"The box of Big Rigs states that the player may "race trucks across the country trying to deliver illegal cargo, with cops chasing [them]." GameSpot's Alex Navarro wrote that this description of the game is nothing more than "horrible, horrible lies"[1], since there are no police in the game. Additionally, they pointed out, the computer-controlled opponent vehicles have no AI and never move from the starting position, making even the description of the gameplay as a "race" questionable.
There are technically no obstacles for the player to negotiate in Big Rigs, as the truck may freely be driven on and off roads without any loss of traction, up or down 90° slopes with no loss or gain of speed, through structures such as buildings and trees, simply falling right through bridges, and even out of the boundaries of the map into an endless grey void. When the player's vehicle is put into reverse, its speed will increase infinitely, but the truck will halt instantly when the reverse key is released.
Though there appear to be five courses from which to choose, only four of them actually work. The fifth map, titled "Nightride", does not function, and selecting it simply quits the game.[1]
Upon completion of the race, the player is presented with digital representation of a large three-handled trophy and the text "YOU'RE WINNER !" [sic] The game occasionally fails to distinguish between whether the player is starting or finishing the race when they pass through the starting point, and so this congratulatory screen may appear within seconds of starting a game, ending the race before it even begins.
Stellar Stone released a patch that addresses several complaints about the game. With the patch, the opponent does participate in the race, but stops before it reaches the finish line. Nightride, the non-functional track, was replaced with an exact mirror image of the first track, Devil Passage 1. Some versions of the patch replaced the "YOU'RE WINNER !" text with "YOU WIN!". Sound effects were also added, and later copies shipped with the patch by default. However, no effort was made to alter the physics of the game, and other common complaints are still present"
Taken from the Wikipedia entry for the game. I actually laughed out loud at some of what is written there! ;d

 Morning funkers and I mean everyone who's online at the moment, just got back from work and I'm ready to funk my head out of the way of a very important game tomorrow. How are you doing, Al, Neko and anyone else who is on at the mo.

It's just incredible, isn't it? How could something like that actually make it through any quality checks?!
I can only assume hope it's actually a clever piece of marketing - their plan was to release something so awful that people would buy it because it's so bad. Whether it's to show their friends, to kill time aimlessly, or just to own something that bad, people could still find reason to buy it - to use a net-phrase, they'd buy it for the lulz.
Gamespot rated it 1/10 - the only reason they didn't give it anything lower was because their score system doesn't go to 0!

Despite actively searching, I've yet to find a worse game.
The search continues...
