Overview

Monster Jam: Crush It! features a massive variety of game modes with online and offline leaderboards and a colossal emphasis on stadium events, big stunts and destruction.

There are 24 fully licensed and playable trucks to choose from in Monster Jam: Crush It!, including real-life legends like Grave Digger, Monster Mutt, Blue Thunder and ZombieTM. The game captures a cinematic, live-event feel across six genuine Monster Jam arenas.
