Just a small blurb here, but wow, talk about an underrated game! I’ll have a video coming soon I made from the first course in the game and showing you how it controls, but I’ve totally underestimated how much pure fun the game is. The sense of speed is amazing at times and the jumps can reach to incredible heights while you race your truck against the computer or another player through wild and fairly open tracks. You don’t have to stay on the road, in fact the game encourages you to find alternate routes to take, gaining stars along the way for “Tree Runs” and more. You then unlock more trucks and tracks depending on your race. It’s got dirt tracks, tracks with water, and of course icy/snowy courses to race on, each presenting their own sets of difficulties and challenges throughout the level.

There are minor interactive elements to the races as well allowing for even more fun to be had sometimes at your opponents expense. Add to this package an SD card full of your favorite upbeat driving tunes in MP3 format and you’ve got many hours of fun on your hands as the game will randomly (or in order) play through your music. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a wild ride on the Wii! I happened to trade in Elebits for the game as Elebits just wasn’t my thing and am very glad I did. Video coming soon showing what’s up with ExciteTruck!

Here’s that video of the game in action I made showing some hands-on:
