Which game provides the most fun ? 
Both have motion control...which one is better at this?
Both are short games....which one lasts longer?
One has split screen multiplayer, the other has online multiplayer.
One lets you use custom soundtracks, the other does not.
One has speed but last gen graphics, the other excellent high res graphics but sorta slow.

So which one is the better game?

I have not played Motorstorm, but Excite Truck is one of the first games where I have actually been challenged by the level of speed you can get. 50 star tree runs on a POW with the Wasp or Kodiac are insane.

Motorstorm looks like it tried too hard to be a sim off road game while staying an arcade racer.

Which game provides the most fun ?
Both have motion control...which one is better at this? excite truck, obviously, its using the wiis full motion, instead of the ps3s tilt.
Both are short games....which one lasts longer? motostorm has 8 tracks. exite truck has like, 20. and the difficulty gets rediculous at a point.
One has split screen multiplayer, the other has online multiplayer. cant compare these.
One lets you use custom soundtracks, the other does not. actually, both do.you put music on an SD card, and bam, you have a custom soundtrack.
One has speed but last gen graphics, the other excellent high res graphics but sorta slow. excite trucks graphics are actually really good for how fast it is.

So which one is the better game?

Motorstorm looks like it will be something that you can come back to every month even after you finish it because of all of the different vehicles , multiple paths , challenging AI , and crazy crash moments. If you can get online and enjoy it , that would make the legs really long.Entitlements are probably going to be patched in for Home, and a couple of modes and maps are coming in the future for download to breathe new life into it.

I think both games are terrific and do exactly what the company expects out of each one.

Excite Truck shows off the new controls and the gameplay for the Wiimote and Wii and Motorstorm does a great job of showing off the graphics and gameplay on the PS3.

They're both "introduction" games

I have enjoyed Excite Truck for awhile now, but now that MotorStorm is out, there really is no contest.

MotorStorm Simply offers more, and the Online is ICING on the Cake.

Of course, this is SW, so expect non-Manticore, Wii only and PS3 only responses littered in this thread.

Personally though, I'm not big into racers but in 8 years, no one will be talking about Excite Truck, but Motorstorm will be remembered into next generation. It's not the best of it's class, but it's a neat early gen game.

read the reviews on gamespot. I think its clear that motorstorm pleases the gamer on many levels, just not on the length of the game so i'd say motorstorm.

The GS Excite Truck review totally misses the point of the game.

It is nowhere near a "tech demo." I have put almost 40 hours into that "tech demo."

I strongly disliked Excite Truck and I dislike Motor Storm. But yes Motor Storm is clearly the better game.

As much as I'm a Sheep...Motorstorm is by FAR the better game overall. ET has better motion control, but everything else in MS is beyond it. Also, Evolution Studios said that they would include custom soundtracks if the demand is high. BTW, MS is not slow at all. You should play the retail version. It's fast and just right.

Yea i agree MS isnt slow. if it were any faster it would be way too hard to play you wouldnt be able to control the vehicles well, or keep from crashing every five seconds.

Online, Amazing Graphics, Easier to manage Custom Soundtracks...yeah, that about sums it up.

Online would be all that was needed though.

I've only played both at the store for a couple of minutes, but I thought Motorstorm was better. Excite Truck sucked really bad imo, but neither game was that appealing to me.

Which game provides the most fun ? 
Both have motion control...which one is better at this?
Both are short games....which one lasts longer?
One has split screen multiplayer, the other has online multiplayer.
One lets you use custom soundtracks, the other does not.
One has speed but last gen graphics, the other excellent high res graphics but sorta slow.

So which one is the better game?

1.motorstorm

2. They both use the same technology to steer, cause you only use the wii-mote for motorstorm (tilt)

3. Motorstorm has online which could last a while and has different vehicle types

4. Excite truck only lets u play against one other human player while motorstorm lets u face a lot which different types of vehicles

5. Really your choice

6. Motorstorm isnt really that slow and the graphics will really wow you. If you really want speed, get burnout

Final word: Motorstorm

QFT. there is no debate. i just need evolution to fix all of Motorstorms issues. then I'll be happy as a fat kid in at Cinnabon.
