That ExciteBot review incident really pisses me off, having played the game all night last night and enjoying it.. he didn't even finish the fucking school cup to access the online?
For those of you that havent played it:
That means he played LESS THAN 5 RACES and reviewed the game.
You start the game, you set up your profile (which you use later to go online) with an icon and everything, then its a quick tuturiol. That alone takes no more than 5 mins. After the stupid tutoriol you unlock the "School Cup" which is basically an extension of the tuturial. Theres 5 levels and each introduces you to a new mechanic of the game, during a race. Such as "Turn your wii remote in sync with the motions of your Bot on screen to launch off the Red Spin Bar. Successful launches give you more Stars plus a Turbo Boost!" and then you go on to race, while trying out said game mechanic. You do this 4 more times with different mechanics thrown at you and you've just completed the "School Cup" which unlocks WFC Play as well as VS Excite modes. Anyone familiar with ExciteTrucks knows that the levels are timed as well, usually no more than 3 mins per race, but the race can usually be won in 2.
If the reviewer didn't even unlock the WFC option, ie didnt complete the School Cup, she/he didnt even put 15mins into the game....
