Even though Resident Evil 4 Remake's announcement might have been spoiled by leaks, the first trailer got us plenty excited, and seeing uncut gameplay footage of it in action has us extremely excited.

#MONSTER TRUCK CHAMPIONSHIP REVIEW PRO#
This is where Monster Truck Championship becomes Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater in a truck, and the amount of different stunts and combos you can execute is surprisingly robust. The other events are destruction, which is pretty self-explanatory, and freestyle, which is classic, stunt-centric monster truck mayhem and the highlight of the game for me. Drag racing rewards quick reaction times and skilful truck control and I found it quite addictive. 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. As it stands, it’s all a bit one-note.Īnd if you’re in jail, break outMonster Truck Championship features two types of racing – conventional circuit racing, and drag racing. The atmosphere of these major stadium spectaculars may have been more impressive if I’d started my career wowing more modest crowds in small-town showgrounds or local fairs. Running events in the “Major League” doesn’t really feel any different from your initial events in the ostensibly entry-level “National League”, especially when you’re returning to the same cities and competing on the same courses. Unfortunately, there’s not really any difference in the pomp and pageantry associated with any of the leagues it’s all packed crowds, fireworks, and major stadiums from your debut event. Monster Truck Championship spreads its action across three championship tiers, each featuring 10 main events. Play Progression is pretty plain, as well. But they don’t and, as such, the general presentation is a little too derivative. 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. “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.
