Monster Truck Championship

Fortunately for Monster Truck Championship, it’s still the best monster truck based game available. The lack of meaningful upgrades in this next-gen version, and the lack of a free upgrade path, however, means that it’s impossible to recommend to those who have already bought it on PS4 or Xbox One – they’re better off making use of backwards compatibility unless they have money to burn. There’s just not enough here to warrant the double-dip.

Monster Truck Championship makes a case for the most impressive monster truck simulator on the market, but its lack of content hinders its longevity.

Eschewing the physics-defying arcade chaos of its officially-licensed rival in favour of something a little more grounded and authentic has made Monster Truck Championship a unique and worthwhile motorsports sim that’s really unlike any other this generation, but there are definitely a few caveats. Monster Truck Championship has a good driving feel and a fun and nuanced stunt system, but there isn’t really a great sense of progression or enough tracks in the slim career mode and it’s hamstrung by some noticeable graphical shortcomings.

Monster Truck Championship was released last year as a necessary competitor to THQ Nordic’s Monster Jam Steel Titans franchise. Sadly, not a single thing in that game manage to surpass what its main rival offered. It had less content, lacked an open world mode, and its performance was subpar. It also ran really poorly on last-gen consoles. The game is now available with a brand new next-gen build for PS5. Let’s see if, at the very least, some of these issues have been fixed.

Monster Truck Championship is another one of those racing games that prides itself on realistic simulation. But, like Ultra Off-Road 2019: Alaska, realism doesn

Ultimately, Monster Truck Championship's controls are the one thing that stands out from an otherwise repetitive and dull gameplay loop, thin content, and questionable game physics. Many monster truck fans may have been waiting for that "next good monster truck" game that manages to deliver on all fronts, and unfortunately this is not it.

It’s definitely a lot of fun and something fans of Monster Jam would easily enjoy!
