About "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing"

3 Rating: 3, Useful: 0 / 4

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.

don't play this game!

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!

This game is legendary

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...................

Youre Winner!!!

sometimes i wonder if developers are up to no good. there are plenty of bad or poor games out there. unexpereinced game developers sometimes release unfinished titles. this is the way it is and its probally going to be the way it will always be. however when i purchased this monstrosity after being told it was a game i really began wondering about developers. where they drunk? evil? where they trying to run one of the biggest scam based theft crimes in the history of the country. before we go into what makes this such a terrible game. let me say this DO NOT BUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. now that thats been said lets get on with it. this game plays as if it were a demo created by a 2 year old who was having his drunk father shout out directions about game design. you could call this one of the worst games ever made. but its not even really a game. this is how it goes. contrary to the back of the box of this game. there are no police chases. you dont deliver anything. you dont have any goals to obtain whatsoever. the game consists of the simple premise of having the player race two trucks in a little enviorement until one reaches the finishing line. however the other truck dosent actaully move. what does the game boil down to? you drive yourself to the finishing line. you dont race anybody or antyhing. the entire game is you driving from a checkpoint to the finishing line. however somehow the developers couldnt even nail this baby wins the race everytime because there are no other cars premise. as it features tons of horrendus incredibly noticeable glitches. there is no colision detection WHATSEOEVER. you drive right trough buildings and moautins. the controls are abominable as they will send you into 2 minute spinning effects. in some cases youll actaully be driving and a huge glitch will be present. such as your truck model which is atrocus looking by the way spin for lenghty periods of time. or some of the time it wont even start up. also sometimes the controls will send you right into nowheresville. as youll drive right trough the enviorement. yes you heard that right. youll drive completely trough the enviorement. and the rest of the time youll be driving your truck on an entirely white screen. crashing into diffrent parts of an enviorement that visaully is not even exsistent. not that seeing the enviorement would justify the rough edges. as the enviorements in the game are horrid looking. the graphics in this game are apsolutely frightful. the envioreents are simplistic as your mind can possibly imagine. to call them dull would be the worlds biggest understatement. they are horrible entirely vacant and lacking any eye appeal. the road looks as stiff and plain as an unwashed blackboard. and the disgustingly bad set peices which are other worthless seems as though they were slapped on by a person who was trying to finish the graphics before a 2 minute timer buzzed. this is easily one of the most hideous games ever created. and the idea that any person would take any pride creating this level design is apsolutely atrocuis. the sound design is also terrible theres no music to speak of in the game. the sound effects are akin to a light brreze in a room flapping a sheet of paper. but the annoying youre winner chant every single time you win a race. will surely be the thing that makes you pull your hair out. spit on yourself for buying the game then press the mute button. theres also no story but why would ther be in a game like this? as racing your truck across the simple checkpoint. can only be an option if the game doesnt brake down on you. or if it dosent decide to throw you in a white blank screen where you are temporarily crippled inside your truck. if you dont belive me on how bad this game is and decide to say i wasnt helpful in writing this reveiw. then you can always buy this game for less. lots of auction sites are selling it for about a dime now. in short why would you want a game that isnt really a game. a game than you could have done a better job on. the main point is this is one of the most despicable games ever and if you buy it youll surely feel like a criminal. handing your money to scam theft arists not actaul game developers.

Big Rigs is a Big Flop!

this is the best game that is out in existance. I have seen the graphic quality of half life 2 and doom 3. Big Rigs over the road racing's graphics greatly suprass them. The outstanding visual effects deserves a 6 stars out of five. The opponents AI is so awesome, you will think it is real life. This game is 300 times better than Grand Theft auto, the maps are awesome and realistic! Now I play big rigs every day. Did I forget to mention that the online play is awesome?

All who buy this game IS A WINNER

Close to being the worst game ever

I think the only reason this isn't the worst game ever is because at some point the developers must have realised what they were doing (they must have drunk some coffee and woken up or something).
But that in itself is half the problem - they realised what they were doing and just shoved it on sale while it wasn't even finished. In this game you can't crash into ANYTHING - that's right you can drive on forever, there are also no physics, so you can drive up vertical inclines with no trouble, couple this with the fact that you can accelerate forever (yes, you can go so fast in a circle it will give you an epileptic fit - or a mental breakdown at the sight of such a retarded game) and the game ~would~ just be a case of heading in a straight line to the finish, however there is no pressure as your 'opponent' dosen't move at all.

So let's recap, you can go anywhere on 4 of the dullest levels listening to the worst music, looped, in 4 almost identical trucks and win every time.

Search e-bay for 'live grenades' if you buy this game - you'll need em.
