I should be gettin a wii soon (ive decided on it over a 360) and along with wii sports which obviously comes free, and Zelda which you just cant buy a wii without getting, im wondering whether my seocnd game should be excite truck or ssx blur.

I was quite surprised in seeing excite trucks badish reviews (except ign who have it a 8.0) because it just looks so damn fun but so many people have been saying that it has no replay value whatsoever i started to research other titles.

I came across SSX Blur and followed to hype for a while up to release (The graphics are amazing for a wii game, ive seen worse on 360) and this game definetly seems to last longer but im not sure how much fun it will be.

I realise both games( especially blur) have a learning curve and im not some immature 12 year old who says the game is crap because they arent gods on it in 20 minutes

Basically i need hep in deciding and please dont say both because i dont think i can afford it:).

Thanks in Advance

I can't really help you there I'm afraid, all I can say though is that I think SSX blur will probably last you longer than Excite Truck as far as I know. Maybe someone else has a better view on the games ;)

I've got Excite Truck, it is not a bad game, but it is nothing to write home about.

I'm getting SSX Blur this afternoon.  Based on how much fun the SSX games have been in the past, I would say it is probably a better choice. :)

To be honest, I like blur alot better. It is an extremely difficult game to learn but once you do you will experience the magic that is the Wii-mote. Excite Truck is alot better for just pick up and play, and will be much more enjoyable with your friends (as Blur will simply be to crazy hard for them), but blur is a much more in depth, and ultimitely a more enjoyable and satisfying game in my opinion. Both show off the Wii capabilities nicely, but blur just does it more.

Yeah i got blur a few days ago and it definately is my favourite of the series, i dont think that i would trust the review it got from here as it is a difficult game to master, one of the very few games for the hardcore atm, u will defo enjoy if u get it. But then i havent played excite truck so i cant really compare.

I have both these titles and although i ahve only had SSX since thursday i have already played it more probably than Excite Truck. Don't get me wrong Excite Truck is a lot of fun but it is easy and gets quite boring. SSX however is quite challengeing.

I would give excite tuck 5.5/10

I would give SSX 6.5/10

Wow, how can anyone say anything bad about Excite Truck? That game is a hell of a lot of fun. Once you have the controls down and learn how to do some of the tricks, the game is a blast. That game is still fun for me to play. But then again, I have nothing but good things to say about SSX Blur as well. The controls take a bit longer to get down and I'm still learning how to do the tricks, but it is a lot of fun. It's hard to pick which one is better. Although since you're new to the remote, I'd say start off with Excite Truck. I got the game at launch, it goes perfectly with Zelda and Wii Sports.

Excite Truck is fantastic game. It is short, but its gameplay is so much fun that I cannot stop playing it! Flying through levels, hitting ground only occasionally for a little more turbo is addictive and crazy. I normally don't like to put own music into games, but in racing games it's fantastic addition and really hits the spot in this game.

I haven't played SSX blur so it's a little bit hard to answer. But excite truck is good. SSX looks cool so it must be a hard decision.

I have both games and personally I like Excite Truck more. The game is severely underrated. Most places rated it low because there is "little to do", but honestly unlocking every truck, track and difficulty takes a while. Also the game is quite fun and is enjoyable as a pick up and play type game. SSX blur on the other hand is the only Wii game that I haven't really gotten into. The game is fun and I have no major beefs with it, however it lacks the ability to keep me playing for an extended time, or to get me to play it again.

SSX is longer, less repetitive, has more replay value (3 peaks, 275 ubertokens, 20-30 challenges, 15-20 events (I don't remember the actual numbers), 4 outfits to unlock for each character), and is the overall better game (IMO).
