Review

Fast, fun and forgotten in a year

Nov 17, 2006

It's not the most glamorous launch game in history, but Excite Truck's high-octane action succeeds on many levels. The hilly, morphing terrain and spectacular crashes provide a sense of speed that'll grab the attention of casual gamers everywhere, while unlockable cars and secret paths reward players who've got a better handle on this whole "video game" thing. A customizable soundtrack (courtesy of Wii's SD card slot) sweetens the deal even more, letting you toss in your favorite mp3s and soar ...

We take Nintendo's off-road racer for a tilt

Sep 27, 2006

Wednesday 27 September 2006 Nintendo's spiritual successor to side-scrolling scrambler Excitebike (released for NES in 1986) might be generations ahead of the 2D pixelated racer in terms of graphical oomph, but Wii's Excite Truck still packs many of the original's gameplay mechanics under its mud-spattered bonnet. Indeed, the tracks we sampled during our recent hands-on - a sun-soaked and beach flavoured Fiji circuit, along with a more traditional off-road inspired Mexican course - may have ... » Read Full Excite Truck preview

Hands-on with the most excitable trucks you'll ever see

May 23, 2006

Tuesday 23 May 2006 If there's one type of gaming that truly benefits from Wii's sensory-overload controller, it's the racing genre. Instead of holding the wand like a pointer, you use both hands to position it horizontally - and turn it like a steering wheel. This makes Excite Truck all the easier to play and its accessibility is only enhanced by its amazing simplicity. The early version we played featured two courses - one tropical and another an arid desert. Regardless of which track we ... » Read Full Excite Truck preview

Wii: The most excitable trucks you'll ever see

May 11, 2006

If there's one type of gaming that truly benefits from Wii's sensory-overload controller, it's the racing genre. Instead of holding the wand like a pointer, you use both hands to position it horizontally - like a steering wheel. Everyone, in theory, knows how to drive using a wheel. This makes Excite Truck all the easier to play, and its accessibility is only enhanced by its amazing simplicity. For E3, Nintendo had two levels to try out, one tropical and another an arid desert. Regardless of ... » Read Full Excite Truck preview
