Motorstorm!

[shams]

Kwaad said: I'm just gonna say this. I've played Excite Truck at demo wii terminals... and I thought it was just... another crappy offroad raceing game. It didnt feel new, better, innovative than anything I've played in the past. (looked a little better, but not alot)

If that's what you think, then I don't think you played it at all. It plays like a normal off-road racer... until you start using Turbo's (and without Turbo's its impossible to compete/get medals). Turbos turn it into Extreme-G/Wipeout/F-zero - with the levels rushing by so quickly, you can barely see what is coming up. Its mostly a good thing, but makes the fun *very* dependent on the level design. The jumps are also pretty cool - but I thought they should have been used more (and more integral to the game). Not sure Im hot on the mix of "half-racing / half-tricking". I also hope they work on a ExciteTruck II at some point. PS: I doubt Motorstorm could handle even 2-player split-screen play. Running at 720p at 30fps (only) is bad enough. At least ExciteTruck runs at a proper 60fps
