You can alter your favorite truck's appearance by messing with its paint scheme or spending cash to increase its metal-crunching abilities, but for the most part, it's straight-up racing. Standard modes like single race, championship circuits and four-player versus matches are on deck as well, so much like GT Pro Series, this one's meant to get the job done with none o' that fussin'.
There are three minigames to roll with too. We tried the soccer minigame, which plopped two giant trucks inside a massive field. The mode's exactly what you think it is - try to score goals by driving the ball into the net. It's certainly not easy, weaving a monster truck around a bouncing ball, but as a head-to-head minigame, there's definitely some mindless fun to be had.
Monster's set for launch along with Wii on November 19, rounding out your racing options quite nicely. As long as you can deal with the bland visuals and basic setup, you can easily tear up some time with friends.
