I think big rigs is the absolute best game ever made, it puts halo 2 to shame. sure halo 2 has awesome graphics and is the funnest game ever, big rigs has the most ground breaking effects and graphics that any game will have for at least 20 years. In big rigs your semi is powerful it can drive right through buildings, and it has so much muscle it can drive up a straight angle, how AWESOME IS THAT!!!!!!!!!! Also in the game game your car is so awesome it falls right through a BRIDGE. BUT ANYWAYS BACK TO H0OW GAY HALO 2 IS...................
This game is legendary

I want to make one clear to you. Big Rigs is without a doubt the worst game of this generation! It claims to be a racing game about truck drivers who would race to deliver cargo from place to place while staying ahead of the law. That's what the game's box says. And it lies! there is no goal or story in Big Rigs. You just race from point a to point b, excuse me you drive from point a to point b. The truck you are supposed to be racing never leaves the starting gate! So you will win every time! Objects in the way? Don't worry, you can drive right through everything in your path. You can also accelerate forever. you can also clime vertical inclines with no trouble at all. you can even drive off into nothingness! I'll end by saying this: buying this game would be a waste of your hard- earned money!

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing has incurred a notorious reputation for its poor quality. However it is not so much as the game is poor quality, rather it is just unfinished. This game is the first game that Stellar Stone Group, with development teams based in Russia, attempted to release. They normally develop games, graphics, and music for other corporations or software/gaming companies. (To find out more about Stone Stellar Group, follow this link: http://www.stellarstone.com/company.html).
The story of the game is the player becomes a trucker that is involved in illegal smuggling/shipping and must deliver cargo within a certain time before the competing trucker arrives first. Among the obstacles of Mother Nature, such as rough terrain and driving at night, there should also be police forces that the player must elude or race against in order to reach the finish line in time; however such gameplay has yet to be discovered. It is probable that the police chase portion of the gameplay had not yet been added before the game was released.
The graphics are quite decent with artistic terrains and levels. However the reason this game is unfinished has much to do with the gameplay itself. The controls are overly simplistic. Using only the arrow keys, the player can accelerate and stop incredibly quickly, not adhering to the laws of physics. The trucks do not have traction so much as they just move in any immediate trajectory that the player specifies with the arrow keys, suggesting that the developers had not gotten around to programming traction and slippage in yet, along with possible other control options. Another issue with programming is that the trucks can literally go through any "solid" object in the landscape. This includes, for example, lampposts, buildings, and trees. The bridges must have been programmed as just another stationary object as part of the levels, because the player can drive through them as well, meaning the trucks drive into the crevices below (but the truck will re-emerge; gravity wasn't programmed in yet). The levels are very big, but they do not contain boundaries. One of the levels, Level 4, was not added before the game was released as well; if it is selected, Big Rigs will close. The opposing truck that the player races with does not actually move, but Stellar Stone Group has promptly responded with a patch file for this (go to the company website and look under "support"), except the other truck may stop immediately before reaching the finish line; however there will be a racing experience. A slight error is found in the grammatical structure of the winning screen. It states: "You're Winner!" but it is an excusable, minor mistake as the game was developed in Russia. There may be more glitches or undeveloped sections that may not have been mentioned here.
It is not known why Big Rigs was released so prematurely in its stage of development, but had it been finished it would have made for a fine gameplay experience. It makes for a respectable landscape exploration and driving game, but as for the racing experience, it foils expectations. Stellar Stone Group may have been under an extreme budget or time constraint, so this game is most likely not the best representation of the quality of their work and service.
They also advertise that they can address their customers' problems within 24 hours. If this is true, expect good support services if you have any problems with this game or anything else related.
"Worst Game Ever Created" Gamespot Review

The game was the winner of number 1 spot on Gamespot's 10 worst game list. I saw all review videos on multiple sights, the game is so awful YOU CAN DRIVE THROUGH ANYTHING, and bridges you go under, you fall and and keep driving and come out the other side and do things like drive 100 miles an hour on a full horizontal angle of a mountain! The only reason some one should buy this is to laugh non stop at how bad it is.
