Not the type of racing I enjoy!

There just seemed to be no point to this game. I did not like it at all.
I thought it was going to be a type of game where you would be able to get in a "ride" and see what it would be like. Boring!

Not as good as the other playstation game

This is ok for graphics.. the learning of the control is not easy and it was a un-realistic ride. I ski often and just did not feel comfortable. I bought the other Playstation jet ski game and loved it!!!

A good game

My advise: Don't buy this game, just rent it! This is a perfect game for a week-end, after a few days you get bored of it. The graphics are O.K and also the play, but is too short. The difficult level is, well, difficult and you are going to lose your patience very fast.

Best Water Sports Game Yet!

I rented this game again and again before I actually bought it. It is a great game. It has everything in my opinion. It has wicked courses, great graffics, and cool stuff to unlock and play around with. If you buy this game you will find yourself playing it for hours. This game is addictive it's so great! 5 STARS!!!!

Lots of Fun, Lots to Explore!

Highly recommended for the whole family. Easy instructions for tons of stunts, and visually stunning levels to navigate. Worth buying for your game library!

Suprisingly good

All right, I'll right this review. Its embarrasing to say this cuz I like the hardcore violence in games like Halo, Red DEad REvolver, Fable, and Red Faction. Its hard to say that this kiddie game is right up there with them. The graphics are incredible, the controls are smooth, the race tracks are cool (but the soundtrack sucks, I'm a Metal Maniac and this game has pop) and most of all, It's fun! This game is great for anyone who just wants to have fun.

This is my favorite game. It's so fun, because you go realy fast!!! My favorite person is Andy. You can do triple tricks. There is a lot of adventures.

Racin' on the water

First of all, this game is beautiful. The graphics in this game are incredible, and the detail in the water is perfect. Another great thing about this game is it's large selection of tracks that are all detailed beautifully. Some people don't really like the music choices that are in this game, but I didn't have a problem with it. To me, everything about this game is superb.

Please make a part 3.

Now this is what I call "cinematic racing".Sometimes,things happen that causes changes in the courses.In gold rush rapids,each time you enter the mine,you go through a different path.And you actually see how right before you eyes.There are 8 tracks in all.I think you should get this game.

Pretty water, but is it fun?

Yeah it's pretty fun.

But you know what bothers me most about this game? The trick system. Most of it is just button combinations, like in a fighting game. You don't feel much connection to the buttons you press and what the animations are doing. It feels a little too restricted and just not that thrilling. You can do a back flip but it's really slow - impossible to do two of them in one ramp. As far as barrel rolls, well, there are none. In Wave Race 64, they might not have been a big variety of stuff, but I was actually maneuvering the watercraft in the air. When I would land a double barrel roll I let out a big fat YESSSS. I never say "YESSSS" when I play this game. But yeah, the water is pretty dang pretty to look at. The rider models ain't too shabby either, although they all look pretty much the same. I wish the game had a freestyle mode where it focused on pulling off tough tricks. Even in free ride, I've tried to ramp around but everything seems pretty regulated. Things were in Wave Race 64 too, but all you needed was an imagination as well as a little creativity and you could take that game APART, LOL. But yeah, Splashdown's water is pretty dang pretty to look at.

Another thing is the music... It doesn't appeal to my taste particularly - but that's just me (I would have gone with a more generic aquatic sounding music that anyone could get used to). I wouldn't say that the game sucks for its music though. If you like Smashmouth and The Donnas (which I do not) then you'll be fine. Even if you don't, just turn it down low and it ain't so bad since you're distracted by the pretty water.

I don't want to give you the idea that this game sucks with all my nitpicking. There are a suprising amount of tracks, good control, unlockables, and secret shortcuts. It's worth getting for the price that it's selling at. Oh yeah, and one more thing - pretty water.
