At first..

3 Rating: 3, Useful: 3 / 4

At first I never knew about this game till I read gamespot's review and saw their video review. Simply amazing, honestly, because the game is so horribly done. The "fun" factor is rated a 3 because I was converted into "funny factor". Rating this game however was a bit harder because lots of people enjoy this game because it's so bad and want to get their hands on it. This game was not made by "Cokem International Ltd.", in fact it was made by a russian group called "Stellar Stone". What do the russian's know about physic's? Well at least this group has no clues about it nor the english grammar. "You're Winner!" it presents everytime you win, but supposedly a newer release came out saying "You won!" or something of that nature.

Anyways what are the pro's and con's?

Pro's

- Funny Game to get a laugh factor, if you're serious about big rigging, buy another game.
- Groups called "WINNER!" are all around

Con's

- Bridges are non-existant
- Physic's are non-existant
- Back lights are not even attached!
- Cannot change key commands
- Going in reverse you have unlimited speed, let off the key and you instantly stop
- EVEN with the "patch" the AI finally moves but when it gets to the finish line it stops and does not pass it.
- Need a low low end computer to hear music
- One Map Crashes, but you can fix that with the patch.
- Semi's can go up 90 degree angled cliff's?

Did I buy this game? Yes, because I wanted to own the worst game ever made. That is correct, this game is beyond any other "bad" games ever made. I laugh at the back of the box because it says "....including the ultimate traffic stopper...a police roadblock" Which is made fun of alot because..there is no police.

THIS GAME OWNS

When I first playet this game, I was astonished by its Outstanding Visual effects, Breath taking graphics (which greatly surpasses Doom 3's), and its 7.1 surround sound music and sound effects. When I am playing this game, I press my foot against the pillow on the floor like the accelerator, because it looks very realistic. While playing Big Rigs, I can never lose, It makes me cry tears of joy to see the You're Winner screen. In this way, Big Rigs boosted my confindence. I would reccomend Big Rigs to every type of gamer. I bet the developers worked their best to make such a terrific game.

This is an extremely underated game!

This is one of the better science fiction racing games that have ever been released. Even though there are a few flaws, this game still deserves 5 stars because it is so innovative and nothing like it has come out since. You will start by being able to choose between several different disguise vehicles that look like ordinary trucks so that your secret identity, an advanced alien scouting vehicle, will be concealed. You have some very cool alien space powers during game play that might make the game a little too easy for experienced gamers, especially since most of the powers activate automatically, allowing you to decimate your opponents in the races. For example, your freeze ray will automatically stop your opponent in his tracks at the beginning of the race and he will not be able to move so you can complete the race at your leisure. The cops in the game are also no match for the advanced weaponry of your vehicle and any cop cars are disintegrated with your invisible laser beam before they even come into sight. Unfortunately this weapon doesn't seem to differentiate between cops and any other car because you never actually come across any other vehicles. Some other super cool powers you have is to automatically phase through any solid objects in the game, which is a clever idea by the developers to let you avoid that terrible frustration that comes with crashing. Your super space vehicle can also spin in place almost as fast as a tornado, stop instantly, scale vertical cliffs, and enter special warp zones at the edge of each track. These powers are easy to use and will make you feel very powerful during each race. It isn't that challenging of a game but don't let that stop you from feeling full of pride when you win the race and get that famous "You're winner!" I'll never forget that first time I got that message because it made for one of the happiest days of my life. I definitely recommend this game!

My Favorite Game!

At first, I thought Halo 2 and GTA: SA were good games. But then I played Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing! It is my favorite game in the world! It gives me confidence by letting me win every time! It says, "You're Winner", which helps me with my grammar. The trucks are so hottttt! I love Big Rigs! Other games make me cry, because I always lose!

I only give it a one, only because I can't give it a zero.

The title of my reveiw may be just a bit harsh, but boy is it true. Big Rigs is so bad I can't even call it a game. Remember Superman 64, this game makes that one look like Half-Life 2.
Oh where shall I begin. Big Rigs claims to be a racing game but you don't race anybody. Your opponent is there at the beginning, but he never moves. I actually sat there for two hours waiting for him to start. There isn't even any multiplayer, so you can't race anybody at all.
This should be enough to make this the worst game ever, butwait there's more. There's the extremely cheasy graphics. All four of the tracks you can race on are incredibly blocky and look as though it has been raining mud. Mud or steaming piles of horse s***. There also isn't any variety in the cars. You always play the same truck every race. Then there's the clipping. Your car will drive through anything and everything. I don't mean crash through I mean it seemlessly passes through houses and bridges and anything else. To all of you who gave this game a five make a note, when your truck goes through a bridge, it is not a feature. cIt's a bug, a horrible bug that the developers were to lazy to fix.
The box says and I quote, "Get ready for some...CB talking action." But there's no CB or any sound for that matter. No engine noises, no music, no tire sounds, no ANYTHING! Even the annoying guy yelling at you in Collin McCray Rally is better then the silence of a crappy game.
But the final straw is what happened after 2 days of playing. I realized after climbing up a veritcal hill you could actually drive off into nothingness. There are no barriers you just drive off into a blank and empty world. The very words that came out of my mouth next were, "What the F***!" There is nothing decent about this game no matter what that s***head POOP tells you. Avoid at all costs.

