To think such a small publisher could produce something so incredibly fantastic is mind blowing. Please pay full price and leave a hefty $100 tip to them so they can keep improving the game with their promised continuous updates. Its insane to think they're going to keep making the most perfect racing game better, and all for free too! Nothing deserves your money more than this game.… Expand

    This has got to be one of the worst games ever. The only reason I'm not giving it a 0 is because it is hilariously bad. There is no collision, and you can literally go up a cliff face and not lose any speed. The only bit that kind of works is the AI opponent, and even that tends to break. If you go in reverse, you will accelerate to speeds well over Mach 2. But then, as soon as you releaseThis has got to be one of the worst games ever.

But then, as soon as you release the back arrow key, you stop. If you actually manage to finish a race, you get a picture of a trophy(that could've very easily been from Google Images) and a lame message-"YOU'RE WINNER". I then tried to race again, on a different track. I instantly won. I seriously loaded up the map, watched the countdown, and I won. This game is embarrassingly bad, however, if you need a quick laugh, pick it up. I guarantee you that you will nearly fall off your chair laughing at how bad it is.… Expand

    This is a game that truly stood the test of time, I can still go back to this and have more fun than any triple A title out there. The racing is one of the most realistic things i have ever had the joy to play and the damage modeling is superb. If you have never played this classic you are defiantly missing out. 10/10

    This game should never be touched. It should never be seen. It should never be in the presence of another... Anything. Slender man is scared of this game, satan worships it. The only reason it should exist is so it can be laughed at by YouTubers and their viewers.

    I must say this is the crowing piece of achievement created by a life form. This is so good. Gta V looks like garbage compared to this. Ocarina of Time is absolute trash. This game is what really makes it good to be an American. God Bless America let freedom buzz because you live in a apartment

    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.

    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!

    A Masterpiece. It's one of those game that leave you something inside you, such as The Last of Us or Silent Hill 2. Probably the best physics I've ever seen in a video game, even better than Half Life 2. Don't even think about it, buy it IMMEDIATELY!

    If you DONT BUY THIS GAME, I will give you a trophy and say YOURE WINNER! This is BY FAR THE WORST VIDEO GAME EVER MADE. From the grammar, you can dive through walls, your opponent doesn't move, and there is no sound. This game shouldn't be qualified as a video game! It should be qualified as trash!

    There's only one reason to buy this game: To have a fun time making fun of it. The graphics are hilariously stupid, the AI is dumber than rocks, a map doesn't even work at all, hilarious misplaced stuff, tons of glitches (Like the infamous "Reverse" glitch) and you can go though anything (No physics) Seriously, even a monkey could have made this game better.

    Clearly the game didn't go through the actual tests needed before release, if anything this game was something that really was rushed; the design was horrible and most, maps are repetitive too. The only thing this game created was laughter due to the coding being so horrible that you could probably go as fast as the speed of light just by reversing.

    There is nothing redeeming in Big Rigs, except the fact that it's so bad it's funny. The AI is so bad, the opponent cars refuse to move. You can literally drive through buildings and off the track, and there are just so much better games out there.

    As the Grandfather of all racing games when it comes to immersion and fun you can't top Big rigs Over The Road Racing the graphics where mind blowing back then I can't believe people say Crisis 3 is the best looking game Big rigs Over The Road Racing is from 2003 and it still beats all of these games!

That's totally DUMB, but thankfully we got games like Big Rigs Over The Road Racing that just make the racers not move to just let you get immersed in the pure art that is this game. Also there is no music which helps the life-like graphics not to mention if your the more fast paced type you can go god mode and clip through houses, bridges, Ignore gravity, Ignore physics!

The game also doesn't have collision detection so you can go right through buildings (don't imitate what you can do in games in real life kids) You are also able to accelerate up completely vertical mountains at no loss of speed and are able to break suddenly even if travelling at fast speed. I must admit though it would be pretty cool if I could climb vertical mountains in real life without loss of speed. Where can I get myself one of these trucks? The best thing about this game though is that it makes a great present for someone you hate or want to torture. Don’t egg their house or their car or set fire to their letterbox; just give them a copy of Big Rigs. They’ll be sorry they ever messed around with you!… Expand

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".
