Excite Truck - Wii game

Excite Truck is a video game published by Nintendo and developed by Monster Games for the Wii video game system. It features malleable environments and tilt-based controls. The game was one of the Wii launch titles in North America. It is a spiritual successor to the Excitebike series.

Excite Truck is the first Wii game to let people select music in the form of MP3's from a SD card to the game to be played in the background while they are playing instead of the music provided by the game. The game also supports split screen two player multiplayer.



Excite Truck does not use the Nunchuk attachment; it is controlled entirely with the Wii Remote. To control the game, players must hold the Wii Remote in their hands horizontally, the way the controller is held for some Virtual Console games. Steering is done by tilting the Wii Remote from side to side like a steering wheel.

Braking is done by pushing the 1 button and accelerating is done by pushing the 2 button. Boosts are done by the directional pad. To land major jumps, the player has to tilt the Wii Remote so that all four wheels will land parallel to the ground.
When first starting the game, after the player enters their name and create the file to be stored in the system's memory, they must go through a series of tests or practice runs (similar to Gran Turismo) before they are allowed to play the full game.
After finishing the training levels, both single and multi player modes are available. The player first starts with three trucks: the Boulder, the Firefly, and the Wolf. They must unlock additional trucks by reaching various benchmarks.


I think that this game is fascinating and very fun!
