Activision Announces Monster Jam
2011
Explosive Monster Truck action
comes to life this fall in the release of Activision’s Monster Jam 2011 video
game
Activision Publishing, Inc. and Feld
Motor Sports today announced Monster Jam 2011 for the Wii, Nintendo DS, the Xbox
360, PlayStation 3 and PSP. The Monster Jam 2011 video game promises to be the
ultimate monster truck experience complete with unprecedented realism,
customization, truck handling and all-out destruction. The game is scheduled for
release in Fall 2010.
Monster Jam, the world’s largest and
most popular monster truck touring property, remains the leader in
family-friendly live motor sports entertainment, selling more than 4 million
tickets at 325 performances worldwide in 2009. With the feverishly anticipated
Monster Jam World Finals coming this weekend to Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas,
NV, the 2010 Monster Jam tour is on pace to be another recording-setting year
for the brand.
“Monster Jam fans spoke to us loud
and clear – they want to compete in stadium events that feel like the real thing
and control monster trucks that handle like the real thing,” said David Oxford
at Activision Publishing. “We can’t wait to let them either create their own
trucks, or drive one of the 30 authentic trucks from Monster Jam then destroy
everything in sight, just like their favorite drivers.”
Monster Jam 2011 is all about
authenticity, personality, and fun, with 30 officially licensed Monster Jam
trucks, including fan-favorites Grave Digger, Maximum Destruction, and Grinder.
Players can also create and customize their own trucks with thousands of
options, unlocking new parts and upgrades as they progress through the game.
Eight real life stadiums from the
Monster Jam circuit help bring the live atmosphere to the living room like never
before, with explosive truck introductions, pyrotechnics and lighting, and a
roaring crowd. In single player mode the goal is the same as for real life
drivers – rise through the ranks of ruthless competitors to ultimately battle
against the best at the Monster Jam World Finals! Head-to-head multiplayer modes
take the heart-pounding competition to another level.
“Activision has been a fantastic
partner of ours for many years now, and this year they have outdone themselves,”
said Charlie Mancuso, President of Feld Motor Sports “Monster Jam 2011 will be
the ultimate monster truck video game, our fans are going to flip when they get
their hands on it!”
