Like the original Monster Truck Madness, the sequel has three different modes of gameplay. But lets face it, if your looking for a racing game with all sorts of different adjustments and tweaks for vehicles, then you probably wouldn't be looking at MTM2 in the first place. Trucks have a very MINIMAL amount of possible adjustments: acceleration, tire cut, and suspension. MTM2 incorporates very simple controls: gas, brake, turn, and shift gears. Improvements include awesome, fast-paced CD tracks to get those racin' juices flowin', and mic support (during the race, players have the ability to yell profanities at their opponents).Īnother aspect of the game almost exactly like the original is the gameplay. The overall sounds of the game remained relatively the same as its predecessor. The appearance of MTM2 is a definite plus. The maps are somewhat complex and textures look damn good. cars, trucks, road signs etc., have a descent polygon count and a good appearance. Overall, objects throughout the game, i.e.

Again, this will only be experienced by those with some sort of acceleration, everyone else running in software mode will be severely handicapped. Those with D3D support (I was running on a Voodoo board) will experience personal heavens such as rain, snow, fog, awesome lighting effects, skid trails, lens flare, amazing water effects, and particles (the actual list is much longer, these are just the ones that caught my attention). Microsoft did a major overhaul on the 3D engine, throwing in handfuls of nice goodies that please the eye. Graphically, the game looks, as put by our slang-impaired writer Mark Cooke, "booty-kickin". Let make it simple: all who liked the original MTM should grab a copy of MTM2 all who didn't (for gameplay reasons) should look at something else and all those undecided.
Like most sequels in the gaming world, MTM2 improves on its original graphics, sound, and single and multi player support. Those who appreciated the original Monster Truck Madness will definitely dig the sequel. hell, the trucks don't even go that fast, but guess what: the game is fun.
The game isn't all that realistic, the cars don't have many different features or additions. Point and case: Microsoft's Monster Truck Madness II, the sequel to popular Monster Truck Madness. In spite of popular belief, racing games DON'T always need to be too realistic, or have lots of depth, or have neat little features.
Racing games need to have realism, right? Racing games need to have depth, right? They need to have all kinds of neat features and add-ons for different vehicles, right? Cars need to go FAST, right? Umm, well, actually NO. Put your rig driving skills to the ultimate test where a heartbeat can mean the difference between the glorious victory or the agony of defeat in this latest installment of car smashing mayhem from Microsoft. If that's not enough for you, get online for some good old fashioned multiplayer fun. Race across 11 new tracks, smashing and crashing everything in your way. This sequel features 11 original trucks from the original release in addition to nine new bone-crushing vehicles that include Executioner, Firestone Wilderness, Snake Bite and Stinger. Pop the clutch and drop the hammer on the some of the biggest, baddest machines on four wheels in Monster Truck Madness 2.
