Monster Jam: Path of Destruction is a video game that was released on November 9, 2010 by Activision. The game was released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, Playstation Portable, and Wii. The game also gives the player the feature to create their own truck. For the first time, stadiums have a boss truck, that can be unlocked by winning the events featured at that stadium. Also for the first time, highlight videos for each boss (except Monster Mutt) truck were uploaded to YouTube.
Career: Compete in events and unlock trucks, stadiums, and power-ups. The player starts with three trucks: Air Force Afterburner, Avenger, and Monster Mutt Dalmatian.
Multiplayer: Once the player has unlocked one truck, they can play 2-person split-screen. Only freestyle, stadium racing, team race, stadium race, and circuit race are available.
Championship Mode: The difficulty is increased, and more rounds are added in Stadium Racing. Compete against 16 other trucks. Three of these are available- East, West, and World Finals.
Event types[]
The game features 7 event types:
Freestyle: The player has 90 seconds plus bonus time (only awarded if they haven't rolled over in the first 90 seconds or if they haven't respawned). The player is also judged with 3 other trucks.
Stadium Racing: Stadium racing on P.O.D. is very different from the other two games released by Activision (Urban Assault and Monster Jam: The Video Game), as it puts the player into a bracket system. They race through round 1, the semi-finals, and the championship round.
Stunt Challenge: Learn different moves from monster truck drivers.
Circuit Race: A rally-style track that takes the player inside and outside of the stadiums featured in the game.
Team Race: Similar to Circuit Race, however, the players are put into 2-truck teams.
Time Crunch: Similar to Circuit Race, however, the player has to smash into Monster Jam logos to add more time. If time runs out before they finish, they lose.
Gate Rush: Collect gates around a freestyle track to extend the time.
