Contents. Monster Truck Madness 2 received favorable reviews, while Monster Truck Madness 64 received "mixed" reviews, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Fifteen issues later, however, Doug Trueman of the same magazine (now labeled NextGen) said of Monster Truck Madness 64: "If you want intense off-road racing, play EA's Beetle Adventure Racing instead and run this title over with your car".[27] Adam Roff of Hyper gave the latter 68%, calling it "a lack-lustre conversion of what was a decent PC title. It isn't racing and it isn't wrestling and it isn't fun".[33] Scott Alan Marriott of AllGame gave the same console version two-and-a-half stars out of five, saying: "Monster Truck Madness offers almost everything you'd expect from an Arcade racer except for tight control; the developers decided to make these trucks extremely hard to keep on the road, which ultimately destroys the atmosphere of the game".
