DESCRIPTION

Giving a nostalgic nod to Excitebike and Excitebike 64, Excite Truck features single- or two-player off-road racing on a variety of dirt and gravel courses. Players steer their way into the victory lane by tilting the controller left or right and accelerating with a button. When landing a jump, gamers tilt the Wii Remote forward or backward to keep the wheels in-line with the track. Collecting power-ups scattered along the road will temporarily deform part of the racecourse into a big ramp. As each jump is landed successfully, players are rewarded with short speed boosts. If players crash they are then faced with a quick mini-game requiring them to fill a meter to determine their restarting point on the track. Quick fingers earn a spot close behind the other drivers. Similar to Excitebike, if gamers use their turbo too often, the truck overheats, causing the racer to stop and let things cool down. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

“Uno dei giochi più divertenti su Wii. A prescindere da una colonna sonora di bassissimo livello (sostituibile comunque con brani da Memoria SD), il gioco si comporta bene una volta acquisita la giusta tecnica di guida.”

“I was thinking earlier today how a lot of older games have been redone and given a new spin by game developers today, where technology is far more abundant than when the original was created. While...”

“Finally got around to trying this game. Pretty fun stuff, really. Really good for a game to just sit down and play from time to time, without too much involvement.”
