Trucker simulator with elements of a racing game, thrashy plot and reckless gameplay. Events unfold around a family of truckers, led by Big Mama: heroes are waiting for missions to deliver goods, racing races on trucks, chases with cops, bikers and even UFOs, and other no less fun activities.
It’s all wrapped up in a crazy story dedicated to the adventures and tribulations of the characters, and it’s also discouraged by the tacky graphics – the years are taking their toll, and both parts of Big Mutha Truckers came out more than a decade ago.
