Admittedly, though the game's strengths lie within the actual race, it still could use a bit of polish. The slower pace and somewhat mushy controls are intended to give the trucks a sense of weight, but that's much of the intended challenge: to make players focus on their vehicle's bouncing and sliding, because one goof-up can cause a loss in the race. This racer more emphasizes the technical aspect of off-road racing, with the vehicles launching off jumps and bumps, and the player having to deal with a truck that has a habit of getting a little goofy due to the little whoopty-doos in the course. The trucks rarely crack 65 MPH in the race, so you're not going to get an adrenaline rush watching the scenery whoosh by. The game itself isn't going to knock your socks off with a sense of speed, mostly because that's not the game's aim. But overall, the game moves smooth and enables the developers to create some realistically flowing terrain that works well for an off-road racing game. There are some downsides, like the side effect of the landscape being drawn in a few hundred feet ahead of the player. But it's still a cool way to create outdoor mountain effects on systems with not a lot of performance under the hood, and here on the Nintendo DS the visuals come off pretty darn nice.

A "voxel" is a programming technique of putting height data on individual pixels, popularized on the PC until powerful 3D hardware made the technology unnecessary and, ultimately obsolete. The core of Monster Trucks DS is its engine that combines 3D elements with solid, smooth, and very competent voxel graphics. Majesco's racing design, a product of Shockwave-centric development studio Skyworks Technology, is a much better tech demo than it is a full-fledged game production. What better way to honor a recycled game than with a recycled review. Since the games are virtually identical, we'll reproduce our review of ATV Quad Frenzy and alter it where applicable for Monster Trucks DS.
