Whilst not a technical marvel with amazing physics and jaw dropping visuals Monster Jam completes the goal that all games should aspire to complete, it’s fun.
-
Upon first sight, and play, this game can be judged quite easily as a bog standard, mediocre, racing frenzy game, any excuse for a bit of chaos.

Games Master UKA frivolous racer with a hefty price tag but brief brainless appeal. [Aug 2008, p.83]
-
Monster Jam is a simplistic arcade racing game that is below average in all areas.
-
Official Xbox MagazineReally, the biggest problem with Monster Jam is its price--for $20, we'd be all over it, but $50? Get over your bad self. [Mar 2008, p.92]
-
Monster Jam is a terrible racing game, and a laughable attempt at recreating the hefty impact of monster trucks to boot. With zero challenge and aggravating control, I don't think "MotorStorm 2" has much to worry about.
-
Xbox World 360 Magazine UKA game without a reason to live, consigned to the scrapheap by the 360's real racers. [July 2008, p.83]
-
Overall, Monster Jam brings nothing new to the genre. It feels like a direct port of the PlayStation 2 version with added achievements, and with the release of Race Driver: GRID at the same time, Monster Jam will never really get off the starting line.

Official Xbox Magazine UKNeither monstrous nor jammy, just tedious. [July 2008, p.84]
