Most monster trucks don’t lend themselves to hardcore video game races, of course, but physics seem a bit off. Being in the pack led to an accident, which leads to being behind. Having an accident or going too far off course led to the rest of the pack getting far ahead, and a perfect race led to you smoking everyone. I ran into a tree (that didn’t move at all) and was pinned by another truck who refused to move. Also, the AI is dedicated to getting to the finish line at all costs and doesn’t really take you into consideration. Unlocking him takes so many credits he was far behind when he finally got the car he wanted to drive. When I played, I saw the natural progression: level up your truck and go faster to earn more rewards, but when my son played it and you start out with a training truck and one of the low-tier drivers, all he wanted was Grave Digger. I think that the hardest part of our review boils down to learning that the developers basically have an order they expect you to unlock in and a way to play the game. I’ve come back from far behind by balancing risk and reward. Waypoint racing is far more fun: you have a dot to get to and you get there any way possible. In racing, the circuits are downright annoying: get a hair too far off the road and you are reset, often taking just enough time and resetting behind the rest of the pack. My personal frustration came with the unlocking procedures: after your tutorial your only progression option is a racing career, and forcing you to earn the right to stadium and arena matches. Opening the pause menu allows you to access the career, quickplay, store, and other options. It expands as you unlock more areas, and is generally fun to cruise around as you wish. Most of the areas you can race in outdoors are linked in some way. You are then dumped into an open world that my son actually loved. ![]() Initially, the game dumps you into a core tutorial that teaches you acceleration, brakes, tight cornering, and how to reset your car.
