i think excite truck will shine when you have 2-4 of your buddies over all drinkin some brews and pushing eachother so that one another screw up. i cant wait for the good times to begin

agreed

So Excite Truck sucked ?

It didn't SUCK, but it wasn't all that good of a game. It could keep you entertained for a short time, but I'm not into racing games at all.

LOL at some of the comments mentioned above. Especially Excite truck drinking nights.

I did go to one of the Wii demos that were being held in Australia and I must say it was fun! Some of the games were great with the Wiimote like Wii sports.

I did try the Zelda demo game - that was fun as well! The only downside was that I was not used to using the Wiimote for aiming as I kept moving it offscreen or moving it around too much to actually aim. Another problem I came across was moving the Wiimote as a result of pressing the B button (the button on the back of the Wiimote) after aiming at a particular spot. It caused the cross hairs to shake and as a result make me miss my target on the screen. Did anyone come across that problem?

The attacking was fun. Stab the wiimote in the air to stab with Link and A button to jump attack. Shake the nunchuck left to right and vice versa to do a spin attack. The controls are very easy to use (with the exception of the aiming part of the Wiimote. I guess it takes practice to get the hang of.) and does immerse you into the game.

Where do you live and what gamestop was it. It is hard to believe that you played it there and there wasn't a HUGE line to play it. The only reported place of having a wii is Nintendo World.

Dude, I have pictures. xD Scroll further down on the first page.

I live in New York, and it was a gamestop in southport. (I live in wading river, and I had to go to southport to play the Wii. ) Well anyway, nobody was there... I went around Dinner Time on purpouse.

...Excite truck has some of the worse graphics of the Wii, while Zelda is one of the best...

Isn't that the exact opposite of what the reviews are saying? I heard excite truck has like the best graphics out of all the launch releases.

What have you been reading that said Zelda and Red Steel weren't the best? I read IGN, (and I trust their word the most) and they say Excite Truck isn't the best.

I was having doubts about the wii. You guys are making me feel better. The blue light makes it look sexy as hell. Very minimalist.

By the way, has anyone seen the GT Pro racing game that's coming out for Wii? Apparently it has a free steering wheel and you can clip the wiimote into the middle. There's no reason why you couldn't use it for Excite Truck or any other racer.
