Usually im not saying this. But this game is too aged. Across America is better. Yes, this game have larger cities (most of them in background + not passable routes, AA dont have even that). But AA better in most other things. And AA is only one that have real opponents. With real goals, not just growing bar with digits saying about percentages (51% for win) with every cargo delivered - as in every later games from SCS. It first real simulator game. But no opponents. HT2 King of the Road (available on GOG) have opponents, but too arcade game. I play this back in the days. And for me - it have enough fan to play again. But only as nostalgia trip. Ever game have some features not included. So better buy whole series - ofc with discount sales. As part of the series - it worth buying and one evening play.
American Long Haul - is latest game in series (except differ Extreme\2). Better in some cases, firt ones - graphics (or not?). But luck of some features from EVERY prev. games. Probably not even largest USA...? From my review of 18WoS:AA game: I didnt play similar games from other devs (i dont know that alternatives, i guess some german developed simulators exist). But for SCS or russians devs - this is best Truck driving simulator. No doubt. Not Rig n Roll, not ETS2\ATS, not old HT2 King of the Road (too arcade game). Across America - only one game with really competion AI opponents. Any newer games from SCS - just sandbox game without competion with opponents or no opponents at all. Yes, most of them have goal take 51% of market. But only old HT2 have opponents... still individuals and too weak. In Across America AI company - real company. With HQ in some cities (and cargo advantages in that city). And growing fast copmanies. Other games from SCS - percentages just a digits. SCS almost like 3DO back in the days. A lot of same games - and newest lack of content. American Long Haul - latest of the series (Extreme - is just A-to-B routes). And lack of features from every prev. games. Every have own exclusive one feature. Yes, this game is too aged. Size of USA is too small scaled. No cargo planning (too much randomised for that). Some other thigs from every later games. And ofc - graphics. Sad, but true - still there is no alternatives.

In case if you dont get it from store page this games is about A-to-B routes. Yes, it still simulator, but with limitations. No own company, just score-based levels. Not so much content. For that - not a bad game. Main series - simulators. And every game have own features not included in prev\latest. So maybe better buy whole series at discount. In that case not matter how good ET2 as separate game.
