![]() The career mode offers some RPG_like progression elements, from hiring members to your team to help with vehicle performance or making / saving money for events. These are large vehicles and they lack precision turning and acceleration at times. Of course, it is very easy to find yourself spun out too – especially on turns. During the Race mode in particular, I found myself frequently smashing into my opponents, trying to get them out of my way, spinning them around, so I could take and keep my lead. Here – especially in ‘Race’ mode, you have the AI directly obstructing you more, as opposed to the more arena-like first two modes I discussed, where you are solo and trying to simply get a higher score than everyone else. Unlike the prior two events, this is less about style and more about substance and finishing as quickly as possible. Race, time-trial and drag racing comprise the other three events, and those are pretty much exactly what you would expect. Freestyle’s focus is more heavily centered on the tricks, and while you still have some objects like cars you can crush like grapes, the focus is more on getting big air with ramps and doing barrel rolls, flips and wheelies on your way to combining different tricks into high scores. Running over cars, crashing through trailers, squashing traffic cones and more help you accumulate large scores while also doing tricks. As you might expect, in the Destruction mode, the focus is on breaking things. These two events put your truck into an arena where you earn points by doing tricks and destroying smaller objects. This weight is actually quite important, especially in the Destruction and Freestyle events. This makes for some interesting moments as you can turn sharply – perhaps too sharply at times – when you need to, and also can be used to help throw your truck’s substantial weight around in different ways. ![]() The other huge difference is now the steering works, as most racing games only have you controlling your front wheels, but Monster Truck Championship sees you using the left stick for your front wheels and the right stick for your two back wheels. The very nature and shape of these tall vehicles makes them handle quite differently than sleeker, track-ready racing cars. ![]() Many racing games can be difficult to get the hang of, and I honestly expected Monster Truck Championship to be among those. All of this variety is certainly welcome, as one of Monster Truck Championship’s greatest strengths is also one of its more notable weaknesses. To that end, there are quite a few different circuits (over two dozen), plenty of vehicles (over a dozen) and a handful of different events to take part in as well s both single player and online multiplayer modes. With it comes higher resolutions and smoother frames-per-second, though in terms of content you’re still getting the same options as you did on the prior platforms. Having already released on consoles and PC several months ago, Monster Truck Championship is now getting a nex-gen update. Monster Truck Championship may not be the deepest racing game out there, but fans of the genre should still find plenty to enjoy here. It has a strange mix of arcade action with simulator settings that allow you to start racing immediately or dig into the many different options you can use to tweak your experience. ![]() ![]() Monster Truck Championship is a surprisingly accessible game where it pays to smash into things as you zip around tracks and large arenas filled with obstacles.
