    Big Rigs is a trainwreck disaster of a game. It is a glitch fest and the gameplay is totally nonsensical. The psychics is barely there as you can glitch through buildings, mountains, trees or even go outside the game world and explore the solar system

    Racing taken to a whole new level.
    This game set a new standard for racing games with it's smooth controls, stunning graphics, great track design and revolutionizing AI.

    There's no other game that gives you the sense of speed, thrill and danger that this masterpiece presents to you.
    Challenging, rewarding, tense, and with a sweet soundtrack, this is a must buy!

    I have never played some an amazing game! The story about being a ghost truck doomed to win every race is extremely touching. I actually cried at the end. The game runs incredibly smoothly on PC, and it is just in general so much fun! Everything from the speed to the ghost bridges, ah! It's just.... too good. Go out, and buy this game. Play this game, and your life will be complete.

    If you enjoy the thrill of racing games this is a must have. Worth the $80 I paid for it and I don't regret it what so ever. This is now my second favourite racing game behind Euro Truck Simulator.

It was clean and organized, and a bonus awesome techno-rock mixed song playing. I immediately clicked "Custom Game" as it was the first option. There were four starting vehicles that I could race with, all incredible detail. I chose a green Semi truck called "Thunder". Then it took me too the map selection. I had 5 map choices, Devil's Passage 1 and 2, urban areas, Forgotten Road 1, a rural area with scattered houses and a hamlet, and 2 maps that I didn't play called Nightride and Small Town Road, which are big cities. I chose Forgotten Road 1. When the game loaded, me and another racer in an orange van where at the start. I heard "Go!" and went full speed ahead. I heard the most realistic car sounds in a game, ever. I was totally immersed, by the sounds and the amazing graphics. Having the graphics on "high" feels like you stepped into a Virtual Reality machine. Looking away from the monitor for a second made me think I was still in BR:OTRR. Then I came to my first challenge, a bridge. The fantastic collision detection sent me flying after I hit the bridge. Luckily, I found a way out of the canyon I fell it. I continued through the level and I got near the finish. Luckily the AI player crashed into a tree and I passed the finish line first, winning. I got a heartwarming message for my victory, "YOU'RE WINNER" with a trophy. I went back to the main menu. I wanted to play again but I also wanted to write the review.
    THE FINAL VERDICT
    Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing was one of the best games I've ever played. The only problem is there is no multiplayer.

I love how you feel like a god in this game and how you get rewarded with the most satisfying winning screen of all time; a GOLDEN trophy with the brilliantly spelled line: "You're winner".

    Overall I think a game of this proportion should be at least comparable with games like Gran Turismo, GRID 2 and Forza Motorsport 3. Even though this Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is way more superior as all these combined.    … Expand
