    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

    Its a cool game.. but it is the most unstable game ever .. i have never played a game that craps out on you as much as this... 1.3ghz AMD. 512Crucial ram..geforce 4 mx440 ans yes it crashes often.. i wonder why i even give it a 2. dont purchase until you see a patch is released.

    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!?

    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 :))

    Great idéa. I love it! I missed this since the days of Street Rod 1 & 2. Trouble is it's a bit too basic for my taste. I wish that the user could do more with the design, and didn't have to do an exact copy of the car made in the show. I'm hoping that they will do Manster Garage 2, and that they will make that one more advanced. But there's some hours of fun in Great idéa. I love it!

    As far as gameplay goes, this game is great, it's like you're actually on an episode of monster garage. but it desperately needs a patch, because it crashes for the stupidest reasons. for instance, if you are on the job list and you click next on the last task, the game crashes. you'll see exactly what i mean when you play it yourself. thankfully the actual game is great!!!

    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.
