Monstrosity: Difference between revisions
The ad transcripts are still a redundant waste of space, but I can let that slide.
(Seriously, what!? I suggest doing fact-checking before revising an article.) |

The advertisement for the Monstrosity in GTA III differed in the American and European handbooks; the American advertisement uses an image of the [[Landstalker]] from GTA III as the "Monstrosity", whereas the European advertisement depicts a monster truck based on a 1999-2004 [[wikipedia:Ford Super Duty|Ford F-250]] regular cab. However, the body of the Monstrosity would likely resemble a full size SUV (with third rows of seating) rather than a pickup truck cab (whose cramped passenger space is only for convenience rather than comfort). | The advertisement for the Monstrosity in GTA III differed in the American and European handbooks; the American advertisement uses an image of the [[Landstalker]] from GTA III as the "Monstrosity", whereas the European advertisement depicts a monster truck based on a 1999-2004 [[wikipedia:Ford Super Duty|Ford F-250]] regular cab.

In addition to advertising on GTA III's game manual, the Maibatsu Monstrosity is also prominently mentioned on radio stations in the game. There are two versions of the radio ads: | |||
Man: ''"I'm a marketing manager who lives in the suburbs and commutes to work on the highway. I live alone, so of course I needed a car that can seat 12 and is equipped to drive across arctic tundra...it just makes me feel better!"

Woman: ''"Phil and I just had another kid. So of course we need a bigger SUV. Being a mom is hard, with soccer, football and lacrosse practice, so we bought the new Maibatsu Monstrosity. It's so big...we lost little Joey in the back and couldn't find him for and hour! When I'm rushing to the mall, or talking on my cell phone, I know me and my family are safe. The Maibatsu Monstrosity has 4- wheel drive, and in amphibious mode...it can cross rivers. So far I've only hit a few puddles, but it's good to know it's there. With the time I save taking shortcuts through the strip-mall parking lot I can focus on the important things. Like gazing longingly at the pool boy or...buying more exercise equipment off the TV. So what if it gets 3 miles to the gallon!? I'm a mom, not a conservationist!" '' | {{quote|<p>'''Woman:''' ''"Phil and I just had another kid. So of course we need a bigger SUV.
