Whether they are used or brand new is not known, but I would hate to be the one cleaning the wheels once the crowds have gone home. For reference, the intro cinematic for the race lasts longer than this.ĭestruction and Freestyle are more along what I imagine Monster trucking all about – big tricks and smashing caravans, and for whatever reason, porta-potties. My quickest was just nine seconds, and the longest I can remember was around 20 seconds. I can’t say I enjoyed these head-to-head races all that much, if only because they were often done within just a few seconds. Yeah, I suppose it’s a little easy, but there is a harder setting if you want more of a challenge.ĭrag Races are not your traditional quarter-mile rev-fests but short courses with a turn or two.
This is where flicking the right stick came in handy the right stick controls the back wheels, and once my muscle memory made room for flicking the right stick left or right depending on the turn, I was breezing through races. They are big, bold and susceptible to spinning out of control. Mind you it was not easy, to begin with because Monster trucks do not handle like your typical racing car. My favorites were, of course, the races because they are what I am used to. You have got races, drag races, destruction, and freestyle modes. Each championship comprises several events, normally including a good mix of all available game modes. The racing is good fun, but there is more than the standard racing available. It encouraged me to tinker with my truck and do more than just plough through the pack during races, thanks partly to the sponsorships dictating my racing style. I liked the career mode for what it was, even if it was not intense.
For the most part, you’re spending your cash on entrance fees and truck repairs between events. But, remember, a lot of that money will be spent doing nothing until you make some headway through the career mode. The more you please your sponsor, the higher your potential earnings. Others are a little more complicated, like performing a certain number of a specific trick. You’ll be given tasks to perform throughout a championship, and some are relatively easy, like coming in first. Otherwise I would have bought up everything while still in the minor leagues.Ī final note on the financials you can also sign up for sponsors, and they will help you earn more money. However, you are not allowed to go on a spending spree immediately as the game locks staff upgrades and improved parts behind progression. The higher you place, the more money is paid out to you, which you can use to buy new parts for your truck and hire new staff. The more you play, the more parts and people you can unlock. It costs to enter any given championship, so you are investing in the hope of getting your money back and then some extra. There is a little more to it, but everything else in this world we call Earth revolves around money. The premise of the Monster Truck Championship is simple: you are a driver, and you compete with your truck to earn money which is then used to compete in more championships.
Yeah, it is good then, and if you are not careful, you will lose yourself in its simple but engaging loop. So into it, I pulled an accidental all-nighter while chasing new parts for my truck on massive wheels. But, Monster Truck Championship is not a bad addition to the library, and after an initial period of “what am I doing here then,” I got into it. No, for me, Forza Horizon 4 and DIRT 5 are where I go to get my speedy thrills. Monster Truck Championship would not be my go-to game when that racing itches burns.
