Just had a quick shot on a pal wii using usb loader 1.5 works great, very promising game a few different controls and goals from Exite Truck, could see me getting into this one. Gotta agree that Excite Truck was one of the best early Wii games, and one of the few that utilised the Wiimote controller well.

How many players?
How does it work?
Is there a ranking system?
Leaderboards?
Impressions?
I call dips on the Batbot.
And on a side note.

Yeah wifi sounds awesome! If it's the fun of excite trucks + online multiplayer then I'd be happy
i really loved excite trucks.
me and a good friend had a long weekend gaming session, finishing everything in the game with S rankings (gotta love the additional level, right?)
but i am not so sure about this one.
all the added gimmicks sound to me like they distract from the actual racing.
and to me the first game was about going full speed all the time while mastering stunts and tree runs to get high rankings. now with silly stuff added like kicking a soccer ball around, i am afraid the experience will be less frantic.
and, what's even worse in my book, they took out the option to play your own sound!
i mean, come on, that was one of the reasons i could enjoy this game so much.
being able to just throw in some weird music from my collection instead of listening to dreadful
ingame music... and that feature is gone? wtf...

No one told me it's out!!
I might actually finish Excite Truck (only got it 2 weeks ago) and then get this, it looks promising.

This is the first game I dumped with the wbfs manager (2.2). I correctly loaded my Wii Cover but it doesn't appear in Waninkoko's USB loader 1.5....
What am I doing wrong. I tried both the cover downloaded with the wbfs manager and from the internet!
All my other covers load perfectly.

Nothing Wiibrickblocker will not fix though.
Now I was apprehensive of this title, jsut not interested in swinging a frog or some insect around poles.
I was humbled, the game is FUN!
On-line is decent .. no lag, just takes a bit of time to logon, sign up and for the other racers to make up their mind, sometimes.
Otherwise great fun, you can bet on the races and win stars (it's actually pretty easy to do so).
The graphics are ok in single-player, a little down in multi, but no slowingdown or dropped frames, so worth it.
itz great!
runin on 3,3 e with gamma,no problems,definitivly a must buy first time I go in Italy..
...monster games put nintendo in excitetrucks..looks better than trucks,and goes s bit faster,havent try wifi but I think theres gonna be people a long time,at least I hope..

I never played Excite Truck, but with all the praise I'm hearing for it here I feel that I should give it a go.
here's my short take on the game.
so far i finished the training cup and played the bronze one a little.
i've finished excite truck with everything unlocked that's in there, so i am trying to compare from someones view who thought that the first one was one of the best wii titles so far.
the looks: insects/animals instead of cars. well, it does sound a little silly and it does look a little weird, too. the animals can also transform into some walking and gliding mode.
the whole game runs super smooth and looks more detailed but also much brighter/more colorful which isn't necessarily a good thing. gives it a less mature look but it's still vistually pleasing and fast.
the sound: no mp3 support. well that wouldn't be so bad i guess, but since the original score consists of horrid techno sounds it's a huge CON in my book.
gameplay: the controls feel even tighter and more responsive, which is great. controling those bots is a blast and it's got kart wheel support, too, if you prefer that.
as most of you know, they packed more things into each tracks, like boxes with weapons (mario kart style, but thank god it's just one box per round and hardly influencing the outcome of a race).
then there are bars that you can cling on to and swing around.
i can't say i like those, especially the red ones that showed up in every course so far, and require you to spin your wiimote for about 10 times before you can continue. takes away speed and flow and is really just unnecessary...
with all that extra stuff there are more stars to get as well, which are badly needed, since most unlockables cost a LOT.
i guess if you play online and wager some stars (which the game lets you do, nice idea btw) it's way easier to gather enough to unlock everything, else you're going to play for a long, long time...
so? so it's not as perfectly streamlined as the first one and has a more casual feeling to it, thanks to the bots and the colors.
but it controls great, has a smooth engine and enough levels, modes and extras to keep you busy for a while.
i'd rate excite trucks 9/10 and this one 8/10

I'd rate them: 5/10 and 3/10tall said:This Game has update (3.4U).
If you want to keep your 3.2 firmware, do not direct load the game on disc channel.
ever heard of WiiBrickBlocker?
