Excite Truck is a racer that you will definitely enjoy but not for a long time.
First of all I was wondering how the graphics going to be and turned out to be good looking, although it can be done much better as the Nintendo Wii should be as twice powerful as the GameCube which delivered graphics better than that of Excite Truck, but the good thing is that the game didn't suffer any frame rate issues and was really fast.
In terms of gameplay I find it great and fun with a really nice sense of speed. In this game you will control the car somehow like a real car by holding the wii mote horizontally and tilting it right and left to turn and you will be given a basic tutorial on how to steer your car at the beginning of the game. I find the controls accurate and easy to handle except for the air spin which is a little bit confusing but otherwise everything is simple.
Overall the game is easy, there are 2 difficulties where you have to finish the first one to unlock the other difficulty. The first difficulty contains four cups with five races in each except for the first one which contains four races. The thing I didn't like is after finishing the first difficulty in four hours only I've been told that to unlock the second difficulty I have to complete all the races with S grade which is very difficult for the player and an easy way for the developer to extend the play time. So then I decided to check the other modes, there are only challenge and versus mode left.
First the challenge mode which contains three types of challenges with two races in each. The first two challenges are very difficult and last one is very easy. The most enjoyable one is the ring challenge. Finally the versus mode for two players only which is fun but will not last for a long time.
I think Excite Truck would be a great racer if the developer had put some more effort into the game. If you have a Nintendo Wii only and you are desperate for a racer then you can go for it otherwise you can skip it and wait for a better racer that worth the money.
