Well, if not the best game, at least I think it is one of the best Gamespot reviews I have ever seen.

That was a great review and one of the few that I will use exclusively for my decision not to buy a game.

I still prefer their review of Real Life. They gave it a 9.6.

Hmm, not bad either!

I noticed on the text review you linked that someone gave the game a 3/10. How? HOW?!

 

HAHAHAHAHHAHA.... *pauses to catch breath*

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... *gasps for breath*

HAHAHAHAA .... *whew*

 

I wonder if maybe this problem was confined to the reviewer. I'll read some other reviews. Absolute comedy. The reviews are more interesting than the game.

Yeah, that game is a real gem. Just remember it's still a "YOU'RE WINNER" despite its flaws...

 

EDIT:

 

Taken from Metacritic:

David H gave it a10:

This really is the best game ever made. I dont know why people keep trying to knock it. The physics are so absolutely amazing, its like you're one with the entire Big Rigs universe, the collision detection is so good, its almost like it isnt there in the first place! This game is very hard to master, but once you play it enough, you'll be running circles around your opponents! There is one small downside however. The learning curve is pretty steep. The controls can get a bit irritating at times because they're so realistic. You really get to feel at the raw braking power the semis have, especially when stopping in reverse. Just buy this game guys, it will change your life.

I almost broke my ribs by laughing at the review. I definitely agree that the reviews are much more entertaining than the game. The same was actually the case with the Dungeons & Dragons movie and the reviews for it.

This is to say, actually, that none of the game's races have a purpose because there's no competition and no time limit. You win every single time. So unless you especially like seeing a winning-screen over and over again that reads "You're Winner!", there is absolutely no point in playing Big Rigs.

 

These guys were way ahead of their time!!!

Well, it does fit the modern trend in making games easier and making sure that players cannot fail.

This dates back from 2004... pretty freaking old.

Well, I have never seen it, so I'm glad it was posted. Gave me my giggle of the day. Hilarious.

I am glad you enjoyed it! I know it's old, but I hadn't seen it before and thought it worth posting.

My favourite Big Rigs review:

Strawberry Shortcake:

 

Warning: The video contains foul language.

 

I think this game beats even Big Rigs!

I have had the... experience... of playing BigRigs over the road Racing. If you ever see this:

 

 

Cancel. Please, for the love of all that is good, hit Cancel.

This actually is the best review ever. I don't know if I'll play the game, but the review is sublime.

I dunno, samm, I didn't finish the review. I read the first page and decided to buy the game over STEAM. We'll see. I just hope I didn't get snookered into buying some stupid erotic, Japanesesque, pedophilic quasi-porn. On the other hand, his first impression was quite good and I'm going to dive right in for fear that his second impressions will ruin some of the story for me.

It sure sounds like a test of patience, and to avoid spoiling anything: the review gave it a 5 / 10 in the end, because the other reviewers forced him to - otherwise it would have been awarded an editor's choice...

Oh, it's frustrating and quite weird.

 

EDIT: But I actually like it so far. It's worth the 9 bucks I paid for it. Take from that what you will.
