Content wise, I wish they would have included an online mode and a few more stadiums and race tracks would have been nice.

They work fine and those with more monster truck experience will likely enjoy them more than I did. The non-race events were the modes I enjoyed the least, mostly because I am terrible at them (this is also the reason why I’m not a big fan of skateboarding games). The rhythm races are kind of dull since I was terrible at timing my jumps (the whole point of this event) but still had no trouble finishing first almost every single time. My personal favorites are the racing events, especially the waypoint ones that allow you to plot your own course to each checkpoint. I enjoyed some of the events, tolerated others, and absolutely sucked at the rest. The game includes many different game modes (regular races, waypoint races, rhythm, freestyle, stunt challenges, and destruction modes), 25 different trucks (including some well-known ones like Grave Digger which even I have heard of), six different careers, and twelve different stadiums. The lack of multiplayer may be a pretty big downer for a lot of gamers, but there is still a solid amount of content in Monster Jam Steel Titans. Even though I personally don’t care that much about playing a game like this online, the lack of multiplayer in a racing game is almost unacceptable and will cause a lot of gamers to look elsewhere. drivers, meaning the game could easily become boring pretty quickly. Due to this, you can only race against the decent but not very difficult A.I. However, not including online play in a 2019 game (especially a racing game like this) is a pretty big negative. I don’t personally play a lot of multiplayer games (I mostly just stick with Rocket League) so it doesn’t really affect me very much. One big negative for many players will be the lack of multiplayer (not even split-screen multiplayer is included). Don’t expect a challenging monster truck simulation game because you’ll mostly get a reasonably fun casual experience from Monster Jam Steel Titans. It seems that Monster Jam Steel Titans is going for the casual market more so than trying to be a hardcore driving experience. However, other than the freestyle mode I had very little trouble in that area (thanks to the pretty comprehensive “Monster Jam University” tutorials). As a complete newbie in this field, I thought I would have a lot of trouble controlling my monster truck. If anything, the controls are actually maybe a bit too easy considering how difficult monster trucks are to drive in the real world. Other than those obvious bugs (which I’m guessing will be patched soon) though, Monster Jam Steel Titans feels pretty solid gameplay wise.

On at least three occasions, I hit something that caused my monster truck to go flying further than any truck should ever fly. The gameplay in Monster Jam Steel Titans overall feels pretty good but there are definitely some things that need to be improved. For monster truck fans, there’s a solid amount of content here but the lack of one big feature (multiplayer) may be a deal-breaker for some gamers.

Its solid enough for what it is, but it isn’t going to make me a fan of the genre or rush out to play the genre again. While I had enough fun playing it, this game isn’t so good that it’s going to suddenly convert me into a Monster Jam fan. Monster truck games have been around since at least the NES days but Monster Jam Steel Titans is the first time I’ve gotten around to trying one in my quest to sample everything I possibly can. I try not to pre-judge anything before I try it. I am also the type of person who is constantly curious and will try everything at least once before he judges anything. I do, however, love driving and racing games which is half of what Monster Jam Steel Titans is (the other half being destruction and freestyle events). I’m just not a truck or destruction kind of guy. In fact, I’ve never seen an event in person, on TV, or online.

I’ve never been very interested in monster trucks.
