Cheat Code Central

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.

Thunderbolt

If you hate someone, and I mean HATE someone, give them this game as a gift, in the hopes that they’ll play it, because that way you can say to them, “haha, you’re an idiot who plays Big Rigs!” I wish I could think of some redeeming factors for the game, but there simply aren’t any.

GameSpot

So astoundingly bad that it manages to transcend nearly every boundary put forth by some of gaming's absolute worst of the worst and easily makes it into that dubiously extraordinary category of being one of the most atrocious games ever published.

G4 TV

This is hands-down, the worst videogame to ever see the light of day. Really.

netjak

Since there are absolutely NO categories that this game can claim to have completed, it gets a 0. In everything. Gameplay is a 0 because those goal you have in the game isn't really a goal. With no competition, and no cargo, it's degenerated into 3D connect the dots. With no clipping, the Graphics score a 0. There's no audio, and with no gameplay, there's no replay. It's an aboslute failure in all departments of what a game should be.

The average user rating for this game is 3.4 (out of 10) based on 208 User Votes

This is the worst game ever released. It seems like something a therapist would make for his suicidal patients, so they can be "Winners" everytime. But he released the game way too early to save one of his patients who played the game and killed himself before even seeing the "You're Winner". The end result is a simulation of a what a first prototype of a game should look like. It's not a game, it's a virius, that wastes your RAMS memory until you cure your computer by hitting the "Uninstall" feature. Even if you were curious like me about the worlds worst game, still don't waste $5 on this game. Instead watch G4's X-play segment intitled "Games you should never buy" which shows everything the game has to offer, nothing. Oh and the review has sound, something this game lacks as well.

You don't even have to play it, you can just watch the videos to know that buying this game just might kill you.

Quinton R. gave it a5:
The best thing about this game is the fact that other people actually played it and the reviews they give. Something has to be the worst game ever and we're lucky we have such a shining example. However, I don't own nor have played this, so I'll give it a... well it doesn't really matter. How about the first yellow score on the list.

Have any of these downvoters actually played the game? Don't listen to the mainstream review sites like GameSpot or IGN, go out and buy this game. I guarantee you'll love it.

Billy G. gave it a10:
The greatest game ever. The graphics are definitely 10 times better than Crysis, and the driving mechanics are more realistic than driving in an actual truck in real life. If you don't have this game, you've missed out on life itself.

If i was 3, i would really enjoy this game. If i was 5, I'd think it bordering stupidity and if i was 7, I'd throw it away. My 4 year old Brother told me in his words "This game is weird"

Kendall J. gave it a10:
By far, one of the best games on the market. Still holds its own with the "next-gen" racing games, really, it puts them all to shame in my opinion. The graphics are unbeatable, very realistic. The AI can get quite challenging, you really don't see that anymore. The music score is great, really puts you in the mood of the game. Don't listen to console fanboys who are voting 0, this game proves PC still dominates the gaming world.
