Big Mutha Truckers is a game developed by Eutechnyx Limited and published by Empire Interactive Entertainment in 2002. The game, also available for the Xbox gaming console, the Game Boy handheld as well as for the PC, is classified as an action driving title and is played from a first person perspective. We also have to mention that it's the first game in the series.

You begin the game as one of Ma Jackson's four kids. Ma is rather old and there's talk about it affecting the business so, naturally, it's one of her four kids who must step into her shoes - a contest is organized to decide which one is the best suited for the job. As a kid, you need to make money for 60 days by trucking around in order to get your hands on the business.

The entire game takes place in Hick State County and the five big cities in the area. The key to making money is to get commodities from one city and take them where they are needed and where, consequently, people are ready to pay a good price for them. Some of the jobs that you can take on are illegal so you shouldn't be surprised if the police suddenly find you quite an interesting character.

There are other drivers that have the same aims, which is why causing chaos from behind the wheel of a big truck while hauling merchandise is always fun. And, in completely physics-bending fashion, you get to race the huge trucks available on some of the curviest and narrowest roads in video gaming and racing history.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Save money

When you do damage to your truck, instead of paying the expensive price for repairs, try and just trade in your trailer. This will take your damage away.

Get good speed

Do not buy anything in the upgrade store except for storage space and the turbocharger. Do not buy brakes at any cost. Speed is more important than braking.

Recommended view

When you are racing, never set the camera directly on the back of the cab. Instead, set it where you can see the name that's on the back of the trailer.
