I was a massive fan of ExciteTrucks (massively underrated Wii game) so I'm definitely looking forward to this.

it doeasn't look like MKWii, although it is a same genre...

Excitebot definitely is a best racing game in Wii, beside MKWii...

The game has a lot things to offer like bot, paint, statue etc to unlcok...similiar like Brawl

The local game or even wifi multiplayer is the best part...lag free...wifi using betting system to earn stars, and then using the stars to buy unlock item...it is so much better than VR in MKWii...

Just grab it, or else u will regret... rclxms.gif

I agree with you. It lacked a lot of "features", being a launch title(online being one of them), but it has a very solid racing gameplay. The motion controls was perfect, it never overturned, and IMHO was a lot more fun than wii-wheel steering in MK. Boosts kept the pace fast, the scoring system was actually fun and meaningful, and other than being a challenge to enthusiastic gamers, it was completely accessible to casuals and my 7 year old cousins!

If excitebot is anything like excitetrucks, plus online, i fully expect it to be a good racing game, second only to MK.
