Pick a monster truck and wreck the city—crush buildings, flip off ramps, and out-bash rival trucks in chaotic urban demolition derbies. The physics feel chunky at first, but nailing a mid-air barrel roll over a collapsing skyscraper? Pure monster truck magic.

Game Overview

Monster Jam: Urban Assault was a 2008 Nintendo DS release from Activision, part of a wave of licensed vehicle games that tried to capture the spectacle of live motorsports on the handheld. It arrived during a period where the DS library was incredibly diverse, offering everything from deep RPGs to quick arcade-style experiences like this one.

You control a selection of official Monster Jam trucks, driving through destructible city environments with the goal of winning races or causing the most property damage in freestyle events. The game relies on physics based stunts, like pulling off backflips and wheelies for points, and features a combat element where you can ram and disable opponent trucks. The pacing is fast and the controls can be unforgiving, demanding precision to land big tricks without crashing. It feels like controlling a powerful, unwieldy machine that is as likely to tumble as it is to triumph.
