Truck handling is passable but it definitely lacks the sense of weight and inertia found in Monster Truck Championship. According to the game, floating triangles unlock more trucks – but ultimately it’s just stuff on a list to tick off in a game that’s already a repetitive slog. Only Monster Mutt Poodle can open a specific hot pink barn to temporarily make a new jump available, for instance, but the jump only appears to exist as a means to collect a floating inverted triangle. You can’t “discover” a secret in the wrong truck, but even in the right truck nothing I’ve found so far has been particularly interesting. There’s also a smattering of things to go and find in these maps, but doing so has proven annoying and unrewarding. There’s the arena and stadium-based championship career, which resembles traditional, real-world Monster Jam events, and then there’s the World Career mode, which is literally just a series of exactly the same arena and stadium events but with a waypoint challenge or circuit race based in the open worlds included occasionally. Steel Titans 2 splits its action over two separate career paths, but neither of them are very interesting. After a bafflingly basic tutorial, I was suddenly and unceremoniously dumped into the first of several open-world environments, leaving me to press pause and shuffle through menus to uncover what I was actually supposed to do. The monster truck era had begun and Bigfoot would go on to become the most famous and influential monster truck in history.The lack of spark is quickly evident.
A motorsports promoter saw a videotape of the feat and asked Chandler to perform the stunt again in front of a live audience.
Chandler placed two beat-up junker cars in a field and ran them over with Bigfoot. Local promoters began paying Chandler to bring his attention-grabbing Bigfoot truck to their events, and in 1981, he invented a gimmick that would start an entertainment revolution and become the calling card of monster truck events forever. In the late 1970s, Chandler painted his nickname "Bigfoot" on the side of his modified 1974 Ford F-250, which the bigger-better-badder-obsessed truck fiend and four-wheel-drive shop owner had souped-up with outsized axles and tires.
