My kids and I love playing the Wii and are always looking for good games that we can play against each other. We were fortunate to have received a good two player racing game for analysis called Excitebike: Trick Racing.
The fourth game in the Excitebike series, and the second on the Wii platform, Excitebots features a dozen funky bot racers in the form of mechanical insects, amphibians, and mammals. Excitebots: Trick Racing players race around internationally located tracks using their favorite bot which has its own special abilities. You progress thru the game by racing around the tracks at high speeds while doing tricks and performing stunts and playing mini games. The object is to earn stars. You can also earn extra/bonus stars by crossing the finish line sooner. The sooner you finish the more stars you earn so speed is important but so are stunts and style. The stars then can be used to buy a new bot, icons and statues.
Excitebots: Trick Racing can be played with either the Wii remote or the Wii Wheel. The game is awesome using either remote but in my opinion the Wii Wheel gives the game the real driving experience and feeling. 
After the game arrived at my house yesterday and my son realized what it was he stating the normal harassing hoping I would say yes. Since I could tell he was super excited to try Excitebots I obviously couldn’t say no. The game menus were pretty easy to navigate and once he created a profile for himself he was off to the races. The first thing he did was the training section so he could get familiar with the game and the controls. After he was pretty sure he knew how to play he choose the Bat bot and started racing. At first he didn’t do to well but once he had a few games under his belt he was coming in 1st and 2nd place regularly. When I asked Shaun what he thought of the game he said “Awesome”.
If a 6 year old thinks the game is awesome it must be. I did not get a chance to play but from what I saw I have a feeling I am going to enjoy this game very much. If you get a chance you can pick this game up online and at most major retailers for about $40.00. If you are looking for a quality 2 player race game with a nice bug bot twist Excitebots: Trick Racing is for you. Happy Racing!!!
I was lucky enough to receive the Personal Trainer:Walking for the Nintendo DS to analyse and let me tell you I was totally impressed. It was really easy to set up so you won’t be spending a lot of time trying to figure it out but instead you will be walking and getting closer to your fitness goal. Last night my daughter and I each put on the activity meter and hit the street. After our walk we came home to see our progress which was really easy to do. I am not a big walker for exercise but now that I have the Personal Trainer:Walking for Nintendo DS I will be. I also plan to wear the activity meter to work and thru out the day which will motivate me to take more walks around the office and take the stairs instead of the elevator.
