I actually really like how this video doesn't say *anything whatsoever* about how bad the game is and instead just *shows* it. Why? Because what really is there to say? *Just look at it!* XD
Actions really do speak louder than words in this review. The sheer awesomeness of the game overpowered him. At the end he looks like he died and went to heaven :D
The funny thing is I could make a better game in 2 days even though I only have a few months of experience in game development. I'm amazed how they could sell such an unfinished game which looks like it's been worked on for a week. It seems as if they didn't have any idea how to make games! Unbelievable...
@@ikagura Jeff Gerstmann has also mentioned that sega fans during the saturn and dreamcast era were particularly heinous with that sort of stuff, a good reminder that people have been assholes on the internet since the start

Executive: We need a new game! Developer: I shall apply my ideas to it. How soon do you need it? Executive: At five o' clock, when you leave work today.
To developers: Was it worth it? Was selling an unfinished shit game worth it? Hopefully they didn't put this on their resume. 8 years later and 8 years from now, this will always be remembered as a terrible game. Making a "nothing special" game is waaay better than selling unfinished game. Mediocrity can be forgotten, but negligence sticks with people.
Well, Sergey Titov, the "lead" "designer" later worked on _"Gears of War"_ in some low-ranking position, and later went on to make _"The War Z"_ which was _slightly_ more playable than this, but made up for it by being a pay-to-win scam and was ultimately abandoned due Hollywood threatening to sue them over blatantly plagiarizing the title of _"World War Z"_ So yeah, they're pretty much going nowhere in life.
This review stand the test of time as when you look back at when this review was made, there were...REAL video game reviews back then. Not the jokey style we have with some critics now. This was raw, unique, unexpected you would ever see the real person playing the game. Its amazing.
This game is so good you'll want to sudoku yourself afterwards because nothing else in life will ever compare. It's so good it was rated number 1. Great review.
Seeing this in 2020, it's crazy to think that in 2006 they had no concept of a low-budget Steam asset flip. We were so innocent back then. We had no idea this type of game would become standard. Woe is us.
It also reminds you that while it often feels like it's much easier to go backwards than it is to go forwards, that if you try you can pass through every obstacle in your path.
Oh how I'm glad that this video still exists to this very day! I remember watching this all those years ago, probably back in 2006/2007 or maybe 2008 at the latest and haven't seen it again since, until now in 2013 :D I was just watching a video about 'Big Rigs Over the Road Racing' and this video came to mind again, so after searching for this game, I managed to find it right away to my surprise! xD
i haven't laughed that hard in a long time, if the game's purpose was to be entertaining it sure as hell accomplished it (though maybe not how it was intended) also fuck physics
This is the most important game ever made. It raises questions that few others do, such as "aren't we all just racing against ourselves anyway?" and "what would the world be like without police?" and "Wouldn't it be wonderful to not have the laws of physics?" It also makes us ask metaphysical questions with a clarity reminiscent of Descartes: What can I actually know about the world around me? Can I really trust what my eyes are seeing? If you want to expand your mind and wisdom, buy this game.
Back when video game websites were actually fun and filled real people with distinctive personalities and looked like they love their jobs instead of filled with stock social justice warriors repeating the same talking points.
Only big man drive and understand big rig, and if not like, you're loser. In homeland big man no drive big rig - big rig drive you. If move in reverse, big rig tear hole in spacetime fabric and transport big rig driver man back to big Stalin party time. Only then is big man winner. But if drive forward, life too slow, and you're loser.
That's a plus for some people (like me). It makes you try so much harder to protect your character and actually plan your next move when you stand to lose everything. Also, if you find a tent you can set it up where you want and store your items there, so long as no one finds it and steals your stuff.
Ahh, the silent film era of video game reviews...
wow,video is upload 13 years ago.
😝😕🤕
@@ไอซ์-ย8ส It was filmed even earlier, before TH-cam, it was originally on their site (probably still is somewhere).

Reminds me of a time when Gamespot was a site with actual and helpful reviews.
Oh, the good old days.... Now we have dipshits like Tom mc Shea on there.
I miss those days.
And their reviewers weren’t wannabe bloggers
I would spend hours just reading reviews of games good, bad, and mediocre just because they were all so well-written.
The Jeff Gerstmann Era before he was so much of a threat
A video game boldly made by a programmer in their freshman year of college, in a week, while drunk.
Even that would be more functional
Extra fun fact: notice the throttle button is up arrow instead of W.... in a 2000's game
Before AVGN
Before somecallmejohnny
There was Alex Navarro
The true master of Big Rigs.
All I can say to the developers is "YOU'RE WINNER!"
Best review ever. Every video game review on the internet has been leading up to this moment. Now that it's over, what's the point of going on?
The funny thing is I could make a better game in 2 days even though I only have a few months of experience in game development.

Big Rigs has a 8 on Metacritic.
Metacritic never lies.
metacritic made 1.0 reviews into a 10 for some reason. So according to Metacritic, Alex Navarro gave this game a 10/10
Why does it have such a high score? Who in their right mind gave this game a positive review?
Psythik Metacritic scores are x/100 btw, not x/10
Asagi Asagiri 8/100.. I agree with psy.
Thank you for uploading this masterpiece. I was afraid it was lost.
This is the same company that said Battle For Bikini Button is a trash game.
Just amazing how times changed.
Makes me want to play superman 64.
So, should I buy Big Rigs?
3 copies
Nintendorulez
I'd be surprised if even 3 copies of this game existed.
steal it
ElBarto3131 According to the devs, this "game" sold 20,000 copies.
yes
I remember watching this the day it was released on Gamespot, the good old days.
Man I feel old.
Even though this one of the shittiest games ever made, You all can't lie the music is amazing.
There is no music in Big Rigs. Gamespot threw this in
Jongy Bringus Oh well I guess my statement is invalid. LOL
DraculaXHunter101
haha
There's actually no sound whatsoever in the game.
Superbandicoot64 Except the engine of the vehicle,
I love this kind of review for gaming. Just facial expressions. No words but you can simply tell if it's good or bad.
Why a 1.0 rating?
I see nothing wrong with this game.

