Big Rigs BLOWS every game out of the water!
Let me expain my love and desire for a game like Big Rigs. I first encountered it in 2005 when I watch GameSpot's Alex Navarro playing this masterful game and reaching to a conclusion of only giving it a 1.0. Now my expectations for this game was low, so I decided to buy it off Ebay for 99p and here I am, in 2008 still playing this addicting game and realised that Big Rigs blows every other racing game out of the water!
My first reactions to playing this game was WOW! I had a pretty high spec machine with a Geforce 8800gts and still had trouble with the frame rates in places. Make no mistake, Big Rigs is as demanding as a PS3 or an Xbox 360 game, and to think it came out 3 years before any of those consoles even appeared in the market! Is Big Rigs better than Gran Turismo 4? Well, some could argue that they are two different types of games and yes they are, but in the end, Big Rigs beats it because of how much fun and replay value is in this game. Thought GTA4 or Oblivion was big? Think again, Big Rigs' maps never end and are seemingly infinite in possiblilities.
All these years the simple things I wanted from a game: Controls, Freedom, and a chance to win fair. Big Rigs answered all of that. I was able to drive up mountains, drive everywhere, drive through water, and most of all, my opponent. He just stays there, feeling like a loser, but that doesn't bother me at all, as Big Rigs has teached me that I'm always a winner when it comes to finishing a race! YOU'RE WINNER! My heart stops beating and I fall unconcious on the floor every time. I've really got to stop playing this game before I end up dying with pleasure! I love spinning backwards at 1,000,000mph! This really is a space age game and is full of adrenaline packed fun!
It's nice to see that Big Rigs has a ton of variety, easily comparing it to a game like Spore or The Sims 2. The Russian geniuses behind this game, Stellar Stone, must have thought to try somethink unique and innovative since there wasn't many games around that actually used Big Rigs as the protagonists of the game. However, make no mistake, Big Rigs does have challenges which are the police road blocks and the police themselves trying to stop you from hauling cargo from travelling in America. They are invisible so its alot harder than it sounds, but thankfully the truck does come with some cool features like unlimited acceleration, ghost mode, and extra grip tires to help you fight off these challenges. The only bad thing I can think of in Big Rigs is the lack of MMO multiplayer, wouldn't it be fun driving around with others on the same map in a truckload of Big Rigs!?!?
I can't describe how much Big Rigs changed my life, and many others around me. You can only experience it yourself. If you want to be a winner, or want the perfect game, then make sure it's Big Rigs. You won't be disappointed. I'd give this amazing game a 10/10 and its quite possibly the best racing game ever made! Just hear the Techno music! If that don't make you fall in love with this game then nothing will! It's a masterpiece!
