Do you like challenging games? Do you like games with good music? Do you like racing? You have gotten the wrong game!
Being known for one of the games on Gamespot that actually has the rating of 1.0, Big Rigs has gotten pretty popular. And therefore I had to try it out. I didn't expect a game that was fun at all, but it was something I really had to try out.
It's as bad as they say, I can promise you that, there's no value at all in this game, and if there was a possibility to give a game the rating of 0, I would do it. Now, to the game itself.
When you start up Big Rigs, you are granted two choices. Either play a Custom Race where you make "all" the settings or play a Random game. There's 5 levels in the game, and four trucks (these are the "settings" you can do).
I started a Random Race, since I just wanted to have some plain fun. At first I was kind of amazed that there was actually some graphics in the game, but I didn't get any music (is there any music at all?). Not even sound effects! I raced away and the car quickly started driving in the top speed 81MPH. As I was driving I noticed that the road was disappearing on some places, and there is no physics at all! You can drive right through poles, houses even climb mountains without loosing any speed at all.
I climbed a mountain that was really, really steep. Not even the best mountain-climber could climb up there. But my truck blasted up there in 80-MPH. Up on the mountain I started reversing. I reversed in a circle shape (like they do on the Video Review on Gamespot) and the car came up to the insane speed of 260+MPH. The truth is that you can actually reverse this car in great speeds, even faster than driving it normally.
When the race was over (checkpoint-based if you didn't know that) and I was told that i was WINNER (You're WINNER!), I thought "Well, let's test some other levels!". So I tried to open up a new level. I actually tried over and over again but the game told me just as the races were to begin "YOU'RE WINNER!".
Something went horribly wrong with this game, and I don't even want to know how mad they publishers were when they saw the final product. What I want to know though is what the intention of this unplayable game was in the first place.
There is no challenge at all in this game, and you should buy it if you ever come by it. It's good for a laugh, but after 10-15 minutes you're full of it. I got to give it a little extra pitch since it contains pretty decent graphics. It's no Half Life 2 or anything, but at least they spent some time on that. I would however recommend this game to people who feel like they don't want any challenges at all, and people who have very low self-esteem and need to hear that "THEY'RE WINNER!" some times.
