    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.

    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. 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.

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

    I think this game is very good, because u can make ur "Monster Car" urself :) P.S. 2 those people who cant find "final pipe" on lvl 3: it will be given for free, then u complete the level, but DONT sell ur both seats ant piece of metal, which u get then u cut back of the beatle, and in the end u just weld it and then u can buy that "pipe" ,simple :))

    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!

    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 give it a ten ...yes it does crash all the time...but i just save it every 5 minutes so in case of it crashing... and for the swamp buggey level you buy the tail pipe after your done the car ...to complete the level you have to have both driver and passenger seats in...to make it from crashing they have a patch now ...

    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.
  2. 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.
