Excite Truck – Great Wii Experience

by Patrick Daniels

Wii has a lot of interesting fun games in their inventory, including racing. By far the best racing game for all the home video consoles is Excite Truck. If you like racing sims that's fine, but my preference is an arcade racer.

The Playstation 3 game Burnout Paradise is one of my favorite arcade type racer which is what Excite Truck is on the Wii. The developers at Wii brought a good sense of speed from the less powerful game console. The levels bring different challenges, and then the most fun is playing with a friend in split screen mode, and that's the classic arcade mode.

The remote is used like a steering wheel, you turn it sideways and go back and forth. This puts the motion controls into play, these are crucial to the game, they're not just fluff.

If not for the great motion controls this game might not be as good as it is. It helps make the game extreme fun as these controls are better than releases after this. The control scheme helps keep the game moving, if they weren't as good it might become boring as you'd run through the tracks too fast.

Playing with a friend brings out the best of this game. You work on learning the motion controls so you can earn stars and open new tracks. Driving dangerously rewards you by unlocking more areas, so this game is very fun as there are lots of options.

Wii Fit Is Fun

by Patrick Daniels

Wii Fit isn't really a game, it's an interactive program designed to help you move and track the time you do move. It leans into the fitness realm but it's not going to take the place of regular workouts and making good food choices. It will help you enjoy the time you work with it as it's an enjoyable way to move.

It starts out by using your Mii in the game and determines your size and weight. It then reflects its findings to your Mii. My Mii puffed up and got a lot chubbier than when I first designed it. It was a little depressing, but it was only supposed to help me visualize what I was trying to do. Then the game takes you through a series of exercises like walking and step aerobics and balancing and then you can unlock some fun little mini games like ski jumping and tight rope walking. These games all have something to do with balance and agility.

Most of the exercises are not hard, so that most people can participate, but that's not true of the yoga. It is fairly difficult for someone with no yoga background. As you choose different games it maintains a clock and memory of what you've done. As you participate in different exercises it opens more games and activities for you to try.

The board that comes with Wii Fit is used for many different things, it starts by doing the weight and balance thing. Then you use it different ways for different games, it's not to jump on but to stand and step. It measures your leaning in games like snowboarding, skiing and skateboarding, and if you're too far you'll crash.

There are some cool mini games on Wii Fit, but I think that my favorite is the ski jump, where you ski down a long ramp; keeping yourself centered on the board and then pushes off at the end of the ramp to get as much altitude and distance as possible. It is kind of addicting and I kept finding myself trying to break my own distance record. It actually has benefits because it replicates an exercise called a squat.
