For the XBox 360

Ok, so we realize the banner image has absolutely nothing to do with Activision's Monster Truck Jam '07, but in searching the net for suitable game images and finding none, we put "Monster Jam '07" into Google image search and that image came up. Neon and I discussed it and given the demographic that plays this game, we liked that image better anyway. Enjoy!! -The Skull

Gameplay Tips

 

Turbo- I find the use of turbo is best used on straight-aways and boosting around corners. Using it over jumps or going through obstacles will usually mess you up more than help you out. Sometimes a nice clean driving race is all you need.

Freestyle events- I have found that as long as you use all obstacles and last the whole time you will max those 2 sections out. The way I seem to have best luck getting 1st in all freestyle events is getting 2 good combos and smashing all objects and using all jumps/ramps. I start off going to the closest smashable object and do a donut right before it (is stops at 1031) and combo that into the smashable object and just keep the combo going by hitting a pile of cars, ramp, crates, whatever you can to keep it going. I get two good combos a round, smash as much stuff as you can and try to hit all ramps/jumps/smashable. If you do that, you’ll usually get 1st. (except the final series on PRO, those are harder to get lol) My first combo usually is like 15-20x with a score of around 1500-2000. So 2000 x 15 is good points. :D

Races- A lot of the races have short cuts in them, USE THEM. Once you get in first, smash stuff (don’t use turbo, it messes you up more than helps you) to slow the trucks behind you down. Then you can just worry about getting first place and using turbo on clean straight-aways.

Stunt points- I found the best thing to do is get 1st place in each event first, then go back and try to get a higher total stunt score.  I found the best series to build your points is the Midwest series. I had 78,157 -  73,944 - 112,655 - 65,110 - 52,805. Just keep your combo going as long as you can, hit trees, jumps, poles, crates, and objects, anything you can to keep it going. When you redo an event, it will get you the difference of the score. So if you did it the first time and got 10,000 and then the second time you get 18,000, they will add 8,000 points to your total.

Normal or Pro- You can switch back and forth as you please. You race positions, points, and trucks unlocked will be saved. I had 1st in every normal event except for 1 freestyle event. I went and did most of the Pro and then came back to normal and got 1st in the last one I needed 1st in for that
achievement.
