Monster Truck Championship‘s career mode is comprised of simple events comprised of a few different races and/or trick events each. Racing through normal circuits feels less egregious, thankfully. Any sharp turn will make your truck flip over and it’s not that easy to spin it back to normal. It’s almost like you have little control over what your truck does when inside a destruction arena. While the overall controls are basically the same between both games, using both analog sticks to control each individual axle of your truck, Monster Truck Championship feels a lot clunkier when it comes to performing tricks. Whenever there are more than three trucks onscreen, the framerate goes down the toilet.

The UI looks cheap (and it features a very annoying tutorial voice going full Navi on you), the resolution is far from ideal, and sadly the framerate is terrible. The game also features some impressive dirt and lighting effects… but that’s it.

You have the ability to customize them in various ways, both cosmetically and mechanically. The trucks themselves, the most important asset in a game like this, are well-modeled. Visually, Monster Truck Championship is somewhat of a mixed bag. When it comes to Monster Truck Championship, on the other hand, I legitimately cannot find a single thing in it that makes it more appealing than Monster Jam. The difference is that each of these direct competitors usually have something in their favor when compared to their direct competitor. They are FIFA and PES, NBA Live and NBA 2K. Both games are targeting the same demographic, offering similar controls, customization options, gameplay loop, and so on.

However, in the case of Monster Truck Championship, it’s nearly impossible not to compare it to Monster Jam Steel Titans in every single aspect. When reviewing a game, I do my best at trying to analyze it by its own merits and faults. This red, white and blue truck of mine just oozes freedom.
