FORGET MONSTER TRUCK MADDNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Posted on 2003-08-07]
Monster Truck Rumble is the most realistic Monster Truck Sim I've ever seen. It has awesome graphics, not to mention two-player competition. It is just like real; stuff falls down when you hit it, and there is very realistic damage. It is even better than Monster Truck Maddness because it has many more modes of play, plus, you get to drive in real-life places from Wyoming to THE GRAND CANYON! You even get 4X4 steering where you steer your back wheels too! Now you can't get any of that from Monster Truck Maddness, can you? NO! So just BUY MONSTER TRUCK RUMBLE!!!!!

Not Enough To Keep You Playing [Posted on 2007-02-05]
The other reviewer here claims this game is better then Monster Truck Madness. I have to disagree, MTM was fun, it might not have been the most realistic game, but it was fun. this game isn't that much fun, first off, there is not enough trucks or tracks to choose from, 6 trucks that I've never heard of and each one of them is pretty much the same. It's not that the graphics aren't nice or the controls are hard, no, the game has some decent graphics and it's quite easy to control, but it just doesn't have the fun factor.

But as for realism? ummm, no. First off, if you flipped a monster truck, or any vehicle in real life, you wont be turned back over and be on your way again with a deduction of 3 seconds to your time... no, you'd probably be seeking medical attention and the truck would probably be a write off, especially if it dove off a cliff into the Grand Canyon.

The trucks themselves seem too unrealistic, the tires kind of look pixelated and the truck looks too smooth to match it. Going over cars is not really any fun, there all the same, 3 cars parked together and you don't leap into the air when you hit one, you just go through them as they shake you around and crash away. There are chickens and cows and a few things to run over, but the chickens don't squish and the cows seem more like the cars, they should go splat or do something other then look like they laid down for a nap.

I can't say the sound is very good, the sound of the trucks engines is a bit annoying, the music is next to none, and sound effects are decent when you get to one but the sound of the wheels on the ground where annoying after 10 minutes.

Realism? No I don't think so, realism would be trucks that bounce of cars and shoot upwards, one go at keeping all four wheels on the ground, a truck that doesn't run after you drain the 100% meter to 0% (whatever thats for in the game) re-fueling, tyre changes, pit stops, broken windscreens, dead animals, crushed cars, whiplash... i could go on and on... this is definitely not "realistic"

I couldn't even find any cheats for this game. I was hoping for something to speed up the driving cause it just seems so slow for a truck supposedly doing 100 miles an hour.

I got this out of a cheapie bin, it might be ok if you want a monster truck game, i'd recommend monster truck madness over this, I'm not saying don't play it, you might like it allot more then I did, but in my honest opinion, once you've beaten all the stages which is very easy to do, it has no replay value. I've had it for one day and already uninstalled it and left it to collect dust.
