I was suprised how fun they game could be
User Rating: 7.5 | Excite Truck WII
I got this game from my father as a present. He bought it to me because it was very cheap. I first thought that this game was one of those bad graphic old school games... But i was surprised when i started playing. The graphics are amazingly good for a Wii game and there is a lot of detail in the race ground and - cars (you can even see the reflection of the car behind you from the bag of the car with all of the trees and stuff). Now i can not believe that this game was made in 2006. I personally would have guessed around 2008 if asked. The game play is also fun. It takes sometime to get used to the controlling, but when you get the hang of it its GREAT. The controlling is obviously done with using a wii remote as a steering wheel. This is amazingly accurate (which annoyed my dad when he played against me). Now this leads us to multiplayer. In most games multiplayer has been a "pain in the behind" because it usually gets stuck when too much is happening or a game splits the screen in such a way that it is impossible to play without a magnifying glass... BUT not this game... although it only has two player max, it is still working fine and shows on the screen what you need to see... AND it does not get all jammed up when two people have got POW and flying through some woods... and THANK GOD FOR THAT!!!
Now i gave this game 7.5 and not 10 was because i find the control sometimes way too responsive. This makes some of my jumps very messed up when you try to keep the remote stable and at the same time lean it back for a better jump... it is a skill which i have not yet in counted... Then there is the difficulty... now i had no problems getting through the tutorial and the bronze stage... but after that i seemed to completely crappy... I know that stages should get harder when you proceed, but i find it very frustrating to have such a big change in the degree of difficulty...
So to summarise i like, in fact love, this game but it has some major downsides...
