I bought this game for a 8 and 9 year old boy. They were thrilled. Its a game where there is no blood, just good fun. Highly recommended.

Monster Jam is a pretty good game. The graphics during the game are pretty good but they could be better. I would not expect the quality of graphics of Xbox360 but the graphics are poor by DS standards too. The graphics in the intro menus are great! You do not see the damage to your vehicle as in the Xbox 360 version of the game. All the top trucks are represented as are several real stadiums leading up to the world finals in Las Vegas. The music and sound effects seem to be recorded badly they all sound distorted somehow. I do like that it has the voice of the commentator instead of stupid text scrolling on the bottom of the screen. In the game you earn extra turbo boost for smashing items. The turbo boost gauge should be moved to the bottom screen or there should be an option to move it to the bottom screen. It is hard to see where you are going sometimes with the position of the boost gauge. When you advance a level or unlock new trucks there is no message. You can play via WiFi with a pier to pier connection but you cannot play over the internet as in other DS games.

This game is easier for younger children than the WII version. My grandson was able to unlock trucks and play immediately.

My son LOVES this Monster Jam game. Although I have to admit, that as a mom "I just don't get it" he loves to drive these huge, loud, lumbering trucks around the dirt filled arena on the screen for 15-30 seconds watching them crush things. Then he starts again. He loves being able to pick from the real Monster Jam trucks that he sees on TV which are all represented in this game and the more he races the more he unlocks and is able to have in play.

Mindless entertainment that is just like the Monster Trucks we watch on the Speed Channel all the time.

We picked this on up on sale as a special treat for our 4 year old. He loves racing games and he loves Monster trucks. He plays this game alot. I would say that he plays it as much if not more than some of the pricier games (Mario Kart, Diddy Kong racing).
I am not a game player so I can't say anything about graphics or anything technical. I just know that he asks to play this one alot more than he is actually allowed time for video games.
Worth the money paid for the game. FOR A 4-5 YEAR OLD!!!

I purchased this game as a b-day gift for my son who turned 8. He loves the game, he says it is fun and had him entertained for long hours. If any child enjoys watching monster jam.....they will sure love the game!

My grandson and his friends have been having a great time with this game. It's in brand new condition, delivered as promised, couldn't have been a better shopping experience............
