A total adrenaline rush! The control and physics are incredible. The graphics and sound are a superb treat! This is the first game I purchased for the N64 and is still my favorite...even after years of playing this game I have managed to find ways to set new course records! I've played the PSN Jet Motos (yawn), but Wave Race 64 RULES! PLEASE, Nintendo, make a sequel that will blow even this great game out of the water!
Very fun and realistic

Excellent Game. The graphics are totally awesome and realism beyond comprehension. Diffently worth the $$$. Stunt mode is great which allows the user to perform free style jumps, flips, and tricks. A must have for your N64 collection.
Great Game

Wave Race 64 is one of the best racing games I have played on the nintendo 64. Realistic waves and courses really "put" me in the game. A must buy!

I have played and watched this game for over a year and it has always been dull and boring. It is the worst race game I have ever played. It is only 2 players and their is no action. The only reason I would buy this game would be to look at the graphics, but otherwise, it's bad.
Great fun!

Wave Race 64 is an exceptional title for those of us burned out on shoot-em-ups. It offers excellent graphics and sound with great realism and humor. The race locations range from tropical islands to freshwater lakes to artic ice. The music (unique for each location) varies from new age and R&B all the way to some pretty outrageous 70's progressive rock. Different play levels are challenging, yet not overwhelming. The stunt mode is great fun, and the two-player mode is great for spouses, since players can choose (and personalize, with name) both male and female racers. This title, along with Beetle Adventure Racing, are always popular when friends come over to our house. Sometimes we even let the kids play. Wave Race 64 proves that a video game can be challenging and exciting without violence.

In my opinion Wave Race64 was not a very fun game.The objective is to race a jet ski in an arena and place between 1-3 to continue to the next round.In the game there is a time race,a stunt mode,championship mode,and warm up.Yes it sounds like an alright game but you can be the judge about that.I gave it 2 stars because of good graphics.

Wave race was the first game that I ever got. It has an amasing level of realisum. Like most racing games you are adicted to it at first but the glory wares off. With Wave race though though you will always have a special place for it. The two player mode is the best way to play.
Not so good for youngsters

I bought this for my 5 year old (who usually plays older games) but he played it a few times then got bored with it. He regularly rotates through his other games, so this is an exception. This might be a challenge for somebody older, but I wouldn't recommend it for a younger kid.
A Great Game

This is a great game and very realistic. You feel like you are really riding a jetski and you can almost feel the water too. There is a lot of variety and it is so much fun to jump over the ramps and try all the expert moves. I like being able to practice in Dolphin park before racing. Sometimes, though, I wish there weren't so many bouys you have to race around.
