 "fun for Mom" | 2008-07-05 |
| - Reviewed By agarh |
| We have had this game for about a year. It is a lot of fun for this 43 year old Mom. I don't usually play console games because my button pushing coordination level is about 0. This game, like other wii games, has limited button pushing and more closely RESEMBLES actual driving. The turning of the wii remote is a bit different than turning a steering wheel but can be mastered . It is incredibly fun and addictive. It is also extremely gratifying to occasionally beat my "gamer" son. Your advantage: practice at night a few times when he has to go to bed! |

| My husband bought me Wii Excite Truck and a Wii Wheel for Christmas. Man were my kids jealous! This game is so much fun! It's fun with the wii-mote, but I highly recommend the wheel for an even more interactive experience. I can't wait to get MarioKart and an extra wheel and go head-to-head with my husband, who always whines that I won't let him use my wheel when we play now. |

 "Gift for 7 year old from Uncle" | 2008-05-09 |

After some initial shipping problems where the local post office forgot where we lived I got the game in time to take to my nephew for his 7th birthday. He was a little frustrated at first, as he tried to master the training sessions, but with a little help from his Dad he figured it out. We skipped some of the training sessions and just ran the game. He picked up how to steer very quickly and it was great fun for him. He tended to press the wrong buttons at first but after about 1/2 hour he got the hang of it. The only thing we( his mum and dad and I )could not figure out, not even after I read the instructions ( I'm an engineer and a computer geek) was how to race two trucks side by side. I left early but was told later that he played with it for 3 straight hours then it was bedtime.
His 4 year old brother did not have the finesse yet to drive it though. |

My grandson is 4 YEARS 7 MONTHS. He had been quickly bored with my Wii games. He loves the Wii Excite. He loves it because I have a wheel, and he can steer it like the games at an arcade (Pizza place, bowling alley).
He loves it because there are no rules. He can constantly crash into trees, go off cliffs, and sink in water. No problem. The game allows you to keep going and even awards points for good crashes. In other words, he loves it because he can have fun playing, without having a clue what he is doing. It's a great game for youngsters. It's also fun for anyone else that likes truck racing games. |

| Excite Truck is hands down the most fun racing "we've" had with the Wii. My sister, who hates games, loves playing Excite Truck with me, her older brother. This game is completely entertaining and accessible enough that anyone can play. Not to be missed if you have a Wii. I liked it so much that I had rented it almost a year ago, and just recently decided I still wanted to play it. |

| "Graphics not as good as playstation" | 2007-12-29 |

Playstation graphics are better. You turn the Wii side to side for steering. I personally found the turning too sensitive and the turbo boost confusing. The turbo boost work against the steering.
The game is fun to play against another friend. The courses are challenging and the competitiveness inherit in the game makes it fun. The game is emercive and the background archade like. Crashes don't consume unreasonable amounts of time. The Wii has no tactile feedback which would be a nice future feature. Single person view would be cool, but is not available in the game. The turbo boost will explode the engine if the usage hits red line. The game is good for numerous hours of play and competition.
A futuristic possible could be remote RC toys using wifi video, real world navigation using wii devices, and RC toys traversing a real world terrain. A perfect combination of virtual interfacing with real world devices in a gamelike environment. Excite has a 1990s arcade feel, instead of a real world situational experience.

| We just got this for Christmas and I overheard my 5 year old telling his Granny that his daddy wouldn't let him play this because he was too busy playing it himself! We've all enjoyed this game and have "teamed up" to try to advance to new levels. This is one game you won't regret buying. |

| Excite truck is an absolute blast. I bought it for my kids (7,5) last christmas and it's still our most popular game. The jumps, the spins, the crashes... you literally find yourself cracking up during game play. Two-player is great but I usually wait for my kids to fall asleep and then try to achieve the multitude of awards under single player. It's through single player that you are able to unlock bigger and badder trucks to race. Do yourself a favor, if you are just buying yourself the wii console and want to purchase a few games with it, make sure this game is one of them. |

This must be one of the best Fun based car racing games I have played for a loooong time.
This car racing game is more based towards 3d views and some somewhat unreal acceleration functions. But mind you this increases the fun-factor by several 100%.
Can you imagine a racing game where the racing track actually runs trough mountains and valleys in dimensions of several x0 meters up and down ? Its like making your car work and jump like a goat in the Alps ;-)
Ever thought of turning on the rocket boost engine when you are in the air ?
This game has those features and anything you havent thought of yet !!
The background weather is changing from rain to snow to sunshine and even the waterdrops appear and disappear on your wind screen.
That is the car racing game with the most stunning fun and stunt-effects. So for sure you can make stunt starting from simple drifting, to airspins, activate superpower to break through jungle deep woods, activate hyper accelaration where the racing track gets transformed in front of your eyes into a ramp .. and it just doesnt stop there.
First time I played it I was shocked that you actually have to start running through a training before you are allowed to play it. Once the real game starts you understand why the training was made for it. ;-)
There are already 70+ reviews but I can just add this will be a long time seller !!
Excellent fun for anybody involved !!
