The idea behind this game is fun, and delivers it without reservation. The original Monster Truck Madness was an extremely entertaining game, and the sequel ups the ante in many ways. The game features 20 different trucks and 14 tracks, three of which are reserved for multiplayer only. The trucks range from models of authentic Monster Trucks like Bigfoot, Grave Digger, and Boogie Van, to trucks based on professional wrestling licensed names and imagery. While the wrestling license idea is strange, it is silly and entertaining.
Tracks cover all bases, including canyon, desert, even jungle.
You may race on a tropical island, junkyard, and a graveyard for an eerie effect. Weather conditions are alterable, and have a profound effect on your race. The terrain models are excellent, and the new Photex 2 engine developed by Terminal Reality is a wonder to behold, especially under benefit of hardware acceleration. The trucks kick up dust, water, and mud, lens flares flash across your view area, and tire tracks remain in your wake. One of the more interesting engine features is the way the horizon is drawn.
