John Harrington reviewed Big Bang for Games International magazine, and gave it 3 stars out of 5, and stated that "If I had to sum up Big Bang in just one sentence I would describe it as stimulating, educational but not addictive."[1]
The Games Machine praised the game booklet and felt that players would feel a "wide range of emotions" as their companies gain and lose value.[4]
Rod Lawton for ACE complimented the game, saying "if you've got any entrepreneurial blood in you at all you'll be hooked".[3]
Rob Murray from The Daily Telegraph commended the graphic display, and felt that "Much thought has gone into the program".[6]
PC Leisure called Big Bang "[...] initially compelling, but ultimately pointless, exercise."[5]
