Arcade excitement, arcade feel
Excite Truck doesn't hide the fact that it's an arcade racerYou won't be modifying your rig with aftermarket parts or racing to win the heart of some flag-waving girlYou will, however, go fast- very fastIt would be easy to stay on the dirt path that defines the race track, but if you plan on truly winning in Excite Truck, you have to go off road and in the airYour true success in each race is based on a star systemThe more stars you get by performing stunts, drifts and more, the better your rank

Netting lots of stars is not for the feint of heartYou'll need to cruise through fields of trees, launch yourself high in the air, hang on around curves for dear life and smash the daylights out of other trucksAll this and you still want to finish the race in first place

Turbo originality
As with the game's spiritual predecessor, the NES classic Excitebike, you can turbo to your heart's content, but if you push the envelope too far, your rig will overheat, causing you to stall until it cools downIf you smash into a tree, go to far into the water or come face-to-face with a rock known as a mountain, you'll need to mash the 2 Button to right your truck and get back on the road

The Wii-unique aspect of Excite Truck is the way you hold the RemoteInstead of its traditional vertical configuration, you hold it in a horizontal fashion, like the center bar of a steering wheelYou move the remote in the same fashion that you would a car steering wheel, tilting your right hand up if you want to turn left and your left hand up if you want to go rightWhen your truck goes airborne, its front end will lean toward the ground if you tilt the Remote away from you, and if you tilt the Remote toward to, your truck's front end will point up, allowing you to catch a little more airIf you catch enough air, you can try to pull off a 720 and, if you're daring enough, a 1080The more midair spins you can perform, the more stars you earnPlus, remember tilting your arms while playing Excitebike to try to make your character land a huge jump? Now that move will actually affect the game in Excite Truck.

"Raze" the track
The game features a Dynamic Terrain power-upWhen you drive over this symbol, the road ahead changes, sometimes it plows upward to give you an extra hill to jump offOther times, the terrain can sink, sometimes exposing water that can cool off an overheating engineIf you time the Dynamic Terrain activation just right, you can earn stars by sending racers out in front of you for an unexpected flightExcite Truck's tracks also contain POW power-upsThis gives you clutch invincibility as you dare to go off the road and into the woods for a star-flooded tree run.

Excite Truck lets you customize the in-game music you race toDownload an MP3 to an SD card and explore Excite Truck's sound options to hear the tunes you wantThe speed of the game is one thing, going fast to tunes that get you pumped up makes the game a pulse-pounding experience
