FIA European Truck Racing Championship Is a mediocre experience for truck racing fans, which is a shame as there are no other titles available on the market. As a beginner, this is certainly not the game to start the racing genre with. The game is certainly a different kind of racing game and the trucks do add a different difficulty level. Having the coolant mechanic where you have to cool down your breaks or they deteriorate, is also a plus. However, some of the mentioned plusses, don’t make it worth the price tag one bit.

Critic reviews
- With that all being said, I’m still really glad that FIA European Truck Racing Championship exists. It’s far from being the best polished racing game out there, but the sole fact that there is such a niche game with enough content to satisfy its target demographic is why I love AA gaming in the first place. If you’re into this kind of motorsport, for as specific as it may be, be glad that there is a game that will entertain you for hours. If you’re just a racing game fan, this can still be a very different but competent game for you to enjoy. Just be prepared to endure the boring license minigames before the career actually begins.
- 6.0All things considered, at $40, it’s hard for me to truly recommend FIA European Truck Racing Championship unless you happen to be a big fan of titles like American Truck Simulator/ European Truck Simulator 2. But, if super-fast racing is more your style, you’re headed down the wrong road in this case.
- 8.0All in all, FIA European Truck Racing Championship is a surprisingly good racer, though it’s not going to appeal to all due to the fact that it’s about racing big heavy trucks rather than the latest sports cars. Still, for those seeking something a little bit different, it’s definitely worth investigating. I wouldn’t say it does anything spectacularly well, but when there’s nothing else quite like it available, it doesn’t matter all that much. FIA European Truck Racing Championship offers a fresh racing experience, and that’s somewhat an unexpected pleasure in 2019.
- FIA Euro Truck Racing Championship could have been a stellar addition to an underdone genre on the Switch. Instead, poor performance and lacklustre racing means it becomes yet another racing title destined for the bargain bucket.
- 6.0The main issue with ETRC is that whilst the racing is accurately realised, the rest of the game feels shallow. The announcer who talks to you over the radio repeats the same phrases again and again, with the only option to turn off all the announcers completely or put up with it. The events will undoubtedly put people off because of their length, and the fact that you can’t go into the game and immediately customise your own truck is a little odd.
