This is an awsome game that feels like you are watching monster jam on t.v. Only you are in control. My seven year old gets lots of exercise on this one. The 2 player mode is up and down and tends to make you a bit sea sick trying to watch both cars.

My grandson loves this game; he can play it for hours on end (ages 5+). Even the adults get involved in the action! There are even hidden cars to unlock, which he strives to do. Sometimes the competition is intense, yet fun. It is so realistic and the graphics are incredible! And the commentary during the game is phenemenonal. I would strongly recommend this product to anyone who enjoys a challenge.

EWverything a 10 year old boy could ask for!

My youngest sons and his friends love the game. It is easy to use (works better with steering wheel accessory)and, as he progresses through the game, new monster trucks are "unlocked" for use. This keeps them going back for more.

Amazing Game, Great Value

I'm 33 and an avid video gamer for many years. I bought this for my 5 year old son for his birthday last week. He LOVES this game and, actually, so do I ! This is probably one of my top favorite Wii games so far. I read a lot of reviews online where this game got poor reviews. However, I can tell you that it's a solid, fun game.

The controls are easy to learn. My 5 year old caught on quickly and within a few races took 3rd place in an offroad race (out of 6 trucks). The steering, which was heavily criticized online, I found to be very easy to work and quite realistic feeling. Yes, the steering is a little "loose" and there is a tendency to oversteer but I imagine that it would probably be just what it's really like driving one of these Monster Trucks! I'm sure these trucks don't handle like a Ferrari! There's lots of bouncing, crashing, rolling, smashing and other general mayhem which is also makes it difficult to steer through, but that's also realistic.

The game has LOTS of different play modes which I think is wonderful. You can race on large outdoor dirt tracks with all kinds of fun destructable scenery, race on indoor tracks, perform "freestyle" stadium runs where you just drive around and smash cars and stuff, etc. There is no shortage of content with this game at all. Plus, it's pretty cheap as far as Wii games go.

I've never been a fan of racing games growing up, but this is the type of racing game I've always wanted. A rough and tumble offroad romp! There's pulsing rock music in the background, the roar of the truck engines, crashing sounds....it's just pure FUN!

I HIGHLY recommend this game for gamers of all ages, but especially kids under 10. Of course, I still sneak some racing in even when the kids aren't looking! *laugh. You probably will too!

Monster Jam is Fun!

I bought this game after going to see the live show at Naples, and the game is really what a Monster Jam game should be and more.

It's got many trucks (like 20) and you need to unlock some of them, you can play in many different ways or modes (free-style, race in stadiums and circuits, etc.)

The control is touchy, but once you get used to it, it is really fun.
I recommend the game to any monster truck fan. The graphics, as in any other wii games, are not hi-def, but are very good overall, the trucks look like the real thing (my favorites are Gravedigger, Bulldozer and Predator) and you can smash almost everything in the tracks (the trucks show the damage too) It is like being a part of the actual live Monster Jam Show.

The best games

The steering wheel causes sensor problem

this is not as easy to play as it looks. First of all you can't treat it like you're in a race car because if you go fast you'll lose control. You have to go extra slow in order to make your turns. I found that the padded sticker on the wheel causes glue streaks on the remote control sensor. When I play other games the streaks marks would cause problem w/the remote being recognize. I want to send it back. I don't know if it's just a defective one or is it just the way they are. My little boy likes it even though he's almost three. He can make it spin and he likes monster trucks for this reason I give it two out of five.

Wii graphics just dont cut it

The gameplay overall is very fun, it just lacks quality on the graphics side. Which i guess is to be expectided from wii games sence they lack HD graphics capibilities. The driving is very hard to get used to as well. IT turns faster than you turn the wii-mote and sometimes it turns slower. It also felt like I had to have it completly verticle or it would lose signal to the wii.

Fun game......

This is a great game. My boys enjoy it almost as much as I do, my boys are 7 amd 3, by the way. My only complaint would be that the controls take some getting used to, other than that, I highly recommend this game.

fun, but not a good game....

A few things about the game, the controls are horrible, steering is poor at best. I can never win a race or let alone have a chance of winning because of the oversteer on these trucks. I'm 34 and me and my son whose 5 play this game, he has fun driving around and wrecking things. As far as racing he doesnt know any better.
