They’re not simple, straight-line dashes rather, they’re tricky and technical 10-to 15-second sprints against an opponent tackling a separate albeit mirrored version of the same course. The drag racing is probably my pick here. It’s also hampered by utterly broken timing it’s never clear how far in front you are because the times fluctuate seemingly at random. The racing is fine but it gets a little clumsy when the trucks are too close to each other and a little boring when they’re too spread out. But they don’t and, as such, the general presentation is a little too derivative.Īnswer See Results And if you’re in jail, break outMonster Truck Championship features two types of racing – conventional circuit racing, and drag racing. It’s actually more superficial than that in fact, scrolling through the menus I’d forgive you for assuming the two games shared a publisher.
If you miss this you’d better be dead, or in jailIf Monster Truck Championship resembles any other contemporary racing game, it’d be Wreckfest – although not simply because destruction derbies and monster truck rallies share the same sort of spiritual link with Anytown, USA. The fact that these vehicles are so unlike the light, low, and nimble racing cars that star in most other motorsport sims makes for a fun and interesting change of pace. It’s not just crucial to get your immense truck to make tight turns and perform aggressive donuts, it’s equally handy as a way to reduce the angle of a sketchy drift, or hastily correct a bad landing. For instance, performing tricks is still a nuisance and the sound design couldn’t have been any less exciting than it already is.“The independent rear-wheel steering – controlled by the right stick – also adds a whole new dimension to the driving, and it’s essential to master it. This is still a mid-tier last-gen game taking advantage of a brand new console’s ridiculous horsepower to hide some of its ugly scars. Assets remain a bit ugly and the textures are subpar. I do need to alert you that, despite looking much better than its last-gen counterpart, the PS5 version of Monster Truck Championship still doesn’t look or feel like a next-gen game at all, with the exception of the basically nonexistent loading times. Sadly, the game does not take advantage of the DualSense’s haptic feedback in any way, unlike DIRT 5 or MXGP 2020. As to be expected, this makes the gameplay a bit more enjoyable as well, as you’ll never have to worry about input delays.
It runs at an ever constant 60fps, no matter how many cars are onscreen, how detailed the background is, or how ridiculous of a paint job your truck might have. Good news though! Thanks to the sheer power of the PlayStation 5, this version of Monster Truck Championship features much better visuals, resolution, and performance. Even though controlling the trucks themselves wasn’t terribly complicated, the horrible framerate made things much more annoying than they should have been.Ī vast improvement over the last-gen versions, but still far from what to expect from the PlayStation 5’s capabilities.
This would also impact on the game’s controls and responsiveness. It would tank to single digits if way too many trucks were onscreen at any given time, such as during the beginning of a race, for instance. Its resolution was underwhelming, its loading times were significant, and the framerate was disappointing. Monster Truck Championship did not run very well on an Xbox One. The main difference between this brand new build from last year’s version is its performance. This hasn’t changed at all, so if you’re looking for a crazier monster truck game (and if you’re into this kind of sport, you most certainly are), Monster Jam Steel Titans is still the way to go. This is still the same game that paled in comparison to its main THQ Nordic rival, with its unenthusiastic presentation and career mode. First of all, let’s state the obvious: content-wise, this is still the same Monster Truck Championship from 2020.
