Bad game!!!!

The graphics are ugly and unrealistic, and the racers don't look like real people. Not as good as splashdown or wave rally! It's not really that fun, except for the tricks. It looks like it could have been made 8 years ago! Nintendo's games are always really lame, little-kid type games, so i wouldn't recommend this for anyone above age 8.

Fun Game

The game is very good. I played the Japenese verson. The graphics wre not the best. I have seen better. Maybe because it was the Japenese version. Don't know.

This game is really annoying. You have to go around these hoops and that is one of the worst part about this. If any of you haven't reaserched or played this game, you shouldn't have wrote a review because you don't know anythin about this game

UUH u morons k

This game is sooo anoying for a lot of diffrent reasons. First, in order to lose you have to go around these things. If you go around them for 5 times without going around them. This game is very weird. THe graphics aren't that good. Let me comment that you people who haven't reasearched about this game OR have played it are jerks. Why should you write a review if you haven't reasearched it or if your freind told you. You people are jerks who do that.

NO FUN GAME....GRAPHIC SORRY

GAME CUBE IS NOT SO POWERFUL....PLUS PS2 will be more power when the hhd and expansion bay come out and xbox is already more powerful than the gamecube. XBOX FOREVER...XBOX...THE FUTURE OF GAMING!!!!!!!!!!

It's Good But If You Want Awesome Water Games Get Xbox

This game has good water effects but the Xbox water in most of its games make Wave Race look like a dreamcast game. (Dreamcast is a fine system but its old).If you want incredible water effects get an Xbox it costs more but its worth it.



What a silly game

This game came bundled with my Luigi pack. Racing games aren't my cup of tea, but this isn't even a good racing game. The racing environments seem a bit small and uninteresting.
A few good points: the graphics overall are great. The water seems very real, and the integration with the rumble effect on the controller is very good. Crashing is hilarious: the nastier the accident, the funnier it seems. And no matter how brutal, the players dutifully get back up on the wave runner without complaint.

Only Good for the Multiplayer Mode

This game has great graphics and is great when you have a sibling to play with, but otherwise, it gets old after a while and is fustrating. The courses are okay, but are extremely fustrating since there are many things to crash into. Also, there isn't that much to unlock in it. Overall, you should only rent it unless you have friends over often.

Bad game

I'm not a big fan of racing that doesn't involve four wheels, so when I had the chance to play Wave Race 64 for the Nintendo 64, I was pleasantly surprised at the game play. It was pretty fun, and although I never bought it, it was worth a rental or two. When I saw that Wave Race: Blue Storm was included with my GameCube bundle, I thought it might be more of the same. Unfortunately, I was right - it was pretty fun, but probably only worth a rental or two.

The gameplay isn't much different from Wave Race 64, with one major exception. The racing concept is the same as before. You race other contestants on tracks, finishing high enough unlocks other tracks, and so on, although it's expanded in this game. One nice touch is that when you are racing in championship mode, you get to choose the order in which you race on the first few tracks, and weather plays a factor - waves can be higher and visibility poorer during rainy weather than during a sunny day, so you have to decide whether to race on the easy track during the rain, to balance things out, or gamble that you won't need a top-three finish on the last track and wait till the end.

In addition to the championship and time-trial modes, there's also a stunt mode, similar to the SSX series, where you do tricks to earn points. The problem is that SSX does it much better, although in Blue Storm's defense, snow lends itself to tricks more readily than water does. Blue Storm doesn't have trick books, costumes to unlock, or anything like that - you just go around the course doing tricks to get a high score, so there's no real incentive to play over and over again.

Ultimately, that was my verdict on the game. It was fun to play for a bit, but without a compelling reason to replay the courses, once you've unlocked a series, there's not much of a reason to go back and play again. This may be more fun for multi-player competition, but I'm looking for games that are fun for one player as well, and Wave Race: Blue Storm just couldn't provide the replayability that SSX Tricky does.
