  1. An absolute joy of a game, especially considering it only costs $4 with the purchase of a Value Meal (and plays on both the Xbox 360 and Xbox). The controls can feel a bit slippery at times, especially compared to the overly precise AI, but for a mini-budget game it's easy to forgive.
  2. Runs a close second to Pocketbike Racer for best of the three Burger King games, with bumper car fun for gamers of all ages, on- or offline.
  3. It's very basic and not as compelling as a single-player affair in the long term, but fire this game up with three other players and get the competitive juices flowing and you'll find a fantastic multiplayer party game joyride waiting to suck you in for a good while.

    Surprisingly fun if you have a couple friends to enjoy it with and is definitely worth the bargain price tag. Overall, for what you'd expect from games of this price, we have a pretty decent showing.
  5. The graphics are good, and the game is fun to play especially online.

    Fairly forgettable. However, you cannot underestimate the fun it is when you get a few of your buddies together or hop online for some Xbox Live fun. Heck, if Big Bumpin' were offered on the Arcade, it would cost 320 points ($4), making it the cheapest XBLA game you could purchase. For this, I stress that this title is a tremendous value for those looking for some quick achievements and easy (and cheap) gameplay to jump into.

    Big Bumpin' isn't a must own title, but it is a good cheap substitute for some of the weak sauce multiplayer modes we've seen on Xbox Live Arcade lately.
  8. It's like the meals that you buy in order to get the game - not 5-star, but it will fill you up long enough to get you by until the next big thing comes along.
  9. You'll play it for a few hours, then take it online, play for awhile longer, then you'll be done with it. It's fun for the time that it lasts, and will definitely last you longer than the more expensive value meal that you'll be buying.

    If you can round up three of your buddies who are ready to get their bumper car on, then you'll find more than your money's worth with Big Bumpin', and only that way. The drop-off from multiplayer to single player is vast.
  11. Based on price alone, it wouldn't be far fetched to assume that the game is a one-trick pony, but surprisingly, there is a nice handful of minigames to test out.
  12. Big Bumpin' might have worked as a part of a large minigame collection, but on its own, it's sort of lame.
  13. Big Bumpin' is a no frills, arcade-style gaming at its purest. Bumpin' is identical on Xbox and Xbox 360, but the 360 version looks dramatically better and offers online play. [Holiday 2006, p.78]
  14. Big Bumpin' is probably the most successful of the three Burger King games, if only because it aims so very low.

    First on the menu is Big Bumpin', a bumper-car romp through four different game modes that totally sucks if you're playing with yourself, but loads of fun if you're playing with a few friends. So Big Bumpin' is pretty much a metaphor for life in general.

    Again the game features multiplayer over Live, but suffers from very few people playing online and is solely populated by prepubescents with limited vocabularies that consist of nothing but insults.

  1. It has fun gameplay and options. It is a joy to play alone, but it is much better with friends. It can be quite addicting for a while but it is not too memorable. Full Review »

    The worst of the BK games. Split screen can last from 30 min to 1 hr. Online is not that good and single player is laking excitment. Other wise boring. But who can complain this game is BK and it is $4. Full Review »

    Any faults in this game can be easily forgiven, considering its ridiculously low price point. But saying that you should put time into this title simply because it's cheap is wrong. Big Bumpin is bad on nearly all accounts, graphics are just bland as death, and are overhwelmed with clunky horrible controls and perfected AI. this game is tough, your AI companions will easily dominate the filed, on any of four various game modes. I recognize the interesting gameplay elements and "thinking outside the box," I can't help but acknowledge the only reason this game would be gaining any attention; because it's unique, gimmicky, and released by Burtger King itself. And that can't help but to be recognized. On price alone, yes, but you get what you pay for, and Big Bumpin is simply abyssmal. Full Review »
