................Meh

This game is alright but it would then get boring after a few minutes. I was very disappointed with this game.

Great Pick-up.

If you haven't experienced Excite Truck---now is the time. First, the Graphics are not bad. They don't have as much detail as Dirt, but they're good enough for me. Second, the controls are not clunky. The trucks does what you want them to. As for audio, who cares, pop in some music downloaded on to a SD card and enjoy. After what I've just stated, there's only one drawback----the game is to easy. The levels should be a little tougher. But all in all it's a good buy.

Turbo-boosted truck smashing while driving by an erupting volcano is fun!

Excite truck is an excellent game to play. It has great graphics for a Wii release game, and the tracks are incredible. Although the game is short on playtime, I think it is fun for the couple of hours it takes to beat it. And although many say the music is crap, I like it. On a bad note, the controls can be... touchy, if you will. Air spins are hard to complete sometimes and you can find yourself running off-course because your truck doesnt turn. All in all, its a great title, but you can beat it if you rent it.

rock and trucks work so good

Excite Truck is one of the best games on the Wii. Simply put, it's freakin awsome.It's a little un traditional as a racing game, as whoever has the most points wins the race. You get points(or stars as they're called ingame)for things such as drifts, air, hitting other trucks,first to finish the race, and the most fun,tree runs(narrowly dodging trees). The great music helps the wonderful gameplay, which is fun whether it's two-player or single. The races are fast and furious, and keep you on the edge of your seat, while the multiplayer gives the best satisfaction in the world..........giving your friend a 5star Truck smash within the first second of the race. So if you're looking for a racing game, definetly pick this up.

Alright

Its fun with your friends, but the overall game is short and can get repetative. It takes some getting use to cuz of the controls, but overall not bad.

This is my review for Excite Truck for the Wii.

First of all, I love this game. It's my favorite game that I've played for the Wii. Thats just my opinion, but I thought it was a great game. Oh yeah this is my 1st reveiw so take it easy on me. Controls The Wii's motion sensing controller does an outstanding job of controlling your truck. The 1 button controls the brake and the 2 button controls the acceleration. Any direction on the D-pad is turbo. You tilt the remote side to side to turn and while you're in the air after a jump, you can tilt the Wiimote fowards and backwards to tilt your truck the same way. If you land alll four wheels of your truck on the ground at the same time you get a turbo. Graphics This game looks amazing. The graphics are great. The water effects and dirt look almost real. It doesn't help you much in the race but if you wreck very badly it looks really cool. It's kind of a guilty pleasure like wrecking your car in Burnout. Feel This game is not just extremely easy, but it's not extremely hard either. The later levels of the game are hard but thats to be expected. Most all of the trucks handle well. This game has a great feel. Conclusion I would reccomend this game to anybody. You can have fun with this game for a long time. This is definantly one of the best games for the Wii.

Excite Truck Exciting? Yes

Excite Truck is one of the shortest game that i have ever played but it is also one of the greatest and most enjoyable as well. I live in Austraila so i bayed $80 or around $65 US but even with the step price tag it was worth it (It was nomarly $100 but i got 20% off). OK the Multplayer is bad only 2 people and no coms and there is only chanllages with 2 diffcults but that is forgiving, 20 corues is great if they weren't just remixes of 7 actual locations i can kind of forgive that because the corues are that well disigned but it still eats me a bit inside and no coruse editor? Dam. On the upside though there is 21 trucks to choose from yeah! and 3 different diffcules and only 3 of the corues are ice one's. You may be thinking how can you give a game 4.5/5 when it has so many Cons and so little Pros? The answer is it's exciting just as the name expanies this game its a ton of fun so much fun that repalying corues over and over never gets tired and if you won't to unlock everything there tons of replay valve here. The controls in this game are great and they also add to the games score because they are anotherhuge factor that makes this game exciting the only control is spining your truck but once you get used top it it's real easy. The sound is alright the music isn't great as it's tunes and voice but it ain't awful and the SD opions great, the wii mote sounds are good but all the trucks engines sound the same. The graphics are a let down the trees, rocks and a few other things looked rush and early GC looking the trucks and must of the enviroment look great but not real next-gen. But apart from all that if you ain't going to get much replay valve from this rent it but if you are Buy Buy Buy!

Excite Truck honest review

Intro: This game is a very different sort of wii title taking into consideration there are no games like it and a lacking number of racing/driving titles on wii. Gameplay: 4.8/5 This is one of the most 'natural' games i have played. It has a smooth feel to it and is very addictivingly fun. Longetivity: 3.5/5 The problem is that you dont really get very much time to have the fun. In theory, it is a short game, to get to the end. However it sort of keeps up when you take into consideration how you need to get all 'greats' on each race to unlock extras. Also you would go back on for the multiplayer on a regular basis. Graphics: 3.6/5 From looking at a distance, the graphics seem supurb and smooth, which they are. BUT if you concentrate and really look, the trucks movement appears blurred, and inprecise. Sound: 3.5/5 Lets just say its basic. Very repeditive sound tracks and boring to hear. How ever there is a great feature - if you have mp3 tracks saved to an sd card you can play them! Handling: 4.5/5 Feels smooth and Natural in every way. OVERALL: 4.25 Reccommended for every wii owner, especially if you are a fan of racing games.

good to a point

this one is good to a point. There needs to be a storyline added and maybe some new cars but the gameplay is still very fun and it will keep you playing for hours.

Wii:Great! Excite Truck:Not

The Wii is a great system but I'll admit Excite Truck is not a good racing game. Sorry guys but this game loses to Burnout 1,000 to 1
