Fifteen Days & Five Hours

Wii is getting closer, which is cool. Thought that since I have nothing better to do, I'd do the next part of my three part post on my most anticipated Wii games.

Back to blue, I s'pose? Okay. On to number two!

2. Excite Truck

Well, I'm not usually one for a racing game, but this one is different. It doesn't focus completely on the racing, which I'm really liking. Most of the game is about catching insane air and flying over everything, and gaining points. Basically you control your truck with the Wiimote turned sideways, and tilt it left and right to turn your truck. The D-Pad is used for boost, but if you use too much boost, your engine will overheat and you'll have to slow down for a few seconds (just a little Excitebike nostalgia there). Racing elements remain, but Nintendo's included a star-point system into the game. If you get some unreal hangtime, and land perfectly, you'll gain a speed boost, and you'll gain five stars for pulling off this awesome feat. You can go 120 through a stretch of road packed with trees, and if you don't ram one and go flying in a heap of crumpled metal (in slow motion), the game will reward you star points for living through this daredevil tree run. I think this game will be a winner, in a sense that you'll be able to play through this game with friends on multiplayer and have a great time. Can't you just imagine your friend taking too tight of a turn and slamming into a tree, spinning out, while you follow close behind, smoking his side, and you both go flipping up in flames? Just tell me that's not fun. I'm really excited for this title (like that pun hasn't already been made a baker's dozen times).

Well, that'll be all for now. I have a dance to get to.
