Activision today announced the upcoming release of Monster Jam: Urban Assault. The monster truck title will let players tear up the streets or enter stadium competitions like racing and freestyle. Monster Jam: Urban Assault will have popular monster trucks such as Grave Digger, El Toro Loco or Stone Crusher.

"Last year's launch of the Activision produced Monster Jam, which was the first Monster Jam branded video game at retail in over five years, exceeded our expectations in terms of both gameplay and positive fan response," Charlie Mancuso, President of Live Nation Motor Sports. "But Monster Jam fans and gamers are not easily satisfied. For the sequel, we agreed with Activision that we had only one choice: throw the rules out the window and go for total destruction outside the normal Monster Jam environments!"

"What would Monster Jam fans do if they could unleash the raw power of the world's biggest and baddest monster trucks in an urban setting, however they liked? Monster Jam: Urban Assault is our attempt to answer this question," said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. "We are confident Monster Jam fans and all gamers will enjoy doing things like crushing a NYC cab or smashing through one of London's famous double-decker buses."

Monster Jam: Urban Assault will release on PS2, PSP, DS and Wii in Fall 2008.
