Truck Throw
Mar. 7th, 2007 12:35 pmI bought Excite Truck yesterday. I was looking for something to play on the Wii that would be good for my TV-watching, game-playing exercise time. I figured a racing game would be a good way to work at things without much distraction. But I figured wrong.
The game's very good, and it's been surprisingly easy to get a handle on, but there's just so much going on on the screen so quickly that it's hard to relax playing it. I guess that's why they call it Excite Truck. Sadly, I don't think it will translate to excitement on my stationary bike; currently, I'm too willing to stop pedalling so that I can concentrate more.
I'm also not sure I entirely know how different sitting positions will affect playing motion-sensitive games. If, for example, I lie down (which puts the top of the Wiimote more perpendicular to the ground than the expected parallel orientation), does that hinder my control? Time will tell. And possibly obsessive FAQs will also tell.
In other news, I really hope this game is out by Christmas so that I can give it to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