How are they not reviews now?!
IGN never.
a mierda, me encuentro a ustedes en cada lado
Executive: We need a new game!
Developer: I shall apply my ideas to it. How soon do you need it?
Executive: At five o' clock, when you leave work today.
I am God
My favorite thing is they couldnt be bothered to size the timer correctly in the box that surrounds it
Never lose a race again. You're always winner, with BIG RIGS
This is still one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen and I still remember it even more than reviews I watched just last week!
This games needs micro-transactions.

So yeah, they're pretty much going nowhere in life.
Dirty Blue Whoa, he had a role in Gears of War? How do you go from being part of production in Epic Games to making a turd like The War Z?
ccricers I guess they fired him.
Dirty Blue Also Sergey claims he didn't actually take part in the development of the game, his name was put on the credits without him knowing.
This is what started Alex's male-pattern baldness
***** At Giantbomb, playing weird games with Vinny Caravella.
***** I have no idea where that guy is now.
***** Yeah as a joke. It's on TH-cam.
He didn’t say anything the entire vid and I know every thought that ran through his mind, honestly best review for a game I’ve ever watched.

I'd love to know the thought processes of the guy who saw this and thought, "That'll do".
17 years went by so quick 😭
This is my favorite video game review of all time.
Glory days of GameSpot... now site itself is about as good as Big Rigs.
Best review ever.
This game is so good you'll want to sudoku yourself afterwards because nothing else in life will ever compare. It's so good it was rated number 1. Great review.
The memes made this one of the most underrated games ever made.
This video somehow aged extremely well
This is pretty much half of Steam's content lately. "Early Access"
I’ve watched this 50 times over the years. Never gets old.
Legendary video
The greatest review in video game history
This video is still hilarious! And I wish that there is more young hungry and funny reviewers of crappy & good games on the net in the near future.
Bringing it back for AGDQ 2015
Can't believe I seen this 16 yesterday ago, I remember having tears in my eyes at his reaction to this junk
16 years ago holy crap
Never lose a race again!!! You're always winner!!!
2018 anyone?
No 2020
2024 rise of kong by same publisher said yes
And this game was more expensive than journey.
No limits, no rules. It's BIG RIGS!
There's something adorable in that little truck going against the odds and just climbing where ever it wants...
welcome to 2022
The soundtrack to this video was good. Where is it from?
charis hoo I know this is super late, but it's actually Track 4 from BROTTR itself.
This is still a classic
This review’s winner.
Seeing this in 2020, it's crazy to think that in 2006 they had no concept of a low-budget Steam asset flip. We were so innocent back then. We had no idea this type of game would become standard. Woe is us.
Why is this now in my recommendations
It's been more than 5 years when I saw it, but it is still funny as hell
(The review, not the game. The game was disaster lol.)
It's so bad it's actually amazing
This theme is pretty good xD
Are there any Big Rigs Tournament Races coming out?
Hey don't feel bad. Remember, you're always winner.
"I PAID FIFTY BUCKS FOR THIS!?!?!?"
-Someone who actually bought it.

That's what the programmers did to make this game.
It also reminds you that while it often feels like it's much easier to go backwards than it is to go forwards, that if you try you can pass through every obstacle in your path.

Ahah and still 10 years later it's here 😂 it's crazy to think 10 years ago this video was already old, I'm barely older than this video even 😂
i haven't laughed that hard in a long time, if the game's purpose was to be entertaining it sure as hell accomplished it (though maybe not how it was intended) also fuck physics
They probably didn't intend to entertain at all. The devs knew exactly what they were doing. It's basically a scam.
AVGN brought me here.
"Its 1.0 rating, as of April 2007, is still the lowest score ever given to a game on Gamespot."
Ride to Hell: Retribution begs to differ.
Well, Ride to Hell came out five years later, so... How exactly does it beg to differ, again?
Can we talk about that Windwaker Link statue in the background? That looks sick.
I didnt even know that ineptitude existed on this level,but it does. And it has manifested itself with Big Rigs
lol I'm buying it
Leopold Slikk There's free copies of it online.

End of an era of GiantBomb.

I'm surprised news outlets haven't started running footage of the game to try to tackle driver shortages
Best review ever :D
I think we can give sergey a trash bin wrap in a ribbon that says "you're winner" for this game :D
Im curious to know the other three games that got the rare 1.0 rating
This review is winner.
I like how he does a “I would like to speak to your manager” look and just died right there on the middle of the road.,
Ahh yes a nostalgic 2006 video in my reccomended list.
For once TH-cam does something useful
The game is unique, the element of surprise, danger at every turn, unexpected outcome...all in all a true gem!
I LOL'ed VERY HARD at the reverse section at 0:18 at 0:34 .
Which is better? Superman 64 or this game?
When Gamespot had integrity.
That's a plus for some people (like me). It makes you try so much harder to protect your character and actually plan your next move when you stand to lose everything.
Also, if you find a tent you can set it up where you want and store your items there, so long as no one finds it and steals your stuff.
