Career mode broadly consists of the same set of events for you to play through multiple times, just with the order mixed up. This is most noticeable in races, and the amount of different courses found in Monster Truck Championship is in single figures, so it starts to get repetitive fairly quickly. However, before long you’ll start to encounter the same events within the same league.

Ultimately, your main career aim is to be crowned the Monster Truck Champion, and to do this you’ll need to beat several series of events to qualify for the finals in each of the three leagues. It’s really best only to use them in an emergency. You do have six resets to use if you get stuck (as in other modes), however these put you behind the pack even more. However, it only takes one badly judged collision with another truck to put you out of the running in a race, so evasion is sometimes the best tactic. It is something you’ll want to keep an eye on.Īt the start of each race, you’ll also get the chance to execute a “perfect start” by revving just the right amount as the race starts, giving you an advantage off the line. That’s where the diagram in the bottom left corner of the screen comes into play, showing the condition of each of your truck’s key components.

However, you can go one step further than this, meaning your truck will take real damage during races which will affect its performance, and cost you money to repair. Damage to vehicles can be toggled on or off, however it’s much more fun seeing pieces of your truck litter the track as you collide with rival racers. The first is your standard lap racing, but it will take a little while to get used to your truck’s handling before you go winning these. There are four types of events in Monster Truck Championship which make up the Career Mode: Race, Drag Race, Freestyle and Destruction.
