Game Informer Review
In my imagination, driving a monster truck is the ultimate rush of power, as you heedlessly crush all cars and obstacles in your way. Unfortunately, in Monster 4X4, the rigs get hung up on everything from pylons to small picket fences, tip easily, and generally bounce all over the damn place like superballs. Basically, it's just like driving a crappy car except it's got big funny wheels and is hard to control. Given the nice graphics and fairly extensive career mode, I suspect some real care went into this game, so I'll acknowledge that the handling is probably "accurate." However, accurate fun. But, if you're the type of person who gives a rat's butt about the realistic replication of monster truck vehicle physics, this is your bag, baby!
