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.

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.

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

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.

Lot's of reviews show they hate this game, but none of them say why. First of all there is no clipping so you go thru buildings, bridges, trucks, and even the very boundries of the map. There is no account for gravity so you can take a hill going 80mph. There is no speed cap for going backwords so you can get up to 5000mph before it crashes, yet when you let go of the button it stops on a dime. The AI and one of the maps are broken making the game further pointless. This is not even talking about the terrible graphics! THE worst game of all time hands down, and for that I guess can deserve some reward.

Jake S gave it a10:
Purely, one of the single best games to ever be created. From the gorgeous, stunning scapes and graphics to the realistic FX, to the clever and brilliant music that you will be dying to hear again and again. The way this game captures the look and feel of driving a semi-truck makes me all giddy inside. Hands down, better than the Ocarina of Time, better than Halo, better than Super Mario 64 this wins Game of all Eternity.

Kevin F gave it a1:
Ok, I'll honestly give this is 1 since they put some shred of effort into making this game, since it did involve the copying of the game files from a computer to a disk. However, the rest of it is garbage, garbage, more garbage, and a place in my memory as the worst game of all time... or at least the worst one I have ever played. Where to begin is difficult. I mean, the game made me laugh, it honestly did, just the fact that I reached the speed of light going backwards in a truck outside of the maps reletive area just adds to the mopre fun of it. So we'll begin with the theory of the game racing. What race you ask? Well, I ask that too quite frankly, since there practically is no race. Its you driving what appears to be a truck, but I question the authenticity of that as well. So when you begin, you get the big GO sign, and as you begin to move, you notice your opponent lags behind, actually, they just don't move at all. Oh and here is kicker, if you win, well "win", you get a nice award saying "YOU'RE WINNER!" Isn't that something? Oh yeah, so now we go to graphics. : / The graphics are quite primitive compared to most games at that time, partially because the game was released in aplha staging so the programming of it did not come out to well, neither did our graphics. So being the game wzas realeased in alpha, it did not come out good, but I'm sadly being repetitive, my main ideal is that the graphics are not good, and do not compliment the games in either way. This is probably already TL;DR so I'll end it here and let one of you other reviewers continue with the reviewing. This game is bad, it's absolute crap, and its an abomination to games world-wide. It gets a "supposedly official" score of 2. 1 for effort, or for lack of it but they still did put effort in, and 2 for for being a comical bundle of fun.

David D gave it a10:
I absolutely love this game. Where to even begin..... the graphics are stunning and the sound is breath-taking. The gameplay itself is so fun and realistic, that I feel like I am actually behind the wheel of the truck. The AI in this game is far more advanced than most AI in new-gen games and I feel that the game actually interacts with you as a player. For those of you that have heard bad reviews on this game, go out and buy it for yourself. I guarantee that you'll love it.

Chris R gave it a0:
Funny to look at, but after you have seen YOU'RE WINNER and the other glitches......i say glitches more like absoloute screw ups it is boring..don't play it, don't buy it, don't take it if offered for no fee and don't take it even if offered money. ITS SH*T.

Victor N gave it a10:
This is the best game I've ever played, honestly. The physics are just awesome, the graphics are mind blowing and the sound is incredible. From the gorgeous music that plays in the main menu, to the amazing loop that plays when you play the game, it never ceases to amaze you. The picturesque landscape, the beautiful maps and the incredible graphics also help to make this one of the best games ever made. Buy this game! You won't regret it!

Justin J gave it a0:
This game is a total failure on all fronts. However, I believe it should get a 1. After all, someone spent the time (probably in the area of 5 minutes) to make it.
