Activision Promises 'Ultimate Monster Truck Experience' with Monster Jam 2011

If you've got a PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and/or PSP, then look out--"the ultimate monster truck experience" is coming your way, according to publisher Activision.

The latest entry in the company's long-running monster truck video game series, the fall-due Monster Jam 2011 is said to include "unprecedented realism, customization, truck handling and all-out destruction."

On the "unprecedented realism" front, you've got eight real-life stadiums and thirty licensed real-world trucks including Grave Digger, Maximum Destruction and Grinder. Regarding "customization," you've got the ability to tweak your own truck with a variety of parts that are unlocked through in-game progression. As for the "all-out destruction" part, well, you're driving a monster truck. What more needs to be said, really?

"Activision has been a fantastic partner of ours for many years now, and this year they have outdone themselves," Charlie Mancuso, president of Monster Jam organizer Feld Motor Sports, said in today's announcement. "Monster Jam 2011 will be the ultimate monster truck video game, our fans are going to flip when they get their hands on it!"

      I still have Monster Truck Madness 2 laying around here somewhere. I remember long ago when I would download all the user-made tracks in existence and play for hours.
