that is true but think. they still had the rally and circuit courses. those were unrealistic. it still wasnt a simulation. it was a game. given it was close to a simulation but we're getting progressivlely closer to a true simulator game with each game they make. every monster truck game to date has had some form of unrealistic content so none of them can be called a simulation or entirely realistic. yes mtm1 did come close to a true monster jam game but it wasnt close enough.
