I was considering getting this game a while back (like over a year ago), but I decided against it since it got mediocre reviews (I very rarely listen to reviews, but I didn't know anyone who had actually played the game for themselves). After hanging out here, I don't think I've seen anyone who's played Excite Truck dislike the game. So my question to you guys is, do you think I should buy it? I would hold off for Excitebots, but apparently that isn't getting released in EU until August, so I might as well get this until then, I'm thinking.

that game is super fun :D.
it is one of the few games that i actually play on my wii.
plus it is published by nitendo so you know it has to be good

its a good game but u must keep in mind that it isnt a normal racer since u got to collect stars to be good in rankings plus theres no online mode but the graphics are beautiful!!

YES. It's a great and very fun game.
I don't always complete games, but this one I spent many many hours on getting all the tracks completed till the highest level. The game has a wonderful sense of speed.
It's also pretty cheap now.

BUY IT.

Sure why not. I have the original ExciteBike @ home and I love it.

The game is awesome.

It's a great game, and if you put a bunch of MP3s on an SD card you can build your own sound track.

I say yes get it.

Extremely fun. It's an out-of-control, skill-oriented Mario Kart on 250cc.
It's been out for awhile, so make sure to buy it in a bargin bin.

So I ordered Excite Truck, and it arrived in the mail yesterday. Tried it out today, and wow! It's really fun! The controls take some getting used to, but even when you do something wrong it doesn't really matter because it's just pure fun!

How this got so mediocre reviews I'll never know. It's a real and true gem, in every sense of the word! So happy I bought this :D

^^ yes i don't understand the reviews, they call it a 'tech demo' more than a proper game. And that was a launch title so there wasn't much hate built up as yet....guess they were doomed from the beginning. Wii games that is.
