Eight one of the tracks crashes when you select it.Nine one of the people in the credits was responsible for putting sound in the game when he obviously didn't. Other than those complaints this game is pretty cool for what it is.… Expand

    Big Rigs is an interesting game.
    It serves as both a great piece of humor but also as a sign of just how absolutely horrible some dev teams can be.

    Annnnd you'd be justified in asking that. However, let me explain.

    This game is super bad. Super duper bad. On a technical level, it deserves no more than a negative number. Glitchy and incomplete are the two best words to describe this game with.
    That, in my opinion, actually serves to this game's advantage, as you'll laugh so hard at it and it's just that bad that you'll never have a boring time.

    So, while the game is, on all technical levels, **** it balances out as a game that is just super fun to waste time on and laugh at. No other game comes anywhere close to how bad this game is, so that's what makes this a fun game to play, ironically. So long as you have friends there to laugh with you.    … Expand

    This game is controversial. If we look far back from the center - there are a lot of benefits: cool vision, realistic engine behavior, nice story... But the other side is not enough atmospheric soundtrack and a FEW bugs from the box. It's your choice, Neo.

    As a video game this is a horrible mess, that seems to have undergone enough testing to qualify for pre-pre-alpha status.
    One thing I enjoyed about it, however, was the physics of driving in reverse, that got me thinking of a perpetual motion apparatus.

    One thing I enjoyed about it, however, was the physics of driving in reverse, that got me thinking of a perpetual motion apparatus. Didn't take long until I realized that there is no way you could harvest the energy of a virtual object moving at the speed of light without any terminal velocity in sight. I give it a 5, because it runs virtually on any machine, and provides whole seconds of entertainment.    … Expand

    I'm not going to lie, this game earned a 6 from me, not for the graphics or mechanics, but for the half-hour of laughter it brought me. The best part of the game is driving in reverse at negative 25 sextillion mph. I also feel that it's ironic because when you drive over bridges you are under the road. Overall, good for thirty minutes of laughter.

    everybody thinks that the game is bad, because of all the bugs it has, but in reality it's just so fun to play you can't stop, and i have to give it a good rating

    Great gameplay and story. Had to deduct for the lack of additional dlc content over the years.

    A work of modern art, though shallow gameplay and linear story brings down the score it's still a solid game. Perfect for those who enjoy racing backwards IN THE SPEED OF LIGHT!

    This game is incomplete, but funny nonetheless: 1 of the 5 maps doesn't work, but the other ones look like reasonable maps. The Physics, although unrealistic, are just hilarious. The AI is terrible, but because it doesn't finish, it gives you kind of a free roam mode in the infinite emptiness. Graphics are a bit bad, but because it's an old game, I'll forgive the game for this.

    The best thing about this game is the fact that other people actually played it and the reviews they give. Something has to be the worst game ever and we're lucky we have such a shining example. However, I don't own nor have played this, so I'll give it a... well it doesn't really matter. How about the first yellow score on the list.

    This game is so bad, SO BAD, SO BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD, but, it is fun. Fun in a sense of how bad this game possibly is. Released in pre-alpha stage... it's awful. PLay it for how bad it is, not for how bad it is. You'll have fun going backwards at 70 quintillion, which I have done.

    This game is not and I mean not terrible, sure it has some issues (a lot actually) but should we hate on this poor fellow? No!. Sure by gaming standards this should get a 4/10 or lower but by fun standards this game is great, games are supposed to be fun aren't they?

I bet all those people were having a blast, admiring the game by how fun it is than just pointing out the flaws. Wouldn't be fun to be driving all over the place, going through everything which goes in your way? I would!. And are you sick of losing your ass off on those other piece of **** racing games? well in Big Rigs you are always the winner! so you don't have to cry your ass off whenever you lose! how awesome is that?

    This isn't really a game, I don't think you could call it a game, but that's not why it's entertaining. The reason why this "game" is fun is that it is undeniably the most broken program I have ever encountered. The AI doesn't even move, and when you "win" the race, it says "YOU'RE WINNER".

You know how you can do backwards long jumps in Mario 64 to gain infinite speed, but depending on where it ranges from kinda tricky to humanly impossible. This "game" has a similar glitch except to perform it you simply hold reverse. Go long enough and you'll literally warp the reality of the universe. There is absolutely no collision besides the ground, and the map looks like it was thrown together in gmod in less than an hour. Hills speed you up regardless of direction as well. You probably won't get more than a few hours out of this, but they'll be enjoyable hours.… Expand

    Imagine a game that would make "Smokey and the Bandit" look like Gilbert and Sullivan. I know it's difficult to imagine but Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is so pathetic it makes a sandpaper-and-vinegar enema sound positively delightful. Not that I would know.
