Monster Jam Steel Titans 2

SCORE: 64

I am very thankful I had the money to purchase Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 on the Playstation 4. I remember the first game had some issues. I finally got around to playing Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 and quickly remembered what those issues are. There is a small area to move around in, not much replay value, and poor controls. I could literally and easily flip my monster trucks on tiny little hills. I spent so much time on my side in Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 that I started to think that is how this game is meant to be played. We can reset in a few seconds which is very handy when we are in a race.

To be fair the computer controlled vehicles would also end up on their sides or roofs in Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 as well. Which tells me there is a major physics problem in this monster truck racing video game. There are also trick and destruction levels within Monster Jam Steel Titans 2. Ultimately there is not a lot to do in Monster Jam Steel Titans 2. Many of the “open world” races are designed poorly. For example run back and forth in an enclosed gated area. Lots of collisions in that section.

The ESRB was not capable of finding any words to describe the violent content within Monster Jam Steel Titans 2. We smash into vehicles with other vehicles. Pieces of the vehicles fall off and stay on the ground from these collisions. We destroy trees, tables, boxes, balloons, and more in Monster Jam Steel Titans 2. How does that not warrant at least a comic mischief, or cartoon violence content descriptor? Could the five of you left that actually still respect the ESRB please explain that to me?

I learned that I would lose early and often even on the easiest difficulty setting in Monster Jam Steel Titans 2. Then as my truck leveled up and I found the right path through the rugged terrain I was able to rack up some victories. There was always the concern that one little bump or jolt would send my massive vehicle onto its side. I lost so many times thanks to those things.

I hope you were able to catch the live stream I performed of Monster Jam Steel Titans 2. It really shows off the issues I have described in this review over and over again. I am not sure how I did some of those tricks in Monster Jam Steel Titans 2. I am just glad I was able to perform them.
