The more points you get, the more events you unlock, until you reach the league’s finale and you move up to the next stage of your career. Every event consists of some combination of stages, and you garner more points the better you do in every stage. Most of the game’s structure falls into the career mode, where you participate in sequences of multi-staged events to gather points and make your way from the starting National League into the higher prestige, more rewarding Major League. ![]() "These beasts can get up to exhilaratingly high speeds and do awe-inspiring tricks, and while you need to take note so that you don’t lose traction or flip over, the gameplay always feels like it’s giving you the benefit of the doubt when you’re doing something cool." These beasts can get up to exhilaratingly high speeds and do awe-inspiring tricks, and while you need to take note so that you don’t lose traction or flip over, the gameplay always feels like it’s giving you the benefit of the doubt when you’re doing something cool. Instead, you have a high degree of control over the trucks without it ever feeling unrealistic or punishing. Trucks don’t have a boost, nor can you control them in mid-air. The only problem is that there isn’t more of it.Ĭompared to its officially licensed counterpart, Monster Truck Championship puts a lot more emphasis on the simulation aspect of its monster truck simulator. Even with its higher emphasis on simulation over arcadeyness, its level of control over these giant metal beasts feels wonderful, both on the racetrack and in the freestyle arena. While it doesn’t have the luxury of using the real-world Monster Jam license, Monster Truck Championship makes this crossover work about as well as you could hope. But what makes them so great is their huge, over-the-top ability to take down anything in their path and still get up to breakneck speeds. They exist almost in their own world, sectioned off from the rest of entertainment, not quite as detail-oriented as NASCAR but not quite as intentionally bombastic as the WWE. ![]() ![]() There’s something about monster trucks that should translate perfectly to games.
