Feel the speed, fly through the air, this game rocks.
There are plenty of trucks to unlock, all with different attributes, so picking the perfect truck makes all the difference. The tracks are all given different themes which gives you a unique experience for every track. The track deformation pick-ups are also really cool, visually as well as game play wise, as you can throw other trucks off track with the correct timing.
The main game play feature is that to win a race you technically don't have to place first. As the winner of the race is determined by points which are gained by drifting, jumping, mid-air tricks or smashing the opposition. This separates the game from the ordinary arcade racers.
I purchased Excite Truck when it first came out, and I still play it now. Now considering that it can now be picked up for bargain prices, it is a must buy.
