Take a look at Gamespot's review of "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing". Now admittedly I haven't played the game, but I think Gamespot make it pretty conclusive, it's a piece of crap.
It was made by Stellar Stone LLC, a games outsourcing company in Russia.
Now, I'm not sure what to say. I don't know what the reasons for the game being so shit are, but I do know one thing, if you are in the game dev industry, please, I implore you, don't use Stellar Stone for your product. Ever.
I don't care if their costs are "3 to 5 times lower than comparative offers by a local EU and USA companies", because obviously, in this case, you get what you pay for. Well you don't even get what you paid for.
It all boils down to professionalism, Stellar Stone Group have none.
Now, I'm not saying international outsourcing is bad, even though most 118 numbers are rubbish here because of it, and I'm definitely not taking a pot shot at Russian development houses, it's just Stellar Stone specifically.
