Bigfoot Collision Course
SCORE: 70
Bigfoot Collision Course sounds great on paper. Take some Monster
Trucks (editor: like Bigfoot), throw in some race tracks, and you should
have any instant classic right? Well the WMG is realizing that there
needs to be a lot more to make an instant classic. There are also some
things that look great on paper, but do not live up to the hype in
reality. No worries friends, and family because stick with this review
to comprehend where the WMG is going in this review.
Bigfoot Collision Course includes some great pictures of Monster Trucks,
and it got the WMG excited about going to a Truck Rally. Then the game
level started, and the details dropped drastically. The camera was
generally good, with a few exceptions. Bigfoot Collision Course has some
issues with the camera jerking when certain objects (like walls) are
bumped into. The WMG also found a way to almost continually rotating the
vehicle around on its side to back. In fact getting back to the proper
horizontal/vertical combination took a few seconds.
The music in Bigfoot Collision Course for the Wii is okay. There is
nothing earth shatteringly exciting about the music, nor is there
anything irritating about it either. The special effect sounds are on
the disappointing side for the WMG. The engine revving is pretty much
the same, and there is little reason to slow down on any tracks. The
collision sounds are good, especially if you are into Monster Trucks.
The WMG is not that impressed with the extras section of Bigfoot Collision Course. There are trucks and tracks to unlock, but beating one race can net quite a few new vehicles. The reasons to replay drops when these vehicles make easy races even easier. Bigfoot Collision Course is a bargain bin priced title, so there will be some that find this game worth the money. The WMG feels there are better games for twenty bucks though.
Bigfoot Collision Course has some gameplay issues. The ability to
easily get messed up on some tracks led to a lot of frustration for this
reviewer. The race tracks are pretty standard, but ice feels no
different from dirt, or mud. The races are also extremely easy, and
Bigfoot Collision Course can be beaten in one sitting by most gamers.
Jumping, and smashing cars (editor: or other objects) is not a lot of
fun either.
When it comes to moral, and ethical lessons Bigfoot Collision Course
teaches concentration, and staying within the boundaries set. Destroying
everything in your path is also a lesson some will come away with.
Monster Truck games need to go to the core of what makes fans come to
the Monster Truck shows. The race tracks found in this game are not what
most people look for in a rally. A sequel could be made if the core of
the sport is focused on.
