One question: who the blimmin' norah is this Ironman chap? I mean, what's the point is someone endorsing a game when the punters have never even heard of him? Next thing they'll be having Reg "Gout" Gruett's Daring Dominos.

Anyway, this is a multi-player racing game set in those monster trucks which you only ever get to see on Sky TV. The tracks consists of lots of nobbly ramps and water hazards, and you've got to get around in one piece - and preferably in first place. If you don't do so well, you can buy lots of extras to help you out at the end of a race. Acceleration, shocks, tyres and nitrous oxide are all up for grabs.

The control method is far from perfect. It's all too easy to oversteer and find yourself screaming round the track in completely the wrong direction. What's more, the computer vehicles become extremely difficult to beat after only a couple of circuits. A nice game ruined by grotty control.
