This game is so horrible it's not even worth looking at. It's a racing game. There are 2 ways to lose. 1, have your opponent beat you to the finish line, and 2, the police catch you. Your opponent doesn't even move and there aren't any police. When you get to the finish line, it says "You are Winner". There are only about 5 trucks to choose from, only 3 of them work. There are also a few courses. Only a few of the work. I conclusion, this is the worst game ever.
A sheer work of art.

Simply one of the greatest digital experiences, nay, experiences PERIOD that I have ever experienced. Graphics jump out at you from the screen and hold your eyeballs in their grip. You'll dive out of your chair in response to your Rig nearly crashing into a tree or building, it's so realistic! Of course, the game gives you the avant-garde experience of passing THROUGH said obstacles. The musical score is a tremendously wonderful rendition of John Cage's "4:33", and brings tears to the eyes. The physics are amazing! You can do things you would never dream of being able to do, such as travelling at the speed of light, then instantly stopping with the touch of a button. Stellar Stone has crafted this vision for us, to show us what a perfect world would be. I can only hope that one day, mankind will find a way to make Stellar's visions work in real life. Play the game, and you'll be happy. I know I was!

This game deserves negative stars. Unfortunatly, the lowest amount of stars I can give it, is one. If your looking for a game that involves racing trucks through different environments trying to beat the competition to the end point, a game thats fun, has a little bit of a challenge, involves some skill... Dont buy this game. There are only 4 trucks to choose from. The graphics are terrible. The actual gameplay sucks. You might like this game if you like being able to go from 0-60-0 miles per hour in two seconds up a verticle cliff. The game is so rediculously unrealistic. If you hold down the right or left button on the keyboard, you will spin around in that direction. You can fly off of mountains. When you go over the briges, you actually fall though them. You dont have to worry about obstacles, because you can drive right through them. And your "competition" doesnt even leave the starting gate, so you win every time. I dont know what idiot would buy this game, or give it anything more then one star. There isnt one good thing about this game. It sucks. If you're still convinced that this game could be good, go to this website- [...]
and read the review. also, scroll down to the bottom of the page and watch the video review. Seriously, you do not want this game.
DONT BUY THIS!

This game is the worst. Thats why Im telling you to save your money and buy something better!! This is what you do. You get a truck and race against someone. Dont worry you can win every time because the opponent doesnt move. Want to go straight on the bridge? You will fall through it and back up. Another thing, houses in the way? No problem, you can go right through them, also poles and other objects. You can go out of the game system and back into the race. There ya go, dont waste your time and buy this!
P.S. I would rate this game 0 stars if I could but it wont let me.

I think of myself as someone who usually is too nice when I review things. That being said, on to the review.
Hands down, the worst game to see the light of day. Incase you didn't hear me, WORST GAME EVER. The Good, NADA. The bad, wow, if I type all the bad, then it will take your computor hours to load the page.
The AI doesn't move...not one inch.
Awful graphics for PC standards
No sound, at all
You don't have to worry about bridges, lamps, and buildings, you just drive right through them.
Tired of driving on a straight surface? you can drive even on a 90 degree angle on a mountain
Tired of the world? just drive into the mountains into a white screen of nothing
Tired of the laws of physics, Einstein's theory, and everything possible? Well you can go from o to 60 in reverse in two seconds, without a speed limit, and if you hold the button down long enough, you go the speed of light.
And that famous phrase when you win, "You're Winner", yes, I are winner.
This game is equal to this happening to you:
You are on your computor, it freezes, 30 bees come in the room. They sting, but just not enough to kill you, the honey attracts bears, and worst of all, the CD player is broken and it won't stop playing the same 80s metal song over and over. This game is just abysmal, and may God have mercy on its soul.
Bestest Game Ever? Jesus thinks so.

This game is simply flawless. Every aspect is carved to eat out your heart, soul, and mind. With enthralling care to detail, sharp textures, and vivid animation (you can practically lick the smoke coming from your "big puppy's" exhaust pipe).
But this game isn't about its mind-blowing graphics that surpass even current generation (Gears of War? Psssssshhh. Check out this field of perspective - THROUGH A GIANT, FULLY AMERICAN, TRUCK). No. At heart, Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is defined through its incredible gameplay. When you back up, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ENTER A LEVEL OF TRUCK RACING NO OTHER GAME HAS BEEN ABLE TO EVEN COME CLOSE TO!
Oh and here's what caught my attention the most about this game: the AI. You know how games like the James Bond series are meticulously similar to the incredible, impossible feats of the movies? Well Big Rigs simplifies matters, and certainly makes you feel like "you're winner!"
In short, there is no way to sum up the level of quality this game brings in just one review. You will have to witness it for yourself. As God put it when he played Big Rigs, "Holy ****!"
spectacular

Man you guys are harsh. This game is and always will be the best game in the universe. Need a quick physics review before your test? Play Big Rigs, for the most accurate physics ever incorporated into a game. After all, everyone knows that the first law of physics is, if your car is bigger than a building, it will automatically dissipate right through it! I'm getting an A next semester for sure! And for those of you who enjoy music while studying, have no fear. The soundtrack for this game is amazing! The cool techno beats keep you on the edge for hours as you race your sweet rig against your opponent, keeping yourself from getting caught by the cops. Simply put, the song is amazing. In all honesty though, this game would be nothing without the massive rig and course selections. One of the courses even has a brilliant strategy to it -- it shuts off the game! Wow what a concept! Anyways definately buy this game. It's worth your money and then some. In the future you will sacrifice your first born child even. So buy it. Now!
Note: If you're being beaten everytime and can't figure out how to make your car go faster, make your car go in reverse around the course.
And btw, YOU'RE WINNER!

Big Rigs is easily the greatest video game to ever exist. Titles such as DOOM III and Half-Life 2 pale in comparison to the stunning visuals and bone-chillingly superb soundscapes presented within "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing". The physics engine incorporated in Big Rigs is also somewhat of a surprise factor, due to its almost unbelievable realism. My friend was driving drunk the other night and reported that Big Rigs' vehicle physics are entirely true to such road experiences.
Back on topic - produced by an independent company, this game leaps from the shadows of small-time development to bring a new standard to the gaming industry.
Vive Big Rigs!
This game should be againts the law

This has to be the worse game ever in history.The only reason I gave this one star is because I couldn't put a zero.First of all,when you start the race you can take as much time on the race as you want because you only have one opponet and he never moves at all.When you cross the finish line it says "You Are Winner".It look like a bunch of kids made this game.another thing about it is that you can go through anything on the level.You can drive straight into a house and you will go through it.On one point of the game you have to cross a bridge to get across a lake and when you try to drive across the bridge you fall right through it.Another reason that this game is so bad is you can ride into a hill going straight up and you'll ride up it and wont loose speed.The hill can be going perfectly up.This game also has the worst graphics ever.I't looks like a sega saturn game.I would advise you to stay away from this game and not waste your money.
YES!! I AM WON!
