Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 vs Monster Jam Showdown | Gameplay Comparison

[@Aculeus20]

The new game needs stuff to smash through other than purple cardboard boxes. An RV or airplane parked on the track. Running over cars is like hitting bollards.

[@VKED23]

I don't understand why they chose to make the trucks controllable in the air, just make it so the throttle can control in air rotation just like real life and in steel titans. Very Disappointing.

[@j.stewey4793]

I'm right there with you. I feel like I've been deceived! All the promise of realistic physics, great gameplay, raceways (which you can barely tell raceways from stadiums cause it all looks the same) is non existent. Milestone has said they spoke to drivers about the feel and attended events to take notes...WHAT EVENT DID YOU ATTEND?!?!? I know damn well Blake Granger did not tell you "When I drive, it feels like there's no gravity and you float in space. Anytime I hit cars they bring me to a stop and then fling my truck in the air for quadruple flips!" I can go on and on. I've completely lost faith that monster truck fans will ever get a legitimate real feel monster truck game for consoles. The closest was Steel Titans 2 and that game gave promise that everything was headed in the right direction but this P.O.S. Just ran the promise and those hopes of monster truck fans into a concrete wall at 200mph. I don't want to hear about ROR or Beam NG cause I'm talking consoles and before anyone says they gotta make it like this cause kids like it that way, well my kids who love monster trucks as much as me hate the game and haven't touched it since they played it for just 45min Thursday. If I could get my money back from Game Stop I would.

[@scooterman3]

I kind of disagree how would we do forward momentum backflips

[@VKED23]

@scooterman3 the same way they do in real life.... they don't unless they wheelie into a jump(mad scientist front flip). These trucks are amazing with normal physics, didn't need to be tuned into gta type air controll. Completely ruins it for people who actually understand what these drivers do to manipulate these trucks, they don't just magically start rotating any direction they want.

[@g09skinnyboy]

The gravity is terrible too. Definitely very disappointing.

[@g09skinnyboy]

@@j.stewey4793I totally fucking agree, couldn’t have said it better. The trucks shouldn’t float away in space. Realistic physics my fucking ass. Big fucking disappointment. Monster trucks overdriven on roblox has better physics in air.

[@kctoastyy]

Steel titans has always looked off. They look like toys

[@c4farms802]

It looks like at any given moment, they would just capsize

[@JustinBarnett-iv6dg]

One thing i can't stand about all these monster jam games.. it's bad enough that you have to do these ridiculous circuit races in EVERY game.. and that's the worst part of EVERY monster jam game. But what makes it worse, is when you got 8 trucks on a single track, but you can't hit them or it messes YOU up.. but they can knock you all over the place.

[@worldsworstyoutube5271]

Steel Titans 2 is the better game. Showdown has more technically better graphics but the art direction is worse. The vehicles slide around everywhere and you magnetically attach to the back of another truck. The map world is poor, where as the open world of Steel Titans 2 was amazing. I much prefer the older game to this new one.

[@traxxas328]

Just another case of rainbow studios out performing milestone

[@shurikatZ06]

Steel Titans 2 was more of a downgrade than the first one

[@sasukeuchihaanbucapt]

​@@shurikatZ06 physics yes the first one is better... but graphics and gameplay steel titans 2 was the best, the first one had better physics and damage... thats it..... need to remake a old Urban Ussault or Path Of Destruction with modern graphics and everyone will be happy, all they need to do is rerender it in Unreal Engine 5 and we would have the best monster truck game ever....

[@xDaveLepakx]

I just don’t get why they don’t make a realistic game. The physics in both are absolutely abysmal and the scaling is so far off to the point where the trucks look like little toys. The fact that a mobile game (Monster Truck Destruction) has better physics, game play, and for platform intensive purposes better graphics for what you have is crazy.

[@kiozarkzero4313]

Los juegos "realista" no son divertidos

[@sasukeuchihaanbucapt]

that mobile game is based off of the ps2 games that made its name in the video game industry, games like urban assualt, and path of destruction.... aka what the mobile version is copying....

