User Rating: 10 | Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing PC
If you're a fan of Halo, or if "you're winner" this game is for you! This game reminds me of the great times I've had with Donkey Kong, Tony Hawk 2, Pokemon Snap, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Mario Sunshine, and Need for Speed Underground. I believe there were barrels in Donkey Kong, and I'm sure there's a barrel somewhere in Big Rigs too. Tony Hawk 2 may let you skate in a house. In Big Riggs you just drive THROUGH the house. The people inside do NOT even notice. In Pokemon Snap you are in a cart and take pictures. In Big Riggs you just fly off the picture. So you don't have to worry about some jerk taking your picture. In Grand Theft Auto Vice City the police never stop chasing you. In Big Riggs the cops are invisible so you never know what to expect! In fact...nothing chases you..not even your one and only competitor in every map. All five..well only four are playable. That's where Mario Sunshine comes in. Not only is there a sun somewhere in the sky that is not present, but you can actually drive TO THE SUN. I didn't think this was possible either so let out a big breath now. Also five year olds are addicted to Mario Sunshine, and I believe they will be addicted to this simple gameplay. Actually there is only four controls...(back, forward, left, right, fly). OK so maybe there's five, but its still not THAT much to remember! And do you have the Need for Speed? I know I do, especially when I'm backing up at 60 mph or simply driving underground while crossing a bridge. Wow, I'm shocked too. I thought Diglet or Dugtrio could pull that one out...no wait I'm forgeting Onyx and the armadillo looking creature. That's another Pokemon Snap connection by the way. Now I know what you're thinking...what about Halo? While Halo may have the Warthog...does it have an 18 wheeler sporting 16 wheels? One that has the ability to go so fast that its lights falls behind while moving? Last time I checked the Warthog couldn't break the sound barrier...especially when going up Dante's Peak with Peirce Brosnon. I don't know how to spell his name, but it's the 007 dude. All in all this is the most fun I've had since I watched N'SYNC, Aerosmith, and Britney Spears "perform" at the Half Time show at the Super Bowl a few years back. I would gladly sell my soul for this game. That's where Dungeons and Dragons come in...speaking of D N D I gotta go warm up right now for the regional tournament. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play Big Riggs. I hope I win. Please root for me. I pray to God I're Winner.
