Some truck-crushing fun

"Monster Truck Madness" is a pretty good game. When I first played it, I thought that it had some of the worst control out of any video game I've ever played. However, after I played it more, I got used to the control and it wasn't too bad. The game has a lot of options of play, which is what makes "Monster Truck Madness" a good game. You can choose many of your favorite monster trucks such as Bigfoot, Snakebite, Grave Digger, and many others. You can play up to four players at the same time in tournament mode or battle mode. The battle mode is the best part of the game in my opinion. You can play soccer, hockey, a summit level where you try to stay on top of an NWO sign the longest, a chase mode, and a tag mode. To give the game better replay value, there are a lot of secrets and codes that you can use in the game to get hidden tracks, make your trucks have huge tires, etc.

I recommend anybody who has a Nintendo 64 to at least rent "Monster Truck Madness." When you first play it, you might scoff at how bad the controls are or how easy you get tipped over, but after you play it awhile, you should get used to it. The only real bad thing about the game is that it doesn't tell you when you're going the wrong way.

The game has a good feature when it comes to the battle games, but it is missing one crusial thing that makes the monster trucks what they are: car crushing. If that is missing, than the absolute highest I'll give it is 3 stars, and I gave it that because it is fun to rolol over the truck and bang your opponent silly. Overall, OK, But too much is left out.

Computer Games Can't Always Make it on Consoles...

Monster Truck Madness was awesome on PC. Monster Truck Madness was pure garbage on N64. The vehicles were slow, hard to control, and the scenery was not that great being that it is one of the more recent games produced for the system. My advice is if you just want a racing game, go for Mario Kart 64. If you want a truck racing game, wait for another one, this one isn't worth your time.

Not the best, but it is deffinatly fun

I have had this game for about 3 weeks now, and I still enjoy playing it. As far as the graphics go, it's nothing special(the graphics are as good as the 64 games usually are). And as far as intrest, It has a lot more to it than just the usual racing. It also has a hockey and soccer game, ram the puck(a giant wheel) or soccer ball into the goal; tag, the title says it all(with the exception of the idea that the truck that is "it" is turned into a 5 ton chicken on wheels); chase, one truck is a normal monster truck and the others(1-3 other players) are police trucks; sumit rumble, a lot like a monster truck version of "king of the hill" that can be played against up to 3 other trucks(other players and/or computer-controled opponents); exhibition, you can choose from most of the differant tracks in the game to race by yourself, against computer opponents, and/or against other players; and circut, you go through about 10 differant tracks(very easy to practically imposible), you have to win first place on a track before you can go to the next track. You can choose from 19 differant trucks. I like the game, but I give this info for you to use to help you decide before you buy.

Summit Rumble is the best part

Well, I'd have to say, all the reviews I've seen says that it isn't very controlable (if that is even a word) I think what the game designers did is have the trucks handle like they really would. It does get annoying though, when you can't stop or when you smash into a checkpoint and it sends you flying. Me and my dad always play summit rumble which is the best part of the game. He hates it when the trucks don't stop and he says they have "bad brakes." In my opinion, all the trucks are different and some are weaker and stronger than others. One example is the Boogey Van, man that thing is so weak! Once you master the handling then you can learn to out smart you opponents and knock them off. It gets my dad so mad that he wants to get sell the game, and it isn't even mine!

frustrating

The trucks do handle like a monster truck would but it gets REALLY annoying. It's hard to figure out where the track is. The whole time we were just going around in circles not knowing how to get back on course. The summit battle is fun though, that is the only part we play on the game.

Great game!

I really enjoy this game. The racing is fun but you have to go slow because if you don't you will crash and go back to last place unless you are far ahead of everybody. I like the Summit Rumble and it is not very hard. The hardest part is getting to the platfom sometimes. The soccer and hockey games are fun but is hard to control the ball in soccer.

AWESOME GAME

monster truck madness is too wild, the trucks handle like real 4x4 would, making it more realistic. a must have for anyone who has ever driven off-road

Big fun - alone, or at a party

When I rented this game, I found it to be rediculously fun. I invited my friends over and we enjoyed it all night. The single player mode including a chanshiop round keeps you on the edge of your seat. And the multiplayer battle games include king of the hill, soccer, hockey, and tag. The controls are a little tough to get used to. But with time you can master the feel of a real monster truck.
