Need for speed, excite truck is just another racing game, you steer normally just like in NFS except minus the crew building, extensive customization, graphix, some what of a sotry mode, fun free form, all midnite curising the cities, unlockable places, ect.
-Excite truck was a test drive for the wii's racing life. NFS hands down, I hate to talk about graphix, cuz i belive graphix can always improve and i live in the best HD LIFE(get one queers of war) but Excitetruck's graphix are pretty bleac and dull. Some of it even has the curse of the pixel blocks :sick:
--also note that I have only rented NFS, not excite truck, but i played it a bit at a friend's house. Im going to try out excite truck, but proboly buy NFS.
