Go around corners without mastering the revs and controlling of the front and rear wheels independently, and you will skid and lose control. Slightly touch another vehicle or part of the scenery, and you will skid and lose control. The handling is unforgiving, and at times I even wondered if I was controlling my truck as it seemed to have a mind of its own on where it wanted to go. This games is described as a driving simulator, and I would totally agree with that. The only positive thing I could take from this game would be decent loading times, but even then anyone would expect that as a matter of course. I even found the announcer’s voice to be irritating, though the roars of the engines were passable. I’m really sorry to say this, but with these next generation of consoles, we really are expecting much bigger and better things than what Teyon have brought us with this upgrade. Pause the game and take a better look, and they look like cardboard cutouts. In fact, I laughed at the crowd animations as they all do the same ‘hands in the air’ animation at exactly the same time. Most of the tracks and environments are very similar, and the various views from the spectators, background and within the vehicle are not very well designed. Go around the track a second time, and it remains as it was the first time, so the presentation is really disappointing. You get flying dirt and mud effects, but the courses are flat with no degrading of the ground as the trucks kick up chunks of dirt. But whilst it looks okay on the PS5, it certainly doesn’t showcase what the console is capable of, and I mean that in a big way. It now runs at 4K and 60FPS, respectively, and uses the Unreal Engine, offering at times some nice effects.

The new upgrade is mainly to do with the graphics and performance after all, this is now on the PS5 and should blow us away. So, what exactly have Teyon done with this re-release/upgraded version of Monster Truck Championship? Well, not a great deal, unfortunately. From the onset, don’t expect a complex and exciting management system here, this really is quite barebones when compared to the likes of Forza, etc. You will need to spend some of that hard-earned cash to increase the four attributes of your vehicle’s performance, as well as employ new team members.Īs you set out your career, you can employ mechanics, managers, and agents to add bonuses to your winnings, the truck’s performance and repairs, as well as entrance fees, which increase the higher up the championships you go. The single-player career mode offers three different tiers of difficulty, and each one includes a number of championships across the United States, and the goal is to win races and earn lots of money to be able to enter the finale.

You will also be gifted with new vehicles and other cosmetics for your driver avatar. Do well, and you will receive a number of points that you can use towards buying upgrades, including body-frame, paints, wheels, etc.

With a mixture of each discipline thrown into the ring, they manage to be challenging, testing your driving skills, or should that be lack thereof, to reach that top podium spot.
