    This game majorly sucks ass and is nothing like what the box even says. IT DOES NOT EVEN COME WITH A MANUAL!! Which is one of the most important pieces to a game.

Which is one of the most important pieces to a game. On the box it says you select your mission. Leading you to believe that the game is something that you aren't sitting there rebuilding the same damn car over and over again. I have built the rock crawler twice with all the modified bullshit you have to have for it. Moster wheels, everything it said to do in the how to, and it always says I do not have it done. For $20.00, I would rather have a one time perm in my hair and look like a girl than to have spent it on this boring piece of sh.t game. But, its to late for that. You wanna know what I think? Jesse James needs to come up with something better. And it has a whopping cheat codes, which is nothing. Because you can do the vehicle with the days specified, and do not need the cheat for money if you sell all the parts you can't put back on. So, virtually no critical really good cheats. Maybe I should try to edit the .ini file. But have no clue what to put in it. SUCKS ASS!!! booooooooooo!… Expand

    My 3 is because i really love this game but its also because i cant play it... Many Bugs. Level 1 car is ok but at level 2 bugs begin... Out of bound bug ( primitive bug) etc.. I'm a programmer and i can't beleive that activion release a game unfinished like that... I love the concept but please release a patch.

    The concept is kinda cool, but I have no idea how they could fit so many bugs on one CD!? In the mission "Switchblade", my car neetly slips through the ground, no matter what I do! It's like there's no ground! No support from Activision, if that's even their real name...? No official web site. What can I say? Looks like they stole the graphics from Doom2 and some bugs from The concept is kinda cool, but I have no idea how they could fit so many bugs on one CD!?

    Does not give you enough directions. Does not tell you how to put the car in gear. Does not show you how to paint the cars.

    I agree this gas sucks major ass. First of all it is difficult to posistion the playing portion of the built creations, which is short. There should have been more thought into a game with a empire resting on the name Monster Garage. I beleive is Jeese James and WCC bust I think a marketing person got a bit happy with the idea of making quick cash. I want a refund.

    The game looks to be a cool game. But, as with invictus and activision value, they released it too soon. it needs alot of work. you can't get past mission 4. the game will always crash.

    They should have rebuilt an entire new engine instead of using the sh*tty Street Legal engine. The game keep crashing and freezing. Really not worth purchasing.

    This game sux it crashes all the time. the missions are messed up, like the switchblade one in this one you have to remove the drive shaft but the game wont let you, but it tells you besides that the graphics are horrible. support from activision there is none. or is it invictus ?, non existing website. i dont even know why they even released this game on the engine that its on.

    What do you get is you cross a good concept with a Street legal graphic engine ? Good concept, bad game... the graphics really suck, the game keeps crashing, the "puzzles" are sometimes confusing, there is a giant amount of bugs... oh and the handling sucks... Not a game to buy!

    The designers have simply reproduced challenges from the show virtually ensuring that anyone who might have the least interest in this game won't be surprised by any part of it. The only monster is this garage is a flagrant disregard for fun.

    The lack of any strategy to the gameplay, a generally poor design, and an endless number of stability problems turn Monster Garage into a real monster, all right.

    A big round of disappointment will be had by all that play Monster Garage. Perhaps Jesse and his crew should try their hands at developing a videogame. It can't be much worse than this.
