Found it. The worst game ever.
Some time earlier I gave you a short insight into the worst Wii game ever made. And if you think that this is pretty unspeakably bad, then you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
It is kind of difficult to describe just how bad “Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing” really is. Let me put it this way: you’re told on the box that you will have to compete against other trucks to deliver your cargo before the others (the computer), and if you fail to do so, the cops will be on you like white on rice. This is what the box says.
Reality: NOTHING (!!!) of this is true. There is no competion, there are no cops.
Critical warning: Do not – I repeat – DO NOT – play this game, under no circumstances. Unless you like levels that have practically no boundaries, and you like to float with your truck in air. Don’t worry, you don’t need to enter any cheats to achieve this screenshot.
In fact, there is no gameplay, there, so I heard and read, is not even music. There is no screen to customize your controls. You use the arrow keys to go into the desired direction, with down being reverse. Ever seen a truck that is able to infinitely accelerate when going reverse and then stop in a fraction of a second? Neither have I. In this game however, it is possible to achieve.
There is no such thing as objects, or physics for that matter in this game. Your truck can without any problems clip through ANY obejct on the map, no problem. Houses. Lamp posts. Bridges? Well they are rendered, but in actuality, have no effect. If you try to cross a bridge, your truck will disappear under it and reappear when the bridge ends. Again, no cheat required.
The screenshot above? The truck in nowhere? Looks like a tech test or something, right? You wish. This is easily done by just driving your so-and-so-much tons heavy truck in nearly 90 degrees up the mountains, and then just continue to accelerate off the boundaries of the map. And because there – naturally – is no time limit, you could gain unlimited hang time bonus (if there were any) – because you can hang out there as long as you want.
And don’t worry, you won’t lose, either. There is a CPU controlled truck beside you at the beginning of the “race”, but it never moves. It has no meaning. None. Nada. Zero. Null. Nichts. It’s useless. To me it appears to be a part of the map instead of a CPU driven truck.
You see, Gamespot has a very well worked out scoring system for each game. Each game is measured at certain points, outlining its strengths and weaknesses, good things, bad things. I often have purchased games because of their score at Gamespot, and so far, I have not gone wrong with this.
You wanna hear the score?
Well, it’s a 1.0.
It’s the worst score ever given to any game in the history of Gamespot. And they go up to 10. Halo 3 in comparison received a full 10 if I remember correctly.
Don’t trust me? Hmm… then watch Alex Navarro from Gamespot as he tries to show you just how bad this game really is.
And if you dare to see more, then read the review on Gamespot.

P.S.: I’m flying to Hamburg this afternoon, company travel. So in the next few days I can’t post. Catch you later.
