Excite Truck vs Motor Stom

Just come across a strange comparison review at Tom's Hardware site - it is interesting that both games have similar game play hence the comparison.

Might as well compare boxer shorts to knickers, you can skid in both but one is for girls!

That was biased towards the Wii IMO. Trying to be subtle about knocking the PS3 I reckon.

I've only played Excite Truck, but that offered little longevity and I feel sure that Motorstorm would be the better game.

Crikey, that is a strange comparison.

Id say Excitetruck is a better game, although ive only played 15 minutes on Motorstorm.

I have both the Wii and PS3 and all i can say is motorstorm is 10 times a better game in every way possabe.

Hmmm... I don't really agree the review when it calls the Motorstorm developers lazy for only including 8 tracks. The attention to detail and design of the tracks must have taken up a lot of development time and play-testing.

It's a quality vs. quantity trade-off, rather than being down to laziness. Maybe Tom's Hardware should stick to hardware reviews?

ive played both and i got a lot more enjoyment out of excite truck

Read the review earlier confused about the controller issue as well, he said the wiimote was good but after a while he had pains using it and had to stop. With motorstorm he said you can use sixaxis but doenst work quite as well but you can always use the analogue sticks. So one is painfull to use after a while is better than one that offers you options in how you play the game?

Purely based on graphic alone?

Yes, purely based on graphics alone, we all know that you can't play a game if it has poor visuals.

You also can't play a game if you don't have a HD TV these days.

I thought we all knew this

I'm actually basing it on the fact that The Wii is a console that should only ever be played by girls and Grandmas around Christmas time.

Being a Wii owner with Excite Truck and not a PS3 owner I am in a good position to offer a completely unbiased opinion against the Wii.

Please feel free to take the above as seriously as you deem necessary.

I'm now off to write a comparative review of Gears of War vs Dirty Dancing.

LOL

Cant say ive ever even heard of Excitetruck as anything Wii related doesn't interest me in the slightest, Motorstorm however is without a doubt the jewel in the PS3's crown (early doors i know) Its seriously been a while since a game has got me coming back for more every 30 minutes after putting it down. Great game
