![]() ![]() As you progress further in the game, new slots will unlock to further differentiate your personnel. Luckily, changing personnel is done with no penalty. Keeping the right balance to fit your own playstyle will be based on your own choices. Hiring an engine specialist will boost your performance while hiring a manager will earn you more money. As you perform well more personnel will offer their services to you. In the beginning, only 2 spots are open to being occupied by your own personnel. This way of gradually getting better works as a perfect trigger to keep going.īesides upgrading your truck you’ll also need to manage your team. Upgrading your truck will obviously let you perform better which will be necessary for later events to be competitive. Signing a sponsor deal and completing the requirements on the deal earns you even more money and unlocks new parts. Performing well in these earns you money and potential sponsor deals. You start with a very basic version of a monster truck and only a few events to compete in. Monster Truck Championship lets you pave your way to monster truck stardom. Monster Truck Championship lets me relive those years by putting me at the helm of my own monster truck. I fondly remember being a big fan of the Grave Digger. Seeing those big monster trucks with their outrageous designs filled me with joy. It hit the minimum, and I’m anxious to see if they build upon this core concept as there’s potential here for something really solid.I loved watching Monster Jam when I was a kid. ![]() I think fans of the event might appreciate this effort, and it was alright. I just wasn’t too blown away by what this had to offer. It felt somewhat limited since they’re spread out across the modes. I think there’s quite a bit of room for improvement, and it would have been nice to have more tracks present. It does get better as you learn, but even then the handling is a little awkward. This is really hard to drive in, and I suppose that can be frustrating. We’ve seen so many racing games this generation, and there’s just a higher expectation at this point across the board. At the same time the modes felt limited, and the career mode felt really aged out. I was fairly impressed by the visual style, and the customization. Monster Truck Championship is alright, I think it’s a decent foundation that could be built upon towards stronger follow-ups. That being said, it has a surprising selection of tricks that you can perform which were neat. I would have also liked a better tutorial here, didn’t really teach the tricks too well. Your vehicles do get dirty, but there’s not really any noticeable dirt deformation which is disappointing. I also noticed weird ghosting behind tires on some tracks. There’s rather bad distance rendering for some objects and shadows as well in general. This didn’t have any performance issues, aside from some visual bugs. It’s just a bit odd as it somewhat aims for simulation but is also leaning on the arcade side of things. They do provide some solid wheel control, but there are some questionable physics in this one. They don’t handle too well, and it’ll take awhile to get a decent handle on them. The vehicles here take some serious time to get used to. There is also an online multiplayer, that’s a great option to have available for those that want to play with randoms or friends online competitively. I would have liked them to push the modes further, as those are somewhat just basics. That includes a race where you’re facing off against a number of other monstrous trucks, or a drag race where it’s one versus one over rounds. Those include freestyle where it’s more open point earning, a destruction option where you need to smash objects while pulling off tricks and then some race options. Past that there’s a free play option where you can jump into the modes. That’s about as complex as career mode gets, and I wasn’t too into it aside from doing some content unlocking. As you finish you’ll unlock new parts to improve your vehicle, and you can grab basic sponsorships that ask you to complete a variety of random tasks. To start there’s a career mode where you’ll be just competing in a variety of races across differing tiers. It’s a fairly precise use of the vehicles, and a decent foundation for follow-ups that could really develop this formula further. This game is all about big Monster Trucks, providing a few ways to compete with them. Monster Truck Championship Review "Big Wheels, Alright Crashes" Campaign Octoat 9:51pm
