Winning an event earns you some money, which can be spent on upgrading your truck, either cosmetically or mechanically. At times it can feel like youвЂ™re steering a Mini on an ice rink the raw power that you would hope to be harnessing just doesnвЂ™t feel there. Here, thereвЂ™s a lightness that detracts from the authenticity. They should feel heavy, solid and firmly in command of the road on which they drive. As with any racing games, the physics of the vehicles and tracks need to be finely-tuned to ensure a fair вЂ“ and enjoyable вЂ“ ride, but with Monster Truck Championship the overarching feeling is that these trucks donвЂ™t feel very, wellвЂ¦ monster. These five event types will be familiar to anyone who is a fan of monster trucks, and they present a solid foundation for potential fun. ThereвЂ™s not a great sense of speed, but then again, these are Monster Trucks. Each event will comprise of a number of stages, from a pool of five different challenges: Race, Drag Race, Time Trial, Freestyle (with points earned for stunts) and Destruction (use those big wheels to wreak havoc).

The gameвЂ™s main attraction is the Career mode, in which you take part in events throughout North America. Who remembers Excite Truck on the Wii? It was a game that leaned heavily towards arcade fun rather than opting for an authentic trucking experience, but Monster Truck Championship wants to provide you with the thrills of racing, as well as the opportunity to fine-tune and modify your vehicle while micro-managing a racing career, with the financial implications that this entails.
