Summary

Introduction

If you are looking for a racing game that throws you behind the wheels of mini SUVs mounted on monster truck frames that are equipped with gargantuan off-road tires, then look no further than Monster Minis Extreme Off-Road. This promising indie game, coming from game developer Mindwedge, truly lives up to its claims of extreme speed, extreme hazards and extreme tracks.

The game, abbreviated to MMEOR for the purpose of this review, comes with a bevy of beautiful customizable monster minis, 90 racetracks that take place across 18 cool looking themes, three difficulty levels, and interesting explosive hazards that will launch you straight up into the sky. Powered by GarageGames' Torque Game Engine (based off the Tribes 2 game from Dynamix), MMEOR dispenses away with any backstory and just lays on the action - the kind that is fast and furious.
