    LOOOOL! Suppose I should give this a game a 1 for making me lmao! But a 1 would be far too generous! How did the developers release such an awful game, I'd love to see an interview with them on this game! lol

    Simply stunning graphics, addictive gameplay, and intense plotline folded into one of the best pc games ever made. In my country of Ceylon, there was been petitions to even glorify this stunning game to sainthood. I already worship and make sacrifices to Big Rigs. A bit of goats blood, cinnamon, and dewdrops make it happy.

    This is quite possibly the best game ever made, your like a truck and you have to beat another truck, in which the driver is too scared to drive. You have to out run the cops which are somewear in the game. oh yea one more thing terrorists but a trap on you truck, if you back up you get sucked into a vortex you cant get out of so watch out!

    way ahead of its time, big rigs revolutionized what racing is all about. its is so mesmerizing that even the AI is unable to begin the race because its in awe of the visual backgrounds presented in this game. Please buy this game and hope stellar stone releases a sequel to this amazing off road rampage!

    there are not many games that can compete with the pure awesomeness that this game delivers. this is by far my favorite game ever. it excels in all aspects and is a perfect gift for both, casual, and hardcore gamers.

    This is that type of game you get your friends as a joke. The only redeeming factor is that there is so much garbage it makes for good riffing material. 10/10

    There isn't a better game than this one, it's by far the most underrated piece of art ever created, you can spend 10 hours each day on this game and not feel like you have wasted and second of your life. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME, I give it a strong 10/10.

    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

    Even if it seems cool to drive through many things, but this doesn't even include crash effects. This is, as I should say, a truckload of glitches. You drive though bridges, even from above, hills should've slowed you down, driving in reverse in a speed of 2005 mph is too mind crazing, and no level boundaries. This game is so bad that you can get dumb after playing it for 30 minutes.

    maybe how did they let this pass?
    This looks like its in the very first alpha stage. not even CLOSE to a complete game.

    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.

    If there was ever a reason for the 0 rating on Metacritic it was made for this game. The game is broken. No arguments, no questions asked, just plain broken. The game has become notoriously famous for being the worst game ever made and I think it is fair to say that it is worthy of such fame.

    This is by far the worst game i have ever seen, i feel sad for the people who bought this thing called a "game", you can go through walls, through houses, and when you back up you can go over 9000 MPH, there is no "cops" as they say is in the game, and this isn't even a racing game cause the other car was not programed to even move, this should have been named "Big rigs beta".

    This is a horrible successor to the first game. The balancing is way off, and even at the lowest settings more than 30 on-screen enemies brings my computer to an absolute crawl. What a waste.

    If there was ever a list of games to avoid, this game would come out on top. Almost everything about this game is bad although it is good for a laugh. The graphics, gameplay, sound…. It’s supposed to be a racing game and the AI truck doesn't even move!!!

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 must say, it's hilarious how bad this game is. Although the reversing, wall-driving, and other messed up aspects of the game brought me to tears because I was laughing so much, I can't give this game more than a 1. It gets a 1, and not a 0, because it's a funny game. But it's also a fail.

    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.

    i gave it a one to award it for being the worst game ever. there are very few things that are as bad as big rigs is the though of big rigs 2 being released or listening to wrecking ball. talking of wrecking balls someone should use a wrecking ball on this game because its so f*cked up

    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.