[@JVC1103]

They both fun arcade racing games but I go with Monster Jam Showdown. The base game has more events than MJST2. They both have their odd choose in handling. But MJ Showdown feels more real to me!

[@PTFrom1999]

100% agreed the way the trucks maneuver into turns too feels a lot more real and there supposed too slide out like that because they are top heavy so it is way more realistic

I honestly prefer Showdown but I do understand the complains that some may have, I really enjoy Showdown's physics but I also really liked Steel Titans 2's open world. I like both games but I like Showdown more because I always wanted a Monster Jam game that has realistic physics and Steel Titans 2 felt like a downgrade compared to the first one

Not even close, Showdown all day

[@FrenchVanillaMilitia]

Nothing against ST2, it's a great game for what it is, but it's pretty mid. It looks very low budget. It has a banger OST though (Showdown's is pretty good too it just doesn't hit as hard as ST2s). The truck models look like toys (they're likely based off of toys). The engine sounds are odd as it's a loop once you hit a certain RPM. It's very unnatural. It's also really silly with some very childish things like teleporters, boost pads, jump pads...etc etc as well as incredibly annoying passive Team effects (like the dreaded Defender repulsion field). BUT, ST2 does do a critical thing well; you can get a rather authentic MJ experience with its Arena and Stadium series. Something Showdown lacks. The physics are...decent. I like that the trucks bounce. But, there's virtually no skill ceiling; just use rear steer in every turn at full speed. You don't have to break. The NOS is bonkers and gives way too much momentum. Showdown, on the other hand, is visually extremely impressive. The trucks actually look proportionally right as Milestone took pictures of the trucks as reference. It looks like a AAA game with truly incredible lighting and shadows (running this game on Ultra in 1440 is a TREAT). The engine roar is based entirely off of your RPM and it's a pretty darn good sounding engine as well. I love that you can hear the supercharger whistle as it whines down when you get off the gas. There's actually an announcer that sounds very much like Danny McBride of all things. And the heart of the game, the physics, are *largely* really good. The trucks have an immense sense of weight to them. They understeer really badly if you go into a turn too hot. You can easily overcorrect. The trucks will oversteer out of corners if you're too aggressive with the throttle. Case in point, Showdown has a great learning curve to it. The only thing that's missing is the bouncy suspension (that's very likely a gameplay decision) Showdown also has really good tracks. The track layouts are usually bangers and I really like the multiple routes. And the more authentic MJ experience (where the game struggles a bit on) with the stadiums are pretty good too. Again, I like the racing layouts a lot albeit that they can be very technical and confusing. Freestyle is fun but it's missing mechanical damage that largely eliminates any and all fear of consequences of you going absolutely batshit. Overall, Showdown stands tall over any other MJ game, any other MT game and is overall just a really damn good racer!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts

[@HeCody]

This game is great, all things considered good, but it feels like hitting a wall every time I drive over a junk car, which makes me want to give it a negative review.

[@whatthevic]

hitting a wall lmao i agreed

[@thebrickman8550]

Definitely showdown is better graphics wise and game play is better. Titans 2 the trucks look weird and the suspension doesn't look as good

[@JVC1103]

Why MJST2 trucks look so big and the driver inside is small where MJ Showdown the trucks like close to real-life even close to MJ Path of Destruction!

[@j.stewey4793]

Gameplay is not better than Steel Titans 2! The only areas that Showdown shines in are the graphics, circuit racing, and truck roster. Other than that it fails in everway possible

[@JVC1103]

Steel titan 2 looks like fake game

[@j.stewey4793]

Steel Titans 2 is 10 times better than Showdown. Freestyle in Showdown is so weird and it's sad cause Showdown clearly has the better roster of trucks to use and the liveries are awesome but the game play sucks so badly! The fake stadiums suck and even though this game specifically says stadiums and Raceway, you can't really distinguish between the two cause it all looks the exact same. If they would have just made Steel Titans 3 with these graphics, this lineup, and added new arena, stadium, AND Speedway tracks then it would've been the best monster truck game for consoles made. Who in the hell thought that announcers voice in Showdown was a good idea?!?!? They should be fired!!! Thanks for the shitty game Milestone
