Monster Jam Showdown Review - The Final Verdict

[@Xander_Park]

The game is fun for what it is. I'm about 8 hours in of playtime. It's clear this was aimed towards younger gamers, but overall I'm enjoying my time with it. Simple, fun, stress free. A nice break from competitive online multi-player games

[@nflisrigged1395]

So true, fun af

[@ryantheradical]

i miss when these games were over the top: battle modes with weapons around the map with more imaginative locations

[@nflisrigged1395]

Ive put hours n hours into unlocking trucks n livery this game is a solid 8 out of 10 Keep my 43 year old attention, kids gonna love 😘 it

[@Absolynth]

As with Hotwheels, Milestone managed to make the controls pitch perfect

[@OhNuzzy]

Game is pretty fun. Wish there were more maps and modes though

[@Bananawrld]

I think it is an 8/10. Its really fun but as always has its issues. However, im just happy that i like it and it is not getting panned by everyone. The backflip ramps won't let you corkscrew normally. The cars a wonky. There is a Hawaii dlc coming soon and im pretty sure they will fix stuff with its release.

[@80sGAMER]

Maybe they'll come out with a DLC with more tracks.

[@stupidfathobbit4262]

Just finished the game and unlocked all cars. Not a bad way to spend a few days. Only gripes were there were way too many freestyle and best tricks challenges, wish they would’ve added the reverse challenges from Steel Titans where half the pack goes one way and the other half go in the opposite direction and you try not to hit each other upon the intersections. Also the wrestling fan in my would’ve loved a Demolition Derby battle royal mode where you have 8 cars in an arena trying to tip each over on their backs while taking the least amount of damage. Finally I would’ve liked to be able to pick your trucks in arena head to head competitions and chose which ones along the way instead of getting one and doing 3 straight races with the same car

Can anyone confirm for me if Monster Jam Showdown will play on an Xbox One Console or not? Im wanting to get it as a gift. At the top of the ad, it says for Xbox One and Xbox x/s but throughout the description, it only mentions XBox X/s. I just dont want to buy it and have a disappointed feller on Christmas Day. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

[@parallaxview2143]

Wish the trucks had individual stats, handling and sounds.

[@nflisrigged1395]

Oh they drive diff , that lobster 🦞 one drive different, he sux loll

[@vyrag0]

Tell you what though: my 4 year old son loves this game. Good enough for me.

[@nflisrigged1395]

I love it 43 years old lollll

[@ryancox9281]

Monster Jam gaming peaked with Urban Assault and Path Of Destruction

[@adamheeley285]

I am glad this is on switch...it is severely lacking in racing games

[@nflisrigged1395]

Me2 I got now on PS5 wanna get for switch as well

[@rebeccaizzmeeFemm1]

I will stick with Wreckfest...

[@Xander_Park]

Ok, enjoy your decade old game 😂

[@mtnman8783]

It's ok To play more then one game you know

Does it feel like your driving on ice? The last game felt like you were driving on ice & they weigh 5 pounds.

[@cathode6252]

I have it on PS5, and it feels way better. I played Steep Titans 2, which you are referring to a lot, and it feels better. My main complaint would be the terrible rubber banding.

[@mattcross9367]

@@cathode6252 rubber banding? What’s that term in a Monster Truck 🤔?

[@sopcannon]

@@mattcross9367 Bungee banding?

[@cathode6252]

@@mattcross9367 talking about racing games. Mario Kart has rubber banding. That's what it used to be called anyhow. A game like Gran Turismo doesn't have that.

[@TheAtvman88]

@@cathode6252 Steep Titans 2, was that the last monster jam game? Thats what I was referring to. Thanks for the info.

[@JamesEKing]

Just bought it today for my girlfriend and myself… WE ARE ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE❤❤ IT IS SO MUCH FUN

[@KnightTemplar1977]

It's fun. A solid 7. Fairly shallow but simple, uncomplicated fun.

[@nflisrigged1395]

8 out of 10

[@veganelduderino9392]

I was hoping this would of been the Wreckfest of monster trucks...

[@cyberhybrid017]

Did you seriously think that FELD, of all corporations, would want to make a monster truck derby game? You must be blind to what Monster Jam is, or you just think that monster trucks are just like demo cars (spoiler: THEY’RE NOT)

[@veganelduderino9392]

@warhybrid017 calm your tits! I barely knew who bugbear was before I played Wreckfest , it became one of my favorite racing game ever!

[@cyberhybrid017]

@@veganelduderino9392 wait, are you thinking this is made by the same guys that made Wreckfest?

[@veganelduderino9392]

@warhybrid017 nope! Never thought that , I just said , I was hoping this would of been the Wreckfest of Monster truck! In other words a great freaking game!

[@G37u73]

Does it have the Macho Man truck though? Lol thats the real question

[@CaptainCanuck1975]

This game really needed free-roam like the MJ Steel Titans games have. Added replay value, since some of the unlockable trucks in Steel Titans 2 could only be obtained in free roam.

[@Steelninja77]

He thinks dual steering is new? it was on monster Jam steel Titans as well. Everything he is calling revolutionary was in the last game 🤣🤣

[@parallaxview2143]

The Truck feels heavy...until you ping off a car. Hoping for an update for that anomaly.

[@bfaproductions7121]

The 2007 Monster Jam game had it too

[@fromfilmtocode]

Same stats and no damage for crashes. That's a shame.

[@Nick-mq9vz]

Bring on Wreckfest 2 already...

[@rerunracing]

Who the hell actually listens to music in a racing game even games like astrobot that supposedly has awesome. Music I still wish I could turn it down a bit because it gets very annoying

[@knowingbadger]

me. Music greatly enhances every game, hell I usually turn all game sound down aside the music so I can hear it more it fits for a good vibe and I get in the zone. Forza games prior to 4 had amazing soundtracks and Astrobot has probably the best soundtrack of 2024

[@rerunracing]

@@knowingbadger thats awesome I guess that proves that everyone is different in their own way I like my games to be as realistic as possible and usually in real life there's not music playing in the background I guess unless you have earbuds in

[@ChrisD72]

Steering with 2 sticks is annoying AF!! They batter have a way to combine them like monster jams steel titans does so 1 stick does all the steering front and back!!!

[@AcidBathSpaandResort-tn7km]

This game isn’t what I’d thought it was. I was hoping to play as a gay half Chinese and half black chick in a turn-based bathroom simulator. The final product is missing characters that are a more appropriate match for the modern audience. This games developer has intentionally neglected to recognize the changing demographic of gamers who demand recognition! This game is a HATE CRIME! 🎉

[@parallaxview2143]

Lol...

[@nflisrigged1395]

Wtf u smoking

[@jeffrenman4146]

The game is massively boring and don't think it's anything else… This video showed you the whole game everything in between what you missed here is just nothing just absolutely nothing. I wanted to like the game but after playing it for about two hours uninstalled and in the garbage
