Excite Truck IS a racing game and a very enjoyable one. Usually is rated around 75/100 but to me it's up to 85/100.

This isn't a matter of opinion.

Excite Truck is a racing game. That is pure, unadulterated fact. You'd be an ignorant fool to argue otherwise.

What happens when you place first? You get a significant star bonus, to assist you in winning even if you got fewer stars than the competition. Hmm, sounds like you're racing to get that bonus, eh?

Not to mention you can't just keep driving around and earning stars after somebody's finished the race - you've gotta complete it too.



Seriously, people these days.

 Excite Truck is an excellent racing game!

The point of the game is to place high and to do tricks.  Collecting stars emphasizes both of those points nicely and if you're concentrating too hard on tricks you can slack a little on what place you get if you just want to pass but if you want an S Class (I think that's what it was called) you have to be awesome at both.

Really, Excite Truck is a terribly underrated game.  I can't wait until the second one comes out with more content and online.

 WOAHHHH *tear's start falling*



Excite Truck is a racing game and winning is pretty damn important, or at least coming in close as to not lose too many stars if you were already in the lead.

In fact, IMHO I would rate it as a much more fun racing than pretty much anything else out there. Granted, I am not a sports game fan and have never cared much for "realistic" racers. I am really looking forward to Excite Truck 2 w/ online.



Excite Truck is more of a fighting game to me because I'm always hitting the trees.
