Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 Reviews
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.
More Trucks in sterile installment Monster Jam: Steel Titans. It is so boring and chippy.

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.
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 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.
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.

Rainbow Studios has been known for some high-profile off-road titles in the past, Motocross Madness and ATV Off-Road Fury, to name drop a few, so you’d think who else would you leave an off-roading property too. Underneath the issues I had with this game, something is promising here, and it’s something I’d have confidence in Rainbow fleshing out. As I mentioned before, I enjoy the physics; the trucks feel good to drive. The worlds are cool to look at, but there’s not much of a reward for exploring. The career has good bits but is ultimately bland and is a giant slog, leaving a poor aftertaste. Maybe it’s the licensed nature of the beast here, but I’m confident Rainbow Studios can knock it out of the park. They just didn’t do it this time.
WORTH CONSIDERING - Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 improves on its predecessor and delivers an engaging arcade monster truck experience for all ages. With a solid progression system, loads of trucks (fan favorites and more to unlock), and fictional environments to toy around in, there’s plenty of truck hopping fun to be had. You’ll have to navigate some minor to moderate grievances that may potentially effect hardcore players more so than younger kids, but we’re still talking about an enjoyable Monster Jam experience here.
It’s a decent effort, one that monster truck fans alone will get the best out of. But if you’re a gamer looking for a top-rated car and racing experience, there’s better out there.
Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is less of a monster truck racing game and more a celebration of the most famous of the colossal vehicles and the bonkers things they can do. Almost every game play mode feels underdeveloped, you can wrestle with the handling and lose, and the tutorial is very poor. On the other hand, you can race around a dog bone shaped race track in a truck shaped like a shark. It’ll please its intended audience but for everyone else, there are alternatives worth exploring.
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.
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.
Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 offers a physics-based racing game with a tone closer to humor than to seriousness, unfortunately the physics of the vehicles will make us suffer a lot and we will feel that we never get to have full control. In terms of game modes and variety of circuits it falls a little short.

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.

Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is in all respects a great expansion of the first chapter, with new tracks, new stadiums and vehicles but with few differences from its predecessor. A game that remains appreciated by lovers of the genre and fans of monster trucks, and which may deserve an opportunity even given the budget price at which it’s sold since launch. We aren’t facing a masterpiece or an unmissable car game, but it’s a title that, even considering the practically non-existent competition regarding video games dedicated to these steel giants, will certainly be able to satisfy fans of this sport.

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.
If you are looking for chaotic fun and many options, Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is a great suggestion. There are many giant vehicles to use in races, to perform radical maneuvers and to explore worlds full of attractions. The technical production is not the best and the gameplay is complicated at certain times, but rest assured: they are enough to bring all the excitement of the competitions of the famous monster trucks to your favorite console.
