We purchased this game for my 6 year old for his birthday. While he does really enjoy it, I think he is a little bit young yet. from Amazon.com One drawback is that you have to complete many many races in order to build enough stars (IOW points) to purchase the bots beyond the starting few that you get off the bat. Bots cost 2000 stars, 5000 stars, and up. For each race you get 100-200 or so stars based upon your skill and the race difficulty, so you can see that it may take 30-40 races before you can unlock another bot. Add in that you have to unlock about half of the bot colors that you can use plus an assortment or other "add ons" and it may take over 1000 races to unlock everything - not exactly for the faint of heart. from Amazon.com ExciteBots is a very fun game but gets pretty hard early in the game. The mini games are fun, but also pretty hard if you're looking to get a perfect score. from Amazon.com Excitebots: Trick Racing from Amazon.com ExciteBots is a great racing game with a hilarious personality. Racing is fast, exciting, and full of quirky jokes such as kicking a soccer ball into a goal or throwing darts at a target. from Amazon.com If you played Excite Truck, you'll have a fair idea of what to expect in this title, except now the racing is more frantic. I was able to get an S rank on the majority of the tracks while placing last--it's just a matter of mastering the plethora of tricks and mini-games. from Amazon.com I've kept my eye on this game for some time, not knowing if I should buy it or not. I didn't own a racing game for the Wii yet, so the idea of buying ExciteBots was very tempting (especially since it's a Nintendo title). from Amazon.com It works really well. The online mode is seamless as well and smooth. In addition there is head to head racing and a few others modes like Poker Racing where you try to make Poker hands as you race along the track. Don't be fooled. from Amazon.com Amazing. I loved the arcade feel of Excite Truck...but I never thought they would make a sequel. The sequel kept everything good (speed, crazy air, tricks) and added all sorts of random mini-game things that you do in the middle of the race. It's definitely sensory overload, but, if that's your kinda thing, you will love it. from Amazon.com This isn't just one of the Wii's best games, it's one of the best games I've ever played on any platform. Sizzling fast, it combines stomach-flipping roller coaster thrills with the insanity of Warioware. from Amazon.com
