Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 Reviews
Rainbow Studios has been behind some great racers over the years, but Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 isn't one of them.
Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 may not be the prettiest, and the handling can be a pain, but there's plenty to unlock and more than enough events to get stuck into.
Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is yet another game in the genre that will be forgotten. Rainbow Studios has been one of the most prolific in mud-based racing games for a long time. They have crafted some of the best off-road endeavors I have ever played. This is sadly not one of them. It feels like a second thought as far as execution goes. Like they had a license and a chance to make a sequel and just pumped it out with little fanfare. I wanted to love it, but sadly it will be relegated to just a memory in a few weeks’ time.
Monster Jam Steel Series 2 is back with this new game that improves on its predecessor in every way. More vehicles more competitions and a lot more fun thanks to the long-awaited arrival of multiplayer mode.

Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 almost gets there but it’s just not consistently fun enough to warrant ongoing play. The open worlds are large and some of them are well designed, but there just isn’t really anything to do other than drive around. The races themselves are too much of a mixed bag, mixing some exciting races with other tracks that would better suit a Rally Car rather than a Monster Truck.
Monster Jam: Steel Titans 2 is at its best when it embraces the arcadeyness, depth, and lightheartedness that define its most exciting moments, though it sometimes punishes the very ambition behind those aspects.
I think the main problem with Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 as a whole, is it doesn't know what it wants to be. It gets stuck somewhere in between wanting to be an arcade style racer, and a Monster Truck Sim, and because of this, it fails in both categories, and leaves no one happy. Skip this one.
I would consider Monster Jams: Steel Titans 2 an improvement over the first iteration, but I don’t believe it’s a large enough improvement to match what people were hoping for in the lead up to release.
It’s certainly not for everybody, but those who are keen on driving four-wheeled monstrosities in open environments and flinging them around stadiums will be in their element with Monster Jam Steel Titans 2. It doesn’t really excel in any area, but it is one of the best attempts at bringing the joy of driving monster trucks to the video game world regardless. A nice variety of events and activities are on offer, and it boasts what is perhaps the largest number of Monster Jam vehicles to get behind the wheel of yet. It’s by no means essential, but if you’re after a racing game that’s a little bit different, you can do a lot worse.
Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is an over-the-top playground for those who love all things monster trucks. In addition to the comical trucks that many will recognise from the real-life Monster Jam events, Rainbow Studio has also done a fabulous job of creating the worlds that are inspired by the various teams. There's the well-designed Mutt-map that best reflects the comical sights of the Mutt vehicles, to the haunted Graveyard that left a lot to be desired from a racing perspective. As is the case with monster trucks, there are a few bumps and hits that can often mar the experience and put a dampener on things - but for the most part, this title is a few hours of fun for the monster truck enthusiasts who just want to escape into this virtual playground of destructive carnage and mayhem!
Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is an alright game, but lack of customisation options and a lot of repetitive animations, music and levels make it get boring very quick. It doesn't make you want to come back for more.
Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 could have been a better game if the developers spent more time and resources on its visuals; but it can still entertain the fans of the monster trucks.

I should say that Rainbow Studios has not done its best with Monster Jam Steel Titans 2. It is not really a big achievement compared to the previous version. However, driving looks better than before and the design of the environments is attractive. The design of the monster trucks is remarkable too.Technical issues, bugs, poor lightning, bad water physics, etc destroys the charm of Monster Jam Steel Titans 2. Maybe this game is only suitable for fans of monster trucks and those who have not experienced the previous version.

More Trucks in sterile installment Monster Jam: Steel Titans. It is so boring and chippy.

It is only a small improvement compared to the first Monster Jam Steel Titans and even with a more modest price tag and online multiplayer, it is hard to recommend for someone. Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is way too arcade for the fans of the sport and offers very little to anyone else.
There's nothing quite like the monster truck game to change up the general play style of the typical racer...
Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is the 9th game in the Monster Jam gaming series which first began in 2002 and was released for Game Boy Advance, PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox. This game is the sequel to the 2019 Monster Jam Steel Titans. The Monster Jam series is a gaming series based on live monster truck events where the main attraction is monster truck racing and freestyle events. Over the years, the series has changed developers and publishers a few times; from Ubisoft to Activision, Game Mill Entertainment, and now today into the hands of THQ Nordic. How does new entry fare? Does it get first or last place? Let’s find out!
On paper, Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 simply could not fail. After all, it has everything that should make a game great – huge and distinct looking trucks, quite a few game modes, and non-stop action. Sadly, it also has a forgettable career, and an incredibly irritating driving model.

Though motor sports games aren’t considered a niche market, the Monster Truck element is. You really have to do something special to convince non-believers to get on the bandwagon, and I don’t think Rainbow Studios has done enough. It’s a fun game that will keep you interested because of its in-depth career mode. But I don’t believe there is enough of a draw to pull in the masses. If you are looking for something different, or you love the sport, I recommend it. If you are on the fence, it’s worth a play, but maybe wait for it to go on sale. Interested gamers can buy it here! Jump in your truck, explore the world, and compete in events. Get your friends involved and cause some mayhem.
