Cookyman Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Nice vid man! you certainly got the spins sussed! hopefull get my copy by Wednesday - fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiemetriX Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 If you use an SD card for your music I recommend going to the main menu screen an choosing Custom music. Then you don't need to choose your music each time you start a new course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Wayhay, i got laods of 720 spins this morning, now i've found a rack i can go for the 1080 on. Unlocked Paltinum now, and i think i'm on the 3rd unlockable truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 grrrr.. those spins really annoy me.. anyway im always a bit annoyed by racing games where you HAVE to do tricks to unlock and advance.. but otherwise a great game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 well I've kinda sussed the spins, not done anymore than a 720. but had a fair few now...finding some of the platinum tracks hard to get any good decent kind of records, want those S rankings god damn it!

Owen Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I need an SD card and reader now. Is there any stores I can walk into and pick up a cheap SD card and reader? Can't be arsed to order online and wait for it to turn up. I got the Mikimo reader from Argos for £9.99 (well £8.99, my dad works there). Works a treat. SD Card from GAME, has 'wii' on it...although you can get them cheaper but online, try gameplay you'll get it very very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peeps Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I have my sd card in the Wii but I don't see Custom music in the menu... does that mean my card isn't compatible with the Wii? That really sucks arse. [edit] Ok I've just gone to start my first race and I can select my sd card and play the songs... maybe I'm just blind or maybe the option for custom soundtracks to play as default will only appear after you've had a race?

Guest Stefkov Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I need an SD card and reader now. Is there any stores I can walk into and pick up a cheap SD card and reader? Can't be arsed to order online and wait for it to turn up. £2.28 SD card However postage is £4.50, but still £7 for 1Gb. £8 ish card reader However I'm guessing postage is a bit again. I got the game in the post this morning, I love it! I still havnt got the hang of the controls though. It shows to hold the controller with the buttons facing up but I hold it with them facing me, easier to turn then. Spinning is still a bit hard for me. However S ranking on the first two tracks on Bronze on the first try. Booyah! Just currently putting music on my SD card now, the music on the game isnt that bad, maybe they didnt put the effort into it because they wanted the SD card support from the beginning. I just found the best song for it, Ready Steady go by Larc~En~Ciel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Right, there is too much praising in this thread for me not to have this game. The moment my mum gets back with the car im going into town and buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment my mum gets back with the car im going into town and buying it. Im sure you will love it.. oh you should try Tescos or Adsa to get it for under £30! Well im not far off unlocking Mirror Mode.. which im quite looking forward too.. for some reason. Oh and is it just me or is this game more fleshed out than some people where trying to make out. Yeah its not so packed full of options and tracks but it makes up for it in pure fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peeps Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Played a few races now, it's good but I'm always infront on my own so it's as if it's only me racing. Hopefully the computer cars will get better soon. Also, the custom soundtrack just chooses one song at random and plays it over and over, so if it selects a short song I'll end up hearing it twice. Is it like that for all of you or does it change to a different song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Just read the gamespot review.... ill pass thanks... Just read it..... ....is he playing the pre-E3 build (i.e. the version from before it was announced) or something?? Also, the custom soundtrack just chooses one song at random and plays it over and over, so if it selects a short song I'll end up hearing it twice. Is it like that for all of you or does it change to a different song? Mine changes to a different song (unless I select one myself)..have you changed it to "random" in the options?

Guest Stefkov Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Just read the gamespot review.... ill pass thanks... Seriously you should try it. Whether it be renting from Blockbusters, it really is a good game. I'm gonna read the review, see why its putting you off. Ultimately, Excite Truck feels more like a tech demo than a full-fledged game. I'm sorry...wha? I got a 1080 spin on the second bronze track I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motion Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Just read the gamespot review.... ill pass thanks... Just try it. It's a great game. Gamespot are morons anyway.

Ty Cube I probably would have figured it out eventually but it's easier for someone to tell me hehe and that way I can keep doing races instead of messing around in the options On Silver now, 2 S grades out of 3 so far and I've just unlocked a new paint job and car Loving this game at the moment even if it is slightly easy. I really get a sense of pure speed from this game and that's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Just got a 1800 degree spin on the silver Finland course. Okay, I landed in the water afterwards, but it was worth it. This really is a fanastic game - I'm almost loving it as much as I did F-Zero GX, which is something I never expected to happen. I really hope that a sequel with proper multiplayer is made..
