    Update:
    IGN played it and the game sounds seriously CRAZY. They explain things like the poker mode, the power ups, and such for  anyone (everyone?) who wondered how everything works after that first crazy trailer.

    Convenient pics arranging.

    Racing, stomping & gliding all in one. I can't wait.


    Original:
    Oh my gawd.
    I must say, the descriptions of the tricks and other elements is so uninspired and generic it's actually funny. Super Leg Smash, Pie Face and Super Red Bar? Come on, that HAS to be intentional, right? RIGHT? On the other hand, if you try to ignore that, as well as the stupid actors pretend-playing the game, you'll come to realise this really is Excite Truck on shrooms, with double the EXCITE, making this a likely must-have candidate for Wii owners able to ignore the trolls that will inevitably find their way into this thread thanks to said actors. IMO of course :)

    Looks exciting. I hate those cheesy Nintendo commercials though. That kid should be jacked on sugar; staying up late, and waking up early to play this game. That is what they should be portraying... the good ol' days.

    I'm gonna be reading multiple reviews to make a purchase decision for this game. I've never been a big fan of the Excite series.

    Looks entertaining enough.

    As for the "actors": The next Zelda will be advertised in exactly the same way. Count on it. It's annoying, but very clever marketing.
    It makes normal folks much more comfortable with buying videogames.

    I know, just saying. Metroid Prime 3 had actors too (I liked the French commercial;). They're just even sillier here. I'll still like to see proper trailers without them, after all those who look at these online most likely aren't non gamers, only those who view them in commercials may be that.

    That was hilarious. Gaf probably has the best Excite community out there.

    "I told some noob, that he couldn't see the excite, because it had shit all over his face" That really made me lol.

    Considering most reviewers didn't "get" the original I'd say it's pretty easy to fuck it up. Just play bad enough to not receive any boosts whatsoever, pretend that the power up challenges are too "hard" to manage in the middle of a race, and that the steering just doesn't work, especially when you try to manage the sprinting power up. Skip gliding altogether as I think they said it takes some (little) skill to initiate it.

    Maybe also have your PC download porn while you attempt to play your Wii online so that it keeps getting disconnected messages or is very laggy. Expect this game to be trashed bad if you still bother watching those. Just give up on them and stick around for the forums, which incidentally keep getting quieter on the Wii side (except for random trolls) since you can't make up for the site's coverage in this way.

    But any actual gamer knows it will be insanely awesome anyway :)

    Cannot contain EXCITE any longer. I just want to play this game right now. Wish those vids had more to show, like the bi-pedal gameplay or gliding, but who cares, it's EXCITE!!!!!!!
    Plus, IGN Wii said in the NVC podcast that the controls are much tighter. THANK GOD!

    Man, this game just keeps pulling out on all the stops to make it as insane as it can, and of course, as much EXCITE as it can take.

    And of all things, it's coming out on 420. Lol, what a coincidence.

    I thought about going that route, but then I felt like a tool for doing so.  So, I opted for fun.

    I only recently started playing excite truck and i am pretty EXCITED about this one now, looks quite a bit better than excite truck also, online multiplayer will be a blast that is for sure. Not to fond of the "red bar" though, breaks up the momentum. Have they confirmed that the custom soundtrack option will be comming back? I see no reason why it would'nt but i just want to be sure if i will be able to play death metal while racing animal tranformers.

    I cant believe how fast the turnaround on this game has been. The public first heard of this game like 5 weeks ago, and its coming out TUESDAY! its like the antithesis of Zelda.
