The worst PC game I have EVER played

[LongCoolMother]

LOL! reader review:

While the Gamespot review might be somewhat low, I think the reviewer lacks imagination just a tad. There is too much fun that can be had in a game like this. Compared to games like Pong and various games that were released on the Atati 2600, these graphics are amazing. The sound, when it comes in, actually is not bad at all. The techno soundtrack is what I imagine a lot of truck drivers actually listen to when they are hauling their cargo. The floating taillights were a touch of orginality, in my opinion. Surely, Activision is a courageous company for releasing a game like this, knowing it is likely that it's content will be misunderstood by the masses. In all honestly, this is one of the most fun games I've had the luck of playing and considering the price, you would be a fool to pass up such a bargain. While it may not be a graphical wonder compared to Doom 3 or Far Cry, have amazing and immersive audio like the original Half Life when running A3D or be bug free like NASA software, it is still an achievement nonetheless.

hehehehhe!!

Now, lets not forget the best review this game has ever seen

I'm speechless at this travesty. Gamespot has made some iffy calls before, but the lambasting it gives Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is completley off the mark. It is clear from the beginning that the reviewer simply did not fathom the complexities and allegory of this game.

First off, he laments about the lack of goals in the game. He whinges on that there is no cargo to haul, no police chases, not much of anything. What he fails to grasp is the message Big Rig sends in the very futility of attempt. What point is there of hauling cargo that will ultimately consumed in robotic fashion by an uncaring populace? Criminals incarcerated during a police chase, despite their victim's blood dripping from their hands and a confession pinned to their jacket, are simply set free via the efforts of slick lawyers and the failings of judicial machinations. What is the point of even trying? comes a plaintive cry from Big Rigs. The answer is apparent. There is no point.

Time to lay down and die. This comment on society is driven home (or in fact, not driven at all) even further by the computer AI. It doesn't even leave the starting gate. Much like the dreams and aspirations we harbour as youth, reving our engines on a starting line where the crack of the pistol never comes. Meanwhile, those of privledge cruise to easy victory, unconcerned over such mundane things as rent or grocery bills or collideable landscapes. The societal implications here in the game are staggering.


Perhaps the most stunning allegory is the limbo a driver finds themselves in if they venture off the beaten track. Here the game seems to provide an escape hatch for those willing to take a risk and explore the more remote possibilities of life. It also serves as a stark reminder of the ultimate destination we all are headed for. All roads lead to pergatory; where you go from there is anyone's guess.


It's been awhile since a game of such staggering implications has come along, so I suppose it's not surprising it might knock mainstream reviewers for a loop. But if you open your minds to the possibilities, all roads lead to nirvana.

bahahaha, this thread is making me cry!!

X-play on TechTV rated it as the worst game ever on console. Apparently it's on PS2 or something, also.
