Right now I own Zelda, WarioWare, Super Paper Mario, and Wii Sports.

I'm looking for another game and am torn between these two. Which do you guys enjoy more and why?

I'd go with Trauma Center, but I'm a nursing student so that stuff interests me more.

Trauma Center. I own Excite Truck and it's just not a good game (short, awkward controls)

Neither game is absolutely amazing on its own, I suggest you get something different.

Definately Trauma Center.  I own both and Trauma Center is just much more fun and different than the usual run of the muck driving game.

I never played Trauma Center, but I'm borrowing Excite Truck... and I thoroughly enjoy it. I actually really like the, use the wiimote as a steering wheel idea. It's really inovative and fun. Maybe, you should see if you could rent/borrow the game from a friend, or just watch videos of both games. With Excite Truck you can add your music to the game... playing the game with Sephiroth's theme is pretty intense heh.

I'll toss my hat in for Excite Truck. I've logged almost as many hours into Excite Truck as I have into games like Zelda and Super Paper Mario. It is definitely a game that doesn't offer much depth but the actual racing is so much fun that I found myself picking it up every now and again for just a few more races. There are plenty of tracks and levels to go through, nothing that would take you more than a few days to complete, but they are fun enough that you might just go back to unlock more medals and trophies along the way.

Trauma Center is supposed to be a pretty good game as well but I am not so sure it has the same level of replayability that you would get out of Excite Truck. Why not give both games a rent and decide before you buy?

 that game is insanely fun and hard at times.   The missions are quick so you can put it down and it has a level of satisfaction to it thats great.

If you are looking for a fun whimsical game, go with Excite Truck.  If you are looking for something completely different go with Trauma center.  Rent if you are unsure.

As an owner of both I would recommend Excite Truck. They are both good games but I have gotten a lot more time out of Excite Truck and think its a blast. It is tricky in the beginning but one you get the controls down it is simply awesome. Now it is true that there isn't a lot to Excite Truck and that Trauma Center is very unique and that you can't go wrong with either in my opinion but ET gets the edge in terms of fun.

Going back to what Velric said... it's so true that each race could take hours just to try to get platinum. I think it's got such a high replay value, and I really do hope for a sequel.

 How would you play your music on excite truck if the wii doesnt even take CDs?

In my opinion, Excite Truck was WAAAAY underrated. For a launch title, it was incredibly good. I think when reviewing this game, people forgot that it was Nintendo's first shot at making a racing game where you actually steer the Wiimote.  The controls are very responsive, and it's just plain fun. I definitely recommend this game!

I've heard Trauma Center is very addicting and offers some good gameplay. Excite Truck is fun for a few days, then it grows dull.

 

Go with Trauma Center. :)

go for trauma center, excite truck is very repetative and you get bashed around so much on it and your truck has a dent on the fender. trauma center is way better.
