Big Rigs' first and most grievous issue lies in its gameplay. Specifically, there isn't any.

Hehe. I love bad reviews.

 

[JoeKing]

Hey, I remember that game, there was no point to it. You just feel in holes, tried to extend you neck to get out (which never worked) and then ate M&M's if I recall correctly.

Even better is this reader review:

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.

Stellar Stone Group are the makers of the game.

So maybe you can blame the russian programmers.

"We combine stong management ( with our Santa Monica, CA based headquarters ) with superb creative, yet non expensive development teams in Russia. This allows our clients to cut development expenses 3-5 times comparing to cost of local European or US development team or employees. At same time we provide instant feedback to our clients, thanks to our management offices in Los Angeles and London. "

Escape from Alcatraz was pretty bad also.

 

[Bootprint]

At least you know it sucks, I hate games that get great reviews but then are release and need 3 or 4 patches and still suck.


Here's another 1.8 "Rebel Trucker: Cajun Blood Money", but you gotta love the name.


My addition to bad games is the 1996 game Destiny by Interactive Magic.

 

[Pepsei]

Soldiers at War, by SSI, now that's a piece.

 

[arcenite]

I think they made the game that bad on purpose... I hope...

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

we should get everyone on ATOT to vote it a 10 and boost its score up to a 9.5 or so

You do that and I'll hunt you down so that I can st@b you with a 8 inch floppy disc.

I hate when you buy a game, only to find that it sucks.

 

[PatboyX]

anyone ever play that game Space Dude?
it was pretty horrible. i remember a review said the best part about it was the hologram on the box.

 

[Martin]

that was hilarious!

mabye they made it so bad so that people will buy it and say they played the worst game every made? Who knows...

 

[JammingJay]

Hehe thx for the laughs

 

[godspeedx]

Hahaha.

"Please do not play this game. We cannot stress this enough."

 

[bolomite]

worst game evar is Cheetahmen 2 (NES), believe me

 

[edro]

SkyDive! for PC also at Gamespot got a 1.8

 

[Apathetic]

I dunno. I remember PC Gamer gave an "Evel Knevel" game a whopping 9% rating once. I *loved* that review. It went something like this:

Pros: The box is kinda nice.
It's all in 1 directory so it's easy to delete.
Cons: The game crashes more than Evel ever did.
