![]() ![]() Review copy provided by the publisher for this review.Okay, I’m going to look a little old here, but back when I was a kid I spent a lot of time playing the original Bigfoot game on NES. *Monster Truck Championship is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. If you’ve yet to play it though there aren’t a lot of better options on the market when it comes to Monster Truck racing. There is no free upgrade so prior owners likely won’t be compelled by the minor upgrades to pay full price for this again and the lack of DualSense support is also disappointing. It’s still got a solid career mode and a lot of ways to customize your trucks but there are downsides here. With all that said, Monster Truck Championship on PlayStation 5 looks, performs, and loads faster and better than ever. This is very disappointing as games like Dirt 5, WRC 9, Monster Energy Supercross 4, and others are all making use of them and so it really makes this version of Monster Truck Championship feel less next-gen. There is no haptic feedback outside of the vibration that was already in the PlayStation 4 version and there is no adaptive trigger support. Sadly, what PlayStation 5 feature the game doesn’t take advantage of is the DualSense controller. Load times are another area that was improved with the PlayStation 5 now powering through them in a couple seconds. ![]() This same detail increase applies to the tracks as well and the framerate now running at 60 frames per second means you’ll be able to appreciate all of it in smoother fashion. It is better than what it was though as the 4K visuals help to make the trucks look a lot better than what they did. While work has been done by the team to make it look better Monster Truck Championship on the PlayStation 5 still isn’t as impressive as racers like Forza, Gran Turismo, Dirt 5, and some other titles released over the past few years. When I reviewed this game last year one of my major faults with it was that it just didn’t look impressive visually compared to a lot of other racing games that I had played over the past few years. If you’ve yet to buy this game then this version will undoubtedly be the best version to buy. I’ll get into the technical improvements as we go but I’ll just say they aren’t enough for me to recommend this to prior buyers. Something I’ll clarify right away is that there is no free upgrade if you owned this game on PlayStation 4 already and so that means it probably won’t be worth it to you to pay full price again for this upgraded version. If you want my full thoughts on the game you can read my original review here and to find out how the game has been improved on the PlayStation 5 continue reading below.įirst off in terms of content Monster Truck Championship is exactly the same on PlayStation 5 as it was on PlayStation 4. Now six months later the team has gone in and done some more work to bring the game over to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. While I thought the game had quite a lot to do in it, I came away a little frustrated with the controls and feeling like it wasn’t that impressive visually. Last October I reviewed publisher Nacon and developer Teyon’s Monster Truck Championship game on PlayStation 4 and came away thinking it was good but not great.
