My Little one hounded me for this and its sequel for a while. We have not reached 2 yet, but this one has been a heap of fun. controls lend themselves to two players sharing a single player experience. (kid on steering, parent on throttle, etc.) Feels sufficiently "Monster Truck-y" without feeling too arcade-y. Some collectables for completionists, an expanding world map with unlockable/upgradeable trucks. We are not really a racing game family, but everyone's digging it. Wife likes doing donuts. Nothing Permanently missable, as far as I can tell. We got both games and all DLC on sale, but even at full price, I wouldn't have felt burned. Ay plus! A+