Quite possibly among the best games of this generation.

The negative and sarcastic reviews this game upholds is because of its nominal association with other gaming developers wanting to ruin its outstanding glory by posting bad reviews of it.

Big rigs upholds some of the most amazing graphics of its year of release (2003), and can easily hold its own today.

The gameplay is phenominal, and the novel ideas it holds to creep up on you when enjoying its marvellous intensity. Gamepkay features realistic physics that both mimic an actual Peterbuilt 10345 based Semi and its pinnacle of a graphics engine make it look just as realistic.

The driver AI is hard, but possible to keep up with, but each race is challenging. Cops do an equal part in the game, reacting in near realistic ways. Keep your speed down though, and they won't be a match for you.

Once you have completed this stellar review, you will completely have a different outlook on life. Realizing how much worse your menial life was without this game. Buy it and cherish this title for years to come!

BEST GAME EVAR

I used to be a hardcore half-life 2 and doom 3 fan, but I saw the light. Big Rigs is the most amazing game ever created. The cars have some amazing invisible jet boosters to make them go 900 MPH. The graphics engine is simply breathtaking and the physics engine is up there with Havok. This game has a killer sound track to boot. Dont forget this game is so exciting that you can't ever lose!

YOU'RE WINNER!

Big Rigs is a very underrated game...

Big Rigs: Over the road racing. The title strikes fear into the heart of the most hardcore gamer. It is widely regarded as THE worst game of all time. EVER. But I don't think it is, because it presents a good opportunity to get an ego boost. Seeing your winner flashing across the screen will always help you to feel a little better, for starters.

The "Big rigs" in this game are large 18-wheelers, and you drive them around. The Idea is to get to a destination before your opponent can get to it. If you lose, then the cops will find you and arrest you! So you HAVE to win, for the sake of your criminal record. A riveting story, to be sure.

GAME PLAY

The Game play in big rigs: OtRR is underrated. VERY underrated. The problem with the gameplay of this game is the non-realism. The truck will go very fast, and through things. It's not realistic, but if you play it it can be quite fun. Your big rig will drive where you want it to on the track, which makes it almost non-linear. And for a fun experience, go away! That's right. If you go to far off the track, you go into a strange world, and your big rig will do fun stuff, like flips. Sure it is unrealistic but it's fun as heck.

You choose from 4 relatively nice big rigs on 5 different tracks, and then you race 'em! The big rigs are relatively detailed and nice, but the 5 tracks can be quite repetitive and they are all quite similar. However, the four racers will keep you happy.

I like Big Rigs because it is generally a good ego booster. Install it on your PC and within moments you will get "you're winner!" It is great for people like me who never get bored of winning.

There is one more downside in big rigs, and this downside is the one that takes the score from 5 stars down to 4. This huge glitch is the fact that your opponent's car never actually moves. At all. Not even a bit. If you nudge him, you go through him. This is annoying, but if you just feel like winning, then why not go on big rigs? You will be the winner.

To conclude, the game play in big rigs may be unrealistic but it is fun as heck to play. However, it is not a perfect racer, far from it. But the gameplay is still worth the four stars out of five.

GRAPHICS

There's nothing wrong with the graphics of big rigs, except they maybe get a little repetitive, and sometimes the textures lack detail. All in all, they are put together relatively well. This is one of Big Rig's big selling points, I think. There are bridges and tunnels, houses and mountains, and most of the textures are actually OK, if a little blurry.

Buy or Rent?

It's good, but not good enough to be worth a buy unless it costs like $5. This isn't to say it's bad, however. It is a terribly underrated game and people should open their eyes to it.

Overall

It's good, but not perfect. Sure it has some glitches, but what game doesn't? This is a very fun game and is good to play whenever you feel down. There are many people who say this game is absolutely terrible. It isn't. So ignore these people and have fun playing big rigs: over the road racing.

Ugh.

WORST GAME EVER. This game is horrid. You can drive trucks off the map, into white nothingness, and you can drive through buildings. Not to mention the fact that you can't drive over bridges (your truck falls through the bridge).

To call this one of the worst games ever would be giving it too much credit.

According to the box, you have to evade the law and deliver your goods. The thing is, there are no police officers to evade and no goods to deliver. The only thing you do is race against a AI opponent that never leaves the starting line. Yep, it's true. When you start a game, the AI opponent who is supposed to race against you, just sits there at the starting line for the whole race.

YOU'RE WINNER! The game screams that at you when you finish a race against the nonexistant opponent.

The only "human" who could enjoy this game is a dumb 2-year old who is instantly amazed at trucks driving off the road.

Stay away from this game at all costs.

YOU'RE WINNER!
