Product description
-------------------
In ExciteBots players race around internationally located tracks
in the form of their favorite insect, amphibian or mammal themed
bot. Each bot has its own special abilities, which will serve
players well when they find themselves on the right terrain to
take advantage of these. As with pretty much any racing game, a
major goal is to complete the course at the highest speed
possible, but players are also tasked with performing stunts and
participating in mini-games. Players win bonus stars for crossing
the finish line sooner, but stunts, style and these mini-games
are as important as speed. For example: have you ever wished that
you could play poker while racing? Think you can toss a dart or
roll a ing ball while leaving the competition in the dust?
ExciteBots provides you with your chance.

. Gameplay
In ExciteBots: Trick Racing players race around internationally
located tracks in the form of their favorite insect, amphibian or
mammal themed bot. Each bot has its own special abilities which
will serve players well when they find themselves on the right
terrain to take advantage of these. As with pretty much any
racing game, a major goal is to complete the course at the
highest speed possible, but players are also tasked with
performing stunts and participating in mini-games. Players win
bonus stars for crossing the finish line sooner, but stunts,
style and these mini-games are as important as speed. For
example: have you ever wished that you could play poker while
racing? Think you can toss a dart or roll a ing ball while
leaving the competition in the dust? ExciteBots provides you with
your chance. Stars can be traded for a variety of goodies, like
new vehicles, tracks, icons and statues.
Control Schemes
The control scheme of ExciteBots is easy and fun. The game can
be played with just a Wii Remote or via the combination of a Wii
Remote and a Nintendo Wheel accessory/any third party wheel. The
2 Button on the Wii Remote controller is the . The + control
pad gives drivers a speed boost. Players turn the Wii Wheel
accessory left or right to steer, tilt the Wii Wheel in midair to
glide or to adjust pitch for perfect landings, swing the Wii
Wheel in circular motions around boost bars to build up speed and
press the A Button to activate items or to cash in hands in Poker
Mode.
Key Features
* The game takes the big-air thrills and simple pick-up-and-play
controls of ExciteTruck and ramps up the fun with a constant
barrage of funky challenges and mini-games performed at blinding
speed. Players shoot goals, throw pies and even play poker in the
middle of rowdy races around off-road tracks.
* Having your vehicles drive, walk or fly around the track
quickly is one thing, but it's more important to go around in
style. Players earn stars for huge jumps, cool tricks and daring
feats at high speed.
* Six players can race online* via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in
both Excite Race and Poker Race modes. If friends can't join
online, players can exchange ghost data via WiiConnect24 and
challenge their friends to outdo their most daring tricks.
* 2-player multiplayer versus mode featuring split screen display
is also available for local play.
Special Moves
Just as in ExciteTruck, drivers can hit blocks that morph the
terrain before their eyes and create ramps from which players can
launch mega-jumps. Players can for and swing around boost
bars or open presents that unleash a variety of wild items, such
as bottle rocket boosts or clacker mouths that chomp on other
racers to slow them down. Mini-Games
Now what about those mini-games. Do you know of any other game
that features high-speed robotic racers combined with ing,
poker, clown faces and sandwich making? Didn't think so, but how
do these game work?
* Soccer: Drive into the soccer ball and attempt to hit it into
the goal.
* ing: Drive through the pins and attempt to get a strike.
* Darts: Line up your bot and let the dart fly. Try to hit
bull's-eye in the distance.
* Clowns: Hit the clown in the face with a pie by throwing it at
just the right angle and speed.
* Sandwiches: Drive through the ingredients in the proper order
to make a delicious sandwich.
*Note that broadband access is required for online play.
