    Monster Jam: Steel Titans doesn't play as Big as the trucks you get to command. The game starts you with a super simple tutorial, then drops you all alone in a free roam area. This area is designed to help you hone your skills, and gives you collectables to find, some being fairly hard to get. The trucks themselves are wonderfully portrayed visually, but don't feel as powerful and heavy asMonster Jam: Steel Titans doesn't play as Big as the trucks you get to command. The game starts you with a super simple tutorial, then drops you all alone in a free roam area. This area is designed to help you hone your skills, and gives you collectables to find, some being fairly hard to get. The trucks themselves are wonderfully portrayed visually, but don't feel as powerful and heavy as you would suspect. They feel light like an RC car, and tend to be hard to control. The game gives you several options for controlling the 4-Wheel Steering, some might find 2 joysticks controlling the front and back turning separately easier to drive. The game modes were made to represent the intensity of watching these behemoth vehicles burn circles in a Head-to-Head or play with insane power under the hood with a Stunt or Two-Wheel run, but the arena games just feel repetitive and lack luster. I never had to give the gas a feather press so I didn't pop a wheelie on accident! The races were just that, races, with big trucks. The physics on the track only ever seemed to really bother the player as i was sent sailing into the distance, while the AI vehicles were mostly unaffected by collisions, or the rocks along side of the track. I was 'Put back on course' several times for my tires being off the track for a moment, Behind where I was just ON the track. For a game about Monster Trucks, I never crushed a single pile of cars! While there were a few crushed ones on one of the arena stages, they didn't crush further under the weight of my beast.… Expand

    No online multiplayer, the fun events being locked behind a hard single player race series and the slowest grind of in game currency that I can recall makes it really hard for me to recommend to even the veterans of the racing genre. What’s worse, is that I can’t recommend it to the REAL FANS of Monster Jam, the kids that drag their parents out on a work night to spend $100 on popcorn, a hot dog and a two pack toy truck set of Megalodon and Monster Mutt.

    On some level, I guess, I could see Monster Jam Steel Titans being kind of fun. After all, who doesn’t love wonky physics? At the very least, it makes for the kind of game that’d probably be fun to watch on YouTube or Twitch. But if you’re the one paying out money and playing it yourself then don’t bother, because then all those monster trucks being flipped over a million times by stiff breezes and wayward pebbles suddenly become less silly and charming, and more frustratingly bad.

    For a budget game, there's a lot to love in Monster Jam Steel Titans, despite its shortcomings. If you're a megafan of Monster Jam, there's probably never been a better game. Still, it's lacking some basic design functions that could make it a must-own. My kid loves it though, and sometimes that's all that matters.
