Advantages: Playable, intelligent, addictive and challenging

Disadvantages: Not brilliant in 4 player mode but what the hey??

Take a Mario Kart 64, a pinch of the chill out room in Mau Mau Barcalona, a cold shower, a bunjee jump and an addiction that keeps you up all night and you have Wave race 64!!

Most racing games I play I like but this one is the next best thing to the real thing! The graphics and playability of this game are hard to beat but why?? Skimming across the water at 50 MPH using the joy to balance your weight is why. Once you have understood the dynamics of this creature you realise that slammin corners is never going to win you the race. Carving and weight distriution do. Using the beautifully rendered waves do. Understanding the sea . . is the key ; )

There is another thing though. Yes the game is fast and difficult to learn but you do not have to learn the tracks, you can see what is coming. The true skill is to drive and react rather than parrot fashion your track knowledge. This makes the game a favourite.

Sounds r excellent, like Outrun, catchy and right.

Watch yourself in multiplayer mode - with friends come a great challenge . . . but only one drawback - in more than 2 player mode one runs out of screen real estate and processing.

Trick school is a lot of fun, and great to learn tricks to amaze and impress your friends ; )

Why just win when you can win in style!!
