Gameplay

Players compete in Monster Jam events in arcade-style racing gameplay. Players can adjust the difficulty and degree of reality desired. Forty licensed monster trucks are available in the base game, some of which need to be unlocked. An additional 26 trucks are available through downloadable content.

Players can also unlock power-ups for their vehicle that help perform tricks. It is playable both single-player and multiplayer, through split screen or the internet.

Reception

Monster Jam Showdown received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN called it "a great looking, family-friendly racer", though they said it could use more depth and variety. Push Square praised the gameplay and variety of trucks, but they said it was formulaic. GamingBolt said they "really wanted to love" Showdown, but they felt found the campaign "dreadfully underwhelming", disliked how similarly the trucks played, and found the music generic. They still enjoyed the driving physics, though.
