When I brought this game, I was pretty much expecting to be able to pick it up and jump right into, because of my past experiences with the 64 version. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong .... not that it is a bad thing. The mechanics in this game are very different from the 64 version, but it ending up being for the best, as it often an increase challenge.
GREAT GAME -- Not a clone of the 64 version
My son thinks this is a fun game and has played it several times. Dad has trouble steering and getting the hang of it. I think for those with experience with these types of games, it is worth it. Probably not for older novices. -- Wave race game
best water physics in a jet ski game so far. but too many missions were directly modeled after the earlier wave Race N64 prequel -- best water physics in a jet ski game so far
Honestly, I did. But not in the beginning. When this game was at the pique of my interest, I enjoyed it as much as the first.
The first, however, the music I believe was more memorable.
And it was "sunnier". I'm a pretty upbeat person, but I'm also real.
That may sound like it adds nothing to the review, but when I played the first I liked the sunny levels, to only get the drearier and "more complex-musically" levels once in a while in between.
If I recall correctly, this game had more dreary levels, which was fine but something about the first games' levels, "Sunny Beach", "Dolphin Park", etc, etc, were a bit better. Maybe it's because I played the first first. Maybe not.
The music was much brighter and "poppy" then (if you will).
This game does do some things better however:
-character amount grew from a measly 4 to 8.
-the graphics are better. duh.
-the rumble made it more realistic.
4.25 stars.
End note: Now this is what I call an underrated game. Maybe an underrated series. NO ONE that I knew could handle these games like I could. No one wanted to. And if they did, they were too young, like a cousin...So I played both alone.
The first wasn't rumble-enabled like Star Fox 64, was it? -- I enjoyed this almost as much as the first (when the first first came out).
This game is got to be the best water game out there in my opinion. You have so many options to go in, and I think it's overall fun. When I got this game I found myself playing it for about 4 to 5 hours straight. I got into this one alot. At first the controls were alittle tricky to learn all the moves and stunts but then I got the hang of it quick. It's not hard, they take you step by step on how to use the controls for moves and stunts right on the game and you can go into it when ever you want. The free roam is great, and the stunt mode. The racing is fantastic. All the modes are great. You can even choose what location you want to ride in. My favorite is Dolphin Park. Especially in Free Roam Mode because the Dolphin follows you where ever you go. The graphics on it are way cool. I have alot of fun with this game. It truly is the best water game out!!!!!!! And it's really fun with 2 or 4 players. It's Great!!!!!!!!!!! -- AWESOME GAME THE BEST WATER GAME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
