Big Rigs, a strong contender for any ‘worst games of all time’ list, currently has a Mostly Positive user rating on Steam because democracy is broken

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing was misnamed. It should have been called Big Rigs: Through the Road Racing, or possibly Through the Nearby Buildings and Also Bridges. The 2003 truck racing game infamously lacked collision, meaning you could drive through anything, including your competitor.

I say competitor, but in the launch version of the game your rival wouldn’t actually move, remaining stationary while you complete the race, at which point a cheap trophy would appear on the screen along with the now-legendary text “YOU’RE WINNER !”

This semi-trailer-themed semi-game was recently released on Steam, where the irony-poisoned have already given it a flood of glowing reviews. One references the fact that in Big Rigs you go faster backwards than you do forwards by writing, “Got addicted to driving backwards, did it for roughly an hour straight just to listen to the literal ear-piercing engine of the truck revving.” Another simply states, “At least someone finally tells me that I’m winner once in my life”.
