    Video games were invented for these games. We cherish them, play them and most of all have fun. Not only is this the best game of all time, but it's also a gargantuan achievevment in gaming: to show that the core game is better than what's written on the box.

    This is a fantastic game. Oh no wait sorry I was thinking of Washing Machine Emulator 4. This game is the epitome of shit. It makes cutting my testicles in half with a rusty fork seem like a good idea.
    Although this game is the most fucked up peice of shit it deserves a score of 10 because it showed me the wonders of cutting my testicles in half with a rusty fork.

    Easily the absolute worst game ever created. It makes me think if the developers actually tested the final product.

    This game killed my soul. Thats it. Don't ever play it, don't acknowledge it, don't even look at it. It will make you want to kill it, but like the hellspawn it is, it will stick around in your mind.

    Although absolutely terrible, Big Rigs manages to get a 1/10 for the laughs it induces when people play it.

    The developers are geniuses. They made just enough of a game so that they couldn't be sued for fraud and made it so bad that all the free publicity would sell millions of copies to people who wanted to play the worst game ever.

    Hands down best game ever. Not only does Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing provide a realistic Rig racing experience, but it also has the best physics / collision system ever released in a game! Move over Half-Life 2, a big rig is coming, and it's gonna take your place!

As for gameplay, I was hard-pressed to find any on the disc, but after using the great uninstall function (completely free), I took the disc outside where it provided many an hour of fun for me and my dog. The controls were very intuitive. It takes a mere flick of the wrist to send the game soaring through the air. The only criticism I can level at this game would be that the material used for the disc was rather flimsy and broke quite easily. I would like to see this improved for the sequel. In summing up, whether you are looking for a drink coaster or a frisbee, Big Rigs delivers, even if it uses flimsy disc technology. And if you happen to slip this disc into the ol' PC, a few clicks is all it takes to install and then immediately uninstall this rare gem.… Expand

    Game? What game? This is AWFUL! The description on the box is nothing but a cardboard web of lies. Horrible, horrible lies. It told me I'd be trying to keep one wheel ahead of the law and crushing my competition. NOTHING could be further from the truth. There is no law. Not even Isaac Newton's law of motion.

I found myself driving up a 90 degree wall at 20,000,000 MPH! The competition does nothing but sit there like some large, wheeled paperweight. Once you win (I once won before I even started to move) you are presented with a trophy with 3 or 4 handles. What sort of Earthly being would need 4 handles? The words 'YOU'RE WINNER!' don't even make grammatical sense. I could spend hours writing down all of the many obvious flaws in this game, but I really have better things to do. If you are considering buying this game, please reconsider. Going to the nearest concrete wall and smashing your head against it for a few hours would be a much better use of your time. Plus, it would give you about the same amount of fun and pleasure as playing Big Rigs.… Expand

    I don't believe this game well....even qualifies as a real game. In real games, the box doesn't lie, there is a manual, there is some kind of difficulty, and the game is at least finished. This has nothing. To start off, the game crashs A LOT, and when you finally get it to load, you get a generic menu screen with a severe lack of modes, if any that even work.

To start off, the game crashs A LOT, and when you finally get it to load, you get a generic menu screen with a severe lack of modes, if any that even work. There are four trucks and five tracks, but one of the tracks cannot be selected, because the game will crash-again. Now, your opponnet NEVER MOVES, and even when you get the patch to "fix" that problem, your opponent barley moves at all and you can drive right through your opponnet. And that;s only the beginning...you pass through scenery, you go up mountains at 80 miles per hour, and when you finally "Win" the race, you get yet another generic screen that says "You Are Winner" with a trophy with three handles. Oh, and if you haven't already caught on, you win EVERY SINGLE TIME. The problems don;t end there either. There is no sound except when you get a patch (the sound is an aweful 20 not track that goes away and NEVER comes back after the five minutes you start laying it), there are no save opitions, and no high scores. And to think the box claims you will get to drive across the country with illegal cargo and cops chasing you. More like 5 (4, actually) bland track, no cargo whatsoever and no cops. This is not a game. It might have been a first draft but no one had the decency to check it. I am shock that GameMill would publish this....trash. For an originally 20 bucks might I add. Please....even if you are curious, Big Rigs is not worth your time or money, and if you see it in your local game store, please ask the clerk to throw the monstrosity in a landfill and let it rot like the Atrai E.T games did. Big Rigs gets no points. No game no points. There are games like Bomberman Act: Zero that are better worth your time. Just please avoid this game- at all costs.… Expand

    This game is just horrible. How can a team of game makers allow a vehicle to go up a 90 degrees slope, have the ground showing through the road, have the AI do absolutely nothing, have the checkpoints be completely useless, have horrible sound, have the trucks be able to go through buildings, have 1 color buildings and trucks that surprisingly can have some amounts of shadow on them, and This game is just horrible.

    This game is the best! You get to drive all around and carry cargo, a man's dream! Seriously though the graphics are incredible and the audio is unbelievable. When you think you've won the race, the superb AI is always there right down to the finish line. It's worth every penny.
