The team gives us a solid structure and bones for the game, but it does feel at times like it lacks a bit of extra meat. No game has captured the feel quite like this game. Flips, long jumps, high jumps, donuts, reverse donuts, they all require you to use both analog scitks the right way to pull off the maneuvers making is a satisfying experience while you play. This control scheme opens up a world of possibilities for stunts and maneuvering, bringing this closer to feeling like the most realistic racing of any Monster Truck game I have ever played.

The thing is, you’ll get it, and it will make sense, but you do need to “relearn” how to drive in games. Because of this, you are not going to have a good time with the game at the start since you have to adjust to things for a bit. So your front axel is controlled by the left analog stick, and your back one is controlled with the right. Acceleration and braking are tied to the shoulder buttons, as usual, but what makes it different is each of your axles for turning is controlled by a separate analog stick. You do need to need to check out the tutorials. What’s so different? The developer understands what a monster truck is and how to optimize the gameplay mechanics and controller for it. Color me surprised when I got to experience what is probably one of the best monster truck games I have ever played, as it felt different and set it apart from others!

When I got my copy for this Monster Truck Championship review, I was expecting more of the same. I’ve played a few monster trucks games over the past years, and they usually don’t keep my attention for long as there isn’t a huge hook that sets them apart from other racers.
