This review is from: Monster Jam (Video Game)

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!

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.

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.
