Pushes of adrenalin bottom the lever envies? Do not seek further: Excite Truck is made for you. This game of race is not really a game like the others: if he sins by certain sides, he can also shine by others, and it is undoubtedly what makes some with final pleasant experiment.
Do you remember Excite Bike from the 80’ies, Excite Truck is one can say 3rd series since them Excite were entitled to a shutter on Nintendo 64. One should be able to remain about it there on the level of any bringing together between the three versions, and this for at least two reasons: on the one hand, the game does not have editor of levels and on the other hand, the motor bikes left their place to 4×4. With its multiple turbos, its boosts, the game gets enormous feelings, which grow louder and louder when your vehicle is with tens of meters of altitude and that you have the impression more nothing to control. This element belongs to the strong points of the game, because you feel extremely at this time there, with this single feeling which you are able all to control. Eh yes, one forgot it perhaps a little, but Excite Truck is a game of race: that well will leap in the airs five minutes, but it is also necessary to think of gaining. The victory depends on two parameters: the position of the vehicle to the classification, and the number of stars accumulated during the race.
These stars go in makes determine the aptitude of the game as well as possible to exploit the ground which is put under its wheels: skids, fixings, takings risk, accidents of trees. Each action which the gamer takes will thus give a number of stars whose total is what imports more. A classification in letters, E with S for Super, indicates if the performance is satisfactory, the unavoidable objective being of course to have enough stars to have an S in each race. The game counts 3 championships: Bronze, Silver and Gold. A Diamond championship is present in the Super mode Excites. When a championship is acquired, the following is available, and so on. Each race will oppose the gamer to 5 competitors. The circuits take us along in universes rather varied like Canada, Finland, Scotland, Mexico, Chile and the Fiji Islands. One imagines then which landscapes to wait: mountains, beaches where the palm trees pullulate (solid, in addition), of the paved stone roads, the desert tracks… These landscapes are not fixed: it is possible to change them while rolling on a point of exclamation.
The decorations are sympathetic, but graphics do not play a major role in Excite Truck: here, it is the gameplay which is important. Because it was already forgotten: it is a Nintendo Wii game which is controlled by the Wiimote. One controls his vehicle by leaning the lever on the line or on the left, one manages the wind resistance by rocking the lever forwards or the back. Once these elements included/understood, one spends his time trying to remain in the air more the possible for a long time, because the most difficult figures are of course those which bring back the most points. But one quickly finds oneself to make enormous jumps, to try to remain in the airs more the possible for a long time while making in kind be posed on 4 wheels: to congratulate us on such a self-control, one then gains a boost which enables us to go even more quickly, and thus to jump even further. To have its own music can help with better controlling itself: when one presses on the cross, the turbo one starts and requires an overheating of the engine: a gauge helps to avoid running the engine, which makes lose much time.
Let us speak now about some elements which could have made Excites Truck a superb game: its multiplayer mode first of all, which misses few working weeks. And then they is enough irritating to be made beat by the come first to which multiple involuntary acrobatics are enough to grant the victory to the number of stars!
Another disappointment relates to controls: it should be recognized that one does not have always the feeling to have to it… control of the situation!
