The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A loud, unpretentious arcade racer where you stomp through mud and smash obstacles in oversized trucks without taking anything too seriously.

About

Get ready to pilot the world's most powerful trucks and go head-to-head in pulse-pounding off-road competitions. You can pick from over 20 unstoppable Monster trucks, including Grave Digger, El Toro Loco, Bulldozer, Bounty Hunter, Blue Thunder, and Maximum Destruction. Whether you're grinding through mud pits in Louisiana, crunching up cliffs in California, or smashing up trees to make the ride a little bumpier for the guy behind you, keep your eyes on the prize: The cash you earn on the circuit goes to buy new trucks and build up your ultimate Monster machine.
