Use of real monster trucks edit

Some of the trucks in the game are based on real-life monster trucks, such as Flame (based on WCW Nitro (truck)), Wrench (based on Wrenchead.com), and Doom (based on The Outsiders). Other trucks in the game include Pro (which is not a monster truck, but a Toyota Tundra baja truck), Midnight (which has a Chevy Astro body), By-4 (which has a Toyota Land Cruiser body) Crush (which has a custom Rhino body), and Dumper (which has a Dump Truck body).

Reception edit

The game received overwhelmingly negative reviews.[citation needed] IGN gave it a 1.0 for bad graphics, presentation, sound and gameplay.[3]
