It’s not a bad game at all, not even close, but unfortunately, it’s not a very good one either, somehow managing to thread the needle between good and bad so perfectly that it is utterly cold and devoid of almost any kind of personality at all, and trying to muster any sort of energy, positive or negative, will feel nigh on impossible. In a way, I wish that was Monster Jam: Steel Titans 2. Most of the time, that’s a positive one, but every so often, we find ourselves playing a game that we know is terrible, but we just can’t stop ourselves from picking up the controller and playing ‘just a little more’. When we play games, we want the experience to illicit some kind of emotion from us. Anyone who has been around this hobby for any length of time will know exactly how it feels to come into contact with one of these games. One that offends our senses so completely and utterly and can at times have a sort of “I just need to see this car crash unfold” kind of feel to it that, for reasons you can’t quite describe, you find yourself being pulled back to again and again.

A game that is so bad that it beggars belief. When we sit down to play a game, we want to enjoy ourselves, be captivated and pulled into another world of adventure, mystery or suspense-filled drama, but there’s also something to be said for the truly awful game. Finally, the most controversial comment of the century has been written down and fired across the digital waves of the internet for us all to see. The thing we, as a society, have been slowly moving towards for a generation.
