A lightening fast and frantic thrill ride from beginning to end, and well worth a purchase.
Our advice is this - snap up this underrated little racer, because you won't regret it. It might not offer a billion options and a trillion tracks, but for the time it lasts you'll be playing with a ruddy great big grin on your face.

Very good racer. The controls are near perfect, the graphics are beautiful for a Wii game and it let's you listen to your own music (MP3's on SD-Card). The only reason I'm no giving this game a 10 is the splitscreen 2player mode which is sperated by a vertical line and this makes playing with a friend more difficult than it should be. Still I have to say the 2player mode is good enough to be worth your time.
If you own a Wii and you're into arcade-style-racing you should definitly get this

A skimpy package that you'll probably finish in record time. Definitely exciting, but also a great advertisement for videogame rentals. [Feb 2007, p.54]
Although not super deep, Excite Truck is a fun little Wii game. I’m most disappointed by the lack of four-player split-screen.
Don’t expect a lot of “play” out of it the first time through as you probably won’t want to work so hard to reach the coveted “S” ranking.
The only multiplayer is a two-player split screen. Four players is too much apparently and going online is out of the question. Not a great system seller in this regard.
It’s a fun game with great control, a portent of good things to come, but sports a bargain title’s worth of content while asking for a full price.
A sheer fun, unique high speed racing game, which requires arcade-like skill and precision to land ridiculous stunts and combos and gain an advantage in the race. You've never played a racing game quite like this, and I guarantee it's fun as hell. Screw realism, this has perfect gameplay and will keep you on the edge of your seat. The longevity of the game is also excellent - getting gold medal can be quite the challenge. Your vehicle will race at the speed of a jet and you will tilt the remote to hover mad amounts of time in the sky and land right in front of a vehicle 5 seconds later after having earned a 5 star bonus for hover, then you will at the last minute make a sheer turn and barely avoid a tree after getting the nitro powerup and destroying an entire forest leaving it in a blaze as you fast track to first, barely knowing what just happened.

Decent enough arcade racer with crazy jumps and lots of jostling vehicles, rather like a prototype version of Motorstorm. The controls are a little slack but it's a good enough excuse to wave your Wii racing wheel around.

It's a fine game. The graphics are subpar (even for Wii), and the music is super generic rock to the point that I turned it way down. But other than that, it's a solid and fun arcade racer. ...that is, if it wasn't for the controls. The WiiMote just isn't cut out for steering. It's imprecise and even frustrating at times. I wish I could play this with a normal controller.

Summary 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 while playing Excitebike to try to make your character land a huge jump? Well, that experience is finally a reality with Excite Truck, a wild, off-roa...
