Posted February 11, 2007 this game doesnt have enough depth for me, not worth £40 yeah thats what has put me off getting it, bit short on cash at the moment, otherwise would have bought it without a doubt, but can't really justify it when it's likely that I will complete it in less than a weekend.

Posted February 11, 2007 this game doesnt have enough depth for me, not worth £40 You mean £35? (they deliver for release date, yes?) Usually the day before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 I'm not sure about it, but I would like a new game for my Wii, since launch I've had Wario Ware and nothing else. Think I might just pick it up because I'm not actually bothered about the length of games (I didn't even complain about Luigi's Mansion) and it'll be a sort of new experience.

Posted February 11, 2007 Does anyone know the number of courses in this game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 The Americans really like this game i believe, i read alot of opinions over on gamefaqs and everyone says it's pretty decent. It looks like great fun to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 ..games are as long as you make them really.. Lylat Wars isn't exactly long.. but I think I have completed that more than any other game because I played through it so many times.. it is so good.. I'm hoping Excite Truck is kinda like Wave Race or 1080, neither of which are really long or appear to have many courses, but I have played those games so much, with 1080 Snowboarding and Wave Race: Blue Storm being two of my favourite games ever. I just got so much enjoyment out of playing them that I loved playing over and over, trying to better my scores and times. I feel this could be the case with Excite Truck too, but we'll just have to wait and see. I'm quite looking forward to it though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 Does anyone know the number of courses in this game? Apparently the game has 19 tracks, with 6 different areas (Fiji, Scotland, China etc.). So it's probably 3 different courses per country and an unlockable secret track methinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 11, 2007 Sounds like plenty to me. Can't wait for my first wii racer!!! Yea, the reviews make it sound like theres 10 tracks, and when those are done, then it's all over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 It's two-player split-screen isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 Yeah, it is. The guys on GameSpot looked like there were having fun when they first got their Wii on that video when they played it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 Yeah, it is. The guys on GameSpot looked like there were having fun when they first got their Wii on that video when they played it. No they didn't. They somehow managed to make this game look as fun or as awkward as possible. I think I died a little inside when I watched that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 Haha, well I've bought it anyway, can always sell it on Ebay if it's crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 Haha, well I've bought it anyway, can always sell it on Ebay if it's crap. I expect the game to be amazing. Am really looking forward to it. Just, I don't think Gamespot did the game any justice. Hmm, we shall soon see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 It'll be good, just don't go expecting a hefty realistic racer (no-one was, surely?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 11, 2007 Heh, I completed the game at my local Game store. Granted, the tutorial and some of the beginning races had already been done, but still. It's wafer thin and future bargin bin material, which is kinda sad because what there is to it is a brilliant racer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 11, 2007 How long were you standing in the store playing it? or did you go back and fourth? I was actually there for about an hour and a half, but the stores pretty big so I didn't get told to piss off or anything, but I went for a walkabout cause me legs hurt. I came back after an hour and nobody had touched it, so I asked for the controller and played for another hour. Yes I know. Aaand, thats that boring story over.

Thats a bit of a concern as I have been looking forward to this for ages. Although I was aware it was a bit brief - I just hope that it works out being one of those games that you want to go back to for brief blasts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah it's not boring, thanks for the info! So it took you about 2 and a half hours to complete it? but you didn't unlock everything did you? I reckon it's about a 5 hour game, but has alot of replayability. Shame it's not 4 players..but i suppose that would be odd squashing it all on screen.

Posted February 12, 2007 My plan is buy it for £30 from shopto, play it for a week and IF IT EXCITES ME TO THE MAX, I'll keep it. If not, to ebay for a refund and I'll get Kororinpa. Did the same thing with Smooth Moves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
