Interestingly, depending on the event there’s a different starting requirement for getting the revs in the right place, with the Drag Race having a kind of mini game for getting the right launch. Monster Truck Championship doesn’t believe in dragging things out. It’s done so that there’s usually at least one stage of each type for every event, and they’re all relatively quick to get through as well.

Destruction – wreck as many items in the arena as you can.

Freestyle – stunts and combos around an arena to rack up the highest score,.

Drag Race – very quick head-to-head race,.

Race – laps around a circuit against 7 AI opponents,.

The stages are mixes of the race and stunt categories and will be either: Don’t do well and you’ll just have to keep practicing.

Do well and you’ll get promoted to the next league. The overall performance in the event adds to the league score tally and leads to opening up more events until the end of season championship is available. Each event has between two and five stages attached to it, and scores are given depending on finishing position for each. With a three league structure that equates to easy, medium and hard, and a difficulty system that is actually easy, medium and hard, there’s a decent mix of challenge available depending on your skill level. MENSA membership is not needed in that respect, but calculating the effect of low friction surfaces under massive amounts of torque might need a bit of brainpower. At least conveying the racing part is really easy – press accelerator, turn, press brake.

In a way it puts me in mind of Tony Hawk’s combo meter, and even though Monster Truck Championship is definitely less forgiving it shares a similar idea. It’s also not clear that the combo time limits are pretty tight and registering that you’ve done a trick can be quite a way behind actually pulling it off. You’ll discover this in spades as you progress through the leagues and add better performance parts. It does mask a few things at this stage though, mainly that it’s so easy to tip the trucks onto their backs and not be able to spin them back up again without a reset. Half the events are about tricks and racking up combos to maximise the score, and the tutorial is very good for teaching the linking elements.

Full marks for here on the way it does it to make sure you understand the mechanics of the machines, and in particular the weight shifting nature that the high centre of gravity brings. Getting you into the swing of things is a comprehensive training mode. Driving skills aren’t all that’s important though as there’s a team to run and sponsors to please, so time and money needs to be put in to make sure everyone is happy, and that the best upgrades are being made available. Get to grips with the metal beasts and earn enough points and it’ll be time to rise through the ranks and take on tougher competition in the higher leagues.

Mastering both styles is the key to success, though learning how to control 1200 bhp being put through the wheels of something that has very little weight might be the biggest challenge.

It’s created as a genuine sporting series with leagues, events and stages that all tie in to determine who’s the best driver across two different disciplines: racing and stunts. Yet that’s what Monster Truck Championship is looking at proving – it’s a lot harder than you think. Truck Smash! Go fast, jump, spin, crush… it doesn’t seem like it’s that difficult to do. Does that mean that it loses some of the thrill of romping around in these machines as it tries to make it more technical? Or will having it grounded in a recognisable reality make it a more promising proposition? We’re looking at the next-gen version here, the original game came out towards the end of 2020, so does the extra horsepower bring better performance as well?ĭespite what is no doubt a very complex bit of machinery to build and maintain, monster trucks seem pretty simple in their purpose, almost as if the Hulk is being distilled into vehicular form.

Whereas the last outing in Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 was more about the playful side of these behemoths, Monster Truck Championship is a bit more serious and even bills itself as a simulation.

There’s a saying about buses that we could apply here, but that would mean we’ve been waiting for ages for games about massive engines and oversized wheels on standard car bodies, and that’s not really true in our case. We go for years without monster trucks getting much of a look in for games, then all of a sudden we’re reviewing two within the space of a week.
