In the grand racing tradition of Excitebike, get ready for a big-air experience like no other as players rocket their trucks across dynamically changing terrain. Remember tilting your arms to try to make your character land a huge jump? That experience is finally a reality with Excite Truck, a wild, off-road race in which players hold the Wii Remote like an NES controller to control the truck. The 2 button is the accelerator, the 1 button is the brake, the + Control Pad is the turbo. Tilt the Wii Remote right and left like a steering wheel to steer. Once the truck goes airborne, tilt the Wii Remote every which way to line up perfect landings for turbo boosts. Pick up items on the courses to make the terrain deform in real time, turning innocent bumps into massive launch pads that affect not only the player's route, but that of his or her rivals. Players jump and bump their way to the highest score and highest finish. Less

Pros The game is a ton of fun.
Cons Extremely short. Levels could have used some more diversity.
Recommended it? Yes

Excite Truck is the sequel to the 1985 classic Excitebike. Yeah, you're right, it is a lot different than the NES game. Heck, it's like saying that Madden NFL 2007 is the sequel to a little game that came out the same month and year as Excitebike by the name of Baseball. There is almost nothing... Read full review »

One of the first games we purchased for the Wii was Excite Truck, mainly because both my youngest son and I love racing games and he thought it looked neat.

Excite Truck is a good showcase for the new Wii Remote and makes it a bit more challenging for a racing game, but still loads of... Read full review »

Going to the country, Gonna eat a lot of bananas - Donkey Kong Country Returns

Pros challenging, quirky humor, incredible level design, action packed
Cons sometimes a little too hard
Recommended it? Yes

Other than a couple rounds of Dr. Mario online, I’ve played nothing but platform games over the last month or so.  It started with Kirby’s Return to Dreamland; that was really easy.  Then I made my way through New Super Mario Bros Wii, which was much more challenging and... Read full review »

Yay, I'm finally back after the longest time to write a review! And to celebrate being back, I want to write about an amazing title. The game is Donkey Kong Country Returns, a game that I think is one of the best platformers I've ever played. DKCR really is amazing. It's... Read full review »
