I purchased this for my 5 year old who absolutely loves MJST. MJST2 offers alot more, in fact I believe its alittle too much. My son often got frustrated with the menus, the AI (AI seems to be smarter on straight tracks and pretty dumb on curvy tracks), complicated steering controls, and it takes too long to change trucks when in the open world when compared to MJST. Granted he is a child, and I am helping him unlock the trucks right now. My dislikes.... Menu layout is frustrating at times, No fast travel that I can find in the open world, independent steering controls for front and back wheels makes it complicated at first, and the AI is clunky. I expected this to be Casual Fun like MJST is in open world. So maybe that was my error in expecting it to be just that. My likes.... I honestly had no intent on playing this game but with my son being so frustrated over it. I decided to try and unlock all the trucks for him. To my surprise I actually do enjoy it. The game runs alot smoother than MJST. Most of the Monster trucks are fun to play around with. Overall it is a fun challenge and alot of WOW moments when finding Monster Truck specials in the open world. Bottom line, 1-Dont expect it to be like MJST. 2- It aint perfect and probably over complicated for younger kids. 3- Runs Smoother than MJST. 4- Not worth full price, wait for a good sale and have fun!
I played this game on playstation with my nephew long ago and loved it. This is bringing back many memories. Its well worth the $10 price tag. Just hearing the town music... oh yea im addicted again.
I love MOO1 and 2... however keep in mind that if you try to use the shift key to type in the cheats in MOO1 it may not work. Not sure exactly why. Seems to affect certain computers. Probably a keyboard thing, cause we didn't have multi-media keyboards back then.
