Monster 4×4 World Circuit preview

Tagged as the Excite Truck‘s sole closest competition, Ubisoft‘s Monster 4×4 World Circuit will also let players get behind the wheel of big-wheeled, no, monster trucks as you rev through stunt tracks located in different parts of the world. The Ubi racer will likewise let you use a steering wheel attachment developed also by Ubisoft, where you place the Wiimote inside it and then manipulate it as you would an ordinary steering wheel.

One of the problems with the whole steering wheel attachment in Monster 4×4 World Circuit is the same as the one encountered with Excite Truck: the wheel movements tend to be too sensitive so it’s hard to make precise turns and shifts. To perform tricks, quickly loop the controller (like a flip) and it’ll also give you the needed turbo boost for when you land. To use your boost, jab the controller forward in a quick manner. According to 1up, they had difficulties pulling off tricks and stunts because there were times when the motion sensor didn’t pick up on the Wiimote’s movements.

As for gameplay modes, you have the single and multiplayer modes with a bunch of mini-games that’ll be fun to play with your friends. The guys at 1up tried out the soccer mini-game where up to four cars can drive around, pushing a giant soccer ball into giant goals. The experience however was not that great as it proved to be difficult to make direct contact with the giant soccer ball, much less to actually move it towards the goal.

Other than that, the preview doesn’t cover much else, so stay tuned and keep checking back with us for more updates as we’ll definitely keep you posted for more game developments. Monster 4×4 World Circuit is scheduled for release November 17th.
