UPCOMING EXCITE TRUCK 2

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VANCOUVER, B.C., April 21, 2007 – Lack racing games on your Wii system ?

Excite Truck 2 is on the way.

As every multiplayer addict asked for it, Excite Truck 2 will have an online multiplayer mode : up to 6 players, with Mii dispay. According to Nintendo's privacy policy, the "friend code" system will be applicated. A lot of online options will be available.

A bunch of new tracks will be playable with 8 environments, among which the brand new couple of tracks taking place on the Moon. Be sure that you will take a flight at low gravity !

The "Stars" system during the race is still there, and you will have to master two new tricks : frontflip and backflip. Those who already played Excite Truck can easily imagine the way they will be able to perform these tricks !

With your "Stars", get some "Excite Points" to upgrade your truck to an amazing monster of steel an power !

The graphics will be improved, with better visual effects and shadows. We even implemented several ambiances to every track, like dawn or sunset.

The two sreenshots linked below were taken from a beta version, but they already show the global quality of the game.

Is that meant to be a press release? Because it's riddled with spelling mistakes and just plain-awkward sentences...

Link please? Otherwise, the release isn't convincing in the slightest. Tighten up the graphics on level three and the spelling throughout this thing.

That is definitely not a press release. For at least the reasons you just specified.

No link, no screenshots.

Yeah it's fake. I'm really sorry, I guess I as too EXCITEd.

Did you just make that BS up? Or can you link to the fake source?

Wouldn't mind to have some more confirmation though.

Online is nice and all, but I'm extremely happy we're getting a sequel, no matter if it was online or not. :)

WOW, didn't take them too long to announce this one !

Anyway it wont take them long to release it, they just have to finish the first one.
just kidding !! don't shoot !
:lol

And Wow at the 6 PLAYER online, that's gonna be totally awesome, for a game that lacked multiplayer functions this is a great example of learning from your mistakes.

Can't wait :)

(The PR is quote "strange" though, source ?)
