Incidentally, this is the worst reviewed PC game in the history of GameSpot:

But do the trucks teleport? And can you design logos for your trucks?

That bit about the best feature being that the uninstaller worked was pretty funny.
An aside, a game like Outlaw Biker where your main character rides around on a motorcycle and does GTA stuff could be pretty darn fun. But only if it actually worked. |

It was nice to read the Big Rigs review again, it's so hilarious. "You're Winner!"

If the screen said "Your Winner!" I would suspect a certain FOFC poster was on the developmental team.

Here's the Gamespot video review of Big Rigs. If you watch it, keep reminding yourself, this game was released less than 4 years ago:

That is funny. I don't have the volume turned up because I am at work but the look on the guys face/reactions reminded me of how I looked during my exams in college, as well as how I look when I'm watching a team I bet on that should easily cover and they are losing by a gazillion.

so did they patch the game? it looks cool, and with a couple of tweaks, it could be great.
Also, is it modable? |

Hmm...
They jokingly talk about dynamic in game advertising in one of the screen shots. Are there any games out there right now that actually have in game advertising that changes? For example, if you were playing Madden online and the signs would change.... granted, the gaming community would blow a fuse but, just curious if that has been attempted yet especially with the rising costs of development.

I like the way the truck vanished/teleported to another place. I wish there was a football game that had that same idea and ability. I guess its just a pipe dream though

You guy are just haters. You don't understand the potential the game brings. I'm sure with a committed developer, and a forum loaded with fanboys, the game will become great at some point in the future.
Now, I plan (in the future) to build a vehicle. THis is large, maybe a Big RIG (LLO!). I will use this big rig to drive into war zone, Catigory 5 hurricanes, NAMBLA meetings to bring these people the game. Because they will not be able to drive them selves. NAMBLA especially. No one likes Marlon Brando look alikes, so they have to work at fast food places. MAybe I can use the greases and oils from these places to run my Big Rig that plays Big Rig...

There was a patch that gave the AI opponent the ability to start the race, though, it still couldn't finish it (it would disapear halfway through). I guess people went into the game files and figured out that there was no alternative ending screen to "You're winner!". So it wasn't even really a bug that you won every time.

My favorite "bad review" is the IGN one of Superman for the N64.
