Talk about a horrible game
Read THIS review of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing and decide for your self whether or not this is oneof the worst games ever released. Be sure to watch some of the gameplay movies as well.

This has been posted before, but oh my, those videos tell the true story about that game. Still funny. And still bad.

I streamed them all w/ just being a standard member w/o paying. I opened up one video and then was able to open up the rest from the right-side panel inside the video player.

Speeddude: I agree that the game reviews show that the game is terrible, but that's no need to call the people who spent their money on it retards. Perhaps they saw it lying in the bargain bin and grabbed it, or maybe they didn't read reviews first.

And also, please use the Edit button. There's no need to make 3 consecutive posts in 9 minutes.

I couldn't agree with you more. It is such a waste of time though. It would probably be fun to play for five minutes or less before you want to get out kerosene and a lighter.

Either those reviews are made up or they are about a completely different game.

Big rigs: Over the Road Racing is a product an intelligent consumer such as you should buy, a gamewith breathtaking graphics, superb realism, and a great trucking experiance. The graphics in this game use the Radeon 9800 pro xt technoligy to make the tree's look alive and the roadkill appetizing.

Byte,

I used a junk e-mail account and I have never gotten any spam or unwanted e-mails sent to me at that address. So I wouldn't worry about it.
