It’s important to differentiate these two main types of events, as the physics are completely different in both, which takes some getting used to, but more on that shortly. You have your typical races, drag races and then destruction and freestyle events. There are over 25 arenas for the different event types, some indoors and others out, but they all blend together, none really standing out from the others.Įach of the three leagues are broken into different events, with each event then consisting of two to five individual races or destruction modes. As you win events you’ll earn points and money, allowing you to eventually move up the ranks and into the bigger leagues. You start your Monster Truck career with a basic truck with practically no stats in the lowest League possible. The majority of your time is going to be spent in the Career Mode, and while there is an online component, there’s little to no reason to play it, which I’ll get into shortly. Sadly Monster Truck Championship isn’t licensed at all, so don’t expect to see any real life counterparts in the game. Now on one hand, if a game is being touted as a simulator, I would expect it to reflect the sport as accurately as possible, which meant I was excited to see the classic and best known monster trucks there are, namely Bigfoot and Gravedigger. While there’s been a handful of Monster Truck games in the past, they were usually always very arcade like, so I was curious to see what a simulation take would be. What initially intrigued me about Monster Truck Championship, developed by NACON and TEYON, touts itself on being the first Monster Truck “simulator”.

Monster Trucks, before the world is in the situation it’s in these days, were so popular that they were able to fill arenas full of fans wanting to watch these machines do what they do best crushing cars. The tricks Monster Trucks can do now these days is absolutely insane, and I can’t even imagine having the power of nearly 2000 horses at your disposal to crush anything in front of you. I remember distinctly standing beside the tires that towered over me, the smell of the gasoline, the deafening of the engines as they floored the gas to do their tricks and the excitement I got watching a Monster Truck crush some cars. I remember my first Monster Truck event I went to as a kid.
