Then there’s standard drag races, and freestyle and destruction events which are more about throwing your vehicle around and showing off for the crowd. It’s fun, too, taking into consideration the vehicles’ unique physics they’re not particularly fast, but their high centre of gravity make them a challenge to keep under control. For a start, it’s rare to be able to simply race monster trucks on a circuit. Monster Truck Championship has your usual selection of modes, then, but it’s the on-track action that really separates it from the pack. You can show off the vehicle you’ve made in career mode as well if you wish. Split-screen is unfortunately a no-go in Monster Truck Championship, but you’ll be able to take the action online and compete against up to seven players. Of course, outside of career there’ll be the obligatory quick race mode, too, which will allow you to set up races, drag races, time trials, freestyle and destruction events with the settings of your choosing.

Along the way, you’ll earn money for your efforts, which you’ll use to buy new trucks and upgrade and customise them to your heart’s content. It will allow you to make your way through numerous leagues on your quest to be the best monster truck racer around. While it wasn’t available to me in the preview build of the game, career mode will be Monster Truck Championship‘s main draw.
And from what little I’ve played of Monster Truck Championship, I can already tell it’s going to be better than anything that’s come before it. One and a half years of work has been put into it so far, with the aim of making it the most realistic and spectacular monster truck game so far. Don’t let that put you off though Kylotonn, the studio behind the most recent WRC games, is overseeing its development. Most recently known for its surprisingly decent Terminator: Resistance, Polish development studio Teyon is new to this racing game malarkey. Thankfully, Teyon is here to save the day with Monster Truck Championship, what is likely to become the first good monster truck game. Last year’s Monster Jam: Steel Titans was an improvement over the terrible Monster Jam: Crush It!, but it still left a lot to be desired. But monster trucks are just cool, and I’ve always thought they’d offer something different in a sea of GT racers. I don’t know why – it’s not as if I’m an avid fan of the sport or anything. For years now, I’ve been hankering for a good monster truck game.
