This game is actually pretty fun. The main mode is a tour mode where you tour the country and go to different stadiums,off road races and exibitions, you earn points towards the champoinship in the stadiums, and earn money to get into the stadiums and buy upgrades for your truck. There is also a single race mode and a training mode where you can play or race any tracks you have unlocked in tour mode. There are also stars hidden in all the off-road tracks, amd if you find all the stars in one track, you will unlock a different truck. Me, I just love going to training mode and just racing around going over jumps and destroying stuff.Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of graphics and lack of commentary, the trucks and tracks look prett good tracks, but the characters just look weird. But besides this is is a great racing game, fun for all ages, with 3 difficulty levels to choose from. Just plain fun.

best car game ever

Terrible. Rpetitive announcing, poor physics for truck movement and action. The trucks all behave too 'light' for the type of vehicle they are. Bailed on the game and went back to good old Need For Speed.

A monster headache.

UBI Soft is a very respectable video game publisher. Rayman, Prince of Persia and games in the Tom Clancy series such as Splinter Cell have all come from UBI. "Monster 4X4", however, doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as those titles.

Perhaps my problem is that these trucks handle too realistically. I'm not really sure. All I know is that they are way too light and difficult to control. You bounce all over the place and constantly careen off course. It's too easy to get stuck in a ditch or among a group of trees. I'd much rather go back to playing a "Smuggler's Run" game if I wanted to enjoy some exciting off-road action.

Of course, there is more than just racing in this game. Seeing cars crushed might be sort of neat when you're up close and personal but it doesn't translate well when you see it in a video game. Add to that some sorry graphics and a flaky camera system (gosh...are developers EVER going to learn?) and what it adds up to is a niche game that die hard monster truck enthusiasts might enjoy but will bore and frustrate those of you looking for something fun to play. Monster disappointment.
