Product Description
Get ready to pilot the world's most powerful trucks and go head-to-head in pulse-pounding off-road competitions all over the world.

Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
Steer the Wii towards more driving action as giant monster trucks fly through the air with the greatest of ease and then crash flaming barrels into their opponents when they land.

The lowdown:
It's not the only 4x4 game on the Wii, but where Excite Truck aims for completely unrealistic jumps and ridiculous speed this ploughs its own path (usually right through the opposition). Here the courses are more traditional as you powerslide round corners and jump off-road for a quick short cut. The biggest boost is to be had by performing stunts when in the air though, via a quick waggle of the Wii Remote. Land safely when you're finished and you'll get a significant speed boost, but if that's not enough for you there's also various flaming barrels standing around the course for you to shunt into your opponent and even things out even more. To ensure you can abuse human players as well as the computer there's also a handy split screen multiplayer mode as well.

Since you ask:
An Xbox version of the game was released in March 2006, but only in America. The Wii version reuses only the basic concept and graphics, with much of the rest of the game being completely remade.

The bottom line:
Another driving feather for the Wii's surprisingly full racing cap.-HARRISON DENT

If you're after a good, fun monster truck game for the Wii buy Excite Truck. Do not go near this mess of a game, I guarantee you will regret it no matter how cheap it appears. It is a pure cash in on the Wii phenomenon.

This is NOT a full review of all the features this game has to offer. I found this game to be utterly rubbish. And I was unable to complete it, or even play it for more than 30 minutes, due to the terrible monotony of the gameplay.

What I did see of the game, graphics and sound related, was also abysmal. The graphics are far from the smooth, flowing visuals that the far superior Excite Truck has to offer, and the soundtrack becomes irritating before too long. In fact, Excite Truck is far better in every aspect.

My advice is to steer well clear of this game, and buy Exicite Truck instead.

This game is extremely average in 1-player, having little challenge and being a little ugly on the eye (in fact, Beetle Adventure Racing on the N64 puts the graphics -and everything else- on this title to shame). It took me half a day to unlock all the special features, none of which are overly exciting, most are vehicle upgrades, which don't appear to make much of a difference to the races at all. However as a pick-up-and-play game it can be good to kill an hour or two, it just doesn't enthuse me as much as it should. The 2-player game can be a good laugh, in fact the Soccer minigame in monster trucks was great fun ... for a while at least. I'd class this as a dull racer, lacking in excitement and charm.

Well i bought this game for my husband, and as soon as it came with the free stering wheel we were playing it, i had just the controler and at first found it a little difficult to control it but soon got the hang and was thrashing my husband who was not best pleased we swopped controllers so i has the stering wheel and oh yes i thrashed him again, you can pimp your ride and choose tracks everything you want in a game. im back on here because ive just ordered it for my friends birthday too. HIGHLY RECOMENDED....
