Monster Garage (Microsoft Xbox, 2004)

Product Specs

Description

Based on the contemporary Discovery Channel program, this port of Invictus' 2004 home computer version of Monster Garage presents players with 3,000 (virtual) dollars and a week (of game time), then challenges them to tear down a stock vehicle and build it back up with customized features that meet specific conditions. As in the television show, each challenge is different -- players may be building a large fire truck in one mission and a zippy swamp buggy in the next. Consistent in all missions is an open-ended format, designed to encourage competitors to solve problems creatively and meet challenge conditions with style. The game features a total of seven Monster Garage challenges, each allowing just seven in-game days for completion. On the first day of a mission, player's learn of the conditions their customized vehicle must meet and make basic design decisions. The next five days are spent ordering components from a catalog, crafting custom parts, and putting them all together. On the seventh day, players have a chance to add decals and a fresh paint job before they send their Monster vehicle out to the test course. If the vehicle meets all the required conditions a new mission is unlocked, until all seven challenges have been met.
