I do wish this upgrade came with more to offer than just a resolution bump that is negligible. There are plenty of courses to race on and the variation of modes is great. While there are no licensed trucks the customization is fantastic. I get the reasoning behind it, but it also makes it a much harder sell to anyone that already invested in the original release.įor those new to the series though the game is packed with content. If you already own it, they are not worth a double dip. That means if you bought the game on Xbox One, you now must repurchase it on Series X to get these minimal upgrades. What is even more disappointing is that this game does not support Smart Delivery. Outside of that there isn’t much here in the way of updates. The game now runs at a native 4K and features 60fps action. The Xbox Series X upgrades for this version are par for the course.
It is all standard racing game career mode fare, but this time with behemoth trucks. Completing events earns players technicians which will improve performance on the trucks. Freestyle mode didn’t do much for me, as performing tricks in these large vehicles is not really my (monster) jam. I found myself enjoying the races more than anything simply because the tracks were interesting. There are standard races, drag races, and freestyle options to keep things fresh. Career mode is where I spent most of my time since it offers up some decent progression and a collection of different modes. Tipping them over is always possible, and Teyon has done a great job of mixing simulation with a more accessible feeling to make driving these beasts enjoyable. Much like Steel Titans it uses the dual analog steering control where the left stick controls one set of wheels, while the right stick controls the other. Monster Truck Championship comes from the Polish team behind the recent (and surprisingly excellent) Terminator game as well as 2014’s Rambo. Monster Truck Championship takes a more direct approach, giving me the modes and styles of play I want from this type of game, but sacrifices licensing and other pieces in the process. It is also fitting that each of these two games feel like half of the other. Monster Truck Championship came out last year on previous generation consoles, but now we have the updated versions hitting next-gen (I still have a hard time calling them current-gen since no one can buy them) consoles. I feel like I haven’t reviewed a single monster truck game in over a decade, and now I am reviewing two of them within the same month.
