Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 Download PC

The other side of Steel Titans 2 is its wild and over-the-top open world maps and its “World Career”, which is themed around curated sets of Monster Jam trucks. The Monster Mutt trucks, for instance, get a massive fantasy dog park filled with giant kennels and a race track shaped like a giant bone, and the spooky trucks get a gothic, Halloween-inspired environment filled with pumpkins, graveyards, and shipwrecks. 

It’s a cute touch that definitely embraces the silly personas spray-painted all over these well-known Monster Jam trucks, but it does make it feel like Steel Titans 2 is trying to have one foot in the real world and the other in a methanol-huffing fever dream – particularly since the World Career mode is padded out with plenty of repeats of arena and stadium events.

Steel Titans 2 is bright and saturated, but the flickering shadows are awful and stuff like the clipping, the total lack of a watersplash effect, and spelling errors in the menus makes it all feel pretty half-hearted. Truck detail is decent, but developer Rainbow Studios has made the peculiar decision to completely bury Monster Jam’s most iconic trucks as distant unlocks. 

This means that by the time you secure trucks like Grave Digger and Megalodon, Steel Titans 2 has long run out of things to show you. That they’re not even available in quick play feels like a snub to particularly young kids who probably just want to freely hoon around in their favourites without jumping through 75 hoops to do so.

Rainbow Studios has been responsible for some top-notch, mudslinging racers over the years, but Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 isn’t one of them. The racing is serviceable enough and the themed worlds are a cute idea, but its bland and poorly presented, chore-like approach to its career content turns one of the most grin-inducing spectacles in motorsport into a remarkably dull experience.
