This game doesn't even deserve a star, it is a horrible game, there is no announcer which makes the game very dull just listening to music that is broken down into pieces, the blink 182 song on there "rock show" is edited, it cuts out about 1 minute of the song, probly more. The graphics are good and all, but they just needed to learn how to work with the game, and make it exciting, it is just very dull after 3 races of just listening to the same music over and over again, and no exciting announcer, like on SSX, or SSX Tricky

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 worth the time

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!!!

HUGE enhancements over the prequel, a FEW problems.

The huge 8 outdoor courses are disney like themed races that you race 3 laps on. And each course changes as you race in it. For example, new shortcuts and dynamited out for you in gold mine rush, the mechanical dinosaurs break down on the final lap. Ghosts and Ghouls overtake the village on that last lap, while on the first lap things are relatively peaceful in Haunted Mansion.

While those are cool, and the new waves are awesome. In this game you got, small chops, rollers, large swells, and a multitude of different simulated wave types like downhill currents, raging rapids, and even water jet streams that push you foward at blazing speeds. This game does have a few problems I am dissapointed with. Firstly, they have completely taken out the free camera control. I don't know about you but one thing I liked in the first splashdown was moving the camera down and slightly to the left to give me a real sense of speed while racing. You can no longer do that. The second you be, with all of the detailed things going on in the tracks, the frame rate seems to stutter a little bit. And Finally, the game has lost some of it's simulation feel to the sea-doos. When you used to be able to dig down into the water to make quick turns, when you push yourself into the water during turns your sea-doo doesn't feel quite as heavy as it did in the original splashdown. You can still go under water and pop yourself up mind you, I'm just talking about when you turn you don't seem to bleed enough speed hence taking away some of the simulation appeal of the first game.

All in all. I am really impressed with the new courses. But other than the major 8 courses I am impressed with. All of the 12 indoor and 20 outdoor (open ocean with simple barracades on the side of you) courses don't feel unique. I feel this game could have used about 20 less technical time trails and about 8 more major outdoor themed tracks. I don't think it is a terrible game at all. I think I just like the original splashdown better. I hope my thoughts on the game have helped anybody who agrees with me that some of those minor features that were taken away, really are and important element. This game is not worth the original retail price if you ask me.

Sound Problems Hinder Game

Don't get me wrong, this game is extremely fun and worthy of a 4 or even 5-star rating. Infogrames did a great job with this game and they can defiently say that Splashdown has the best looking water and water effects of any jet ski game to date, even better than Wave Race & Wave Race: Blue Storm. However, during producion there was a problem with the gold master for the game and every copy has horrible sound defects. Most are in the cinematics & cutscenes but it also happens during the actual gameplay. While racing the sound will begin to skip badly, or it will just cut-off right in the middle of a song. During cinematics the problem is so bad that on some discs your PS2 will sound like it's dying. There has been some talk of remastering and re-issuing the game, but I honestly doubt Infogrames will take enough responsibility to re-issue it, but I hope they do. If you are a serious gamer this problem not only gets really annoying but it can seriously affect the gameplay as well. Anyways, the game is really fun but I believe people should get what they pay for and not be subject to purchasing some half-[baked] product. Like they didn't know about the problem before releasing it.

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.

Pretty Good

A pretty decent racing game with excellent looking water. Great for a kid who's Mom yells at him about those cool games that have the T and M ratings.
