Wave Race was introduced to the public as one of the Nintendo 64's launch titles. Launch titles make and brake machines, and so a primary objective for companies is to only release a machine when it has a suitable amount of good titles to back it up and show it off. To this extent I think Wave Race succeeds and fulfills its role perfectly. The ...  Read the complete review

I purchased 'Waverace' 64 a couple of years ago from Electronics Boutique, as it was on sale. It cost me a pathetic £12 and was worth every penny. To pay £12 for such a great game, certainly surprised me, as I thought it was on sale to shift it out of the shop. It certainly surprised me when I played it, as I was expecting a rubbishy, ...  Read the complete review

Wave Race 64 is an unusual game. When it first came out it was (as far as I know) the first modern Jet Ski game. The graphics are very good - the water looks so real you`ll swear you`re getting wet! the idea of the game is that you are controling a Jet Ski. There are a variety of things you can do ranging from just riding it round and ...  Read the complete review

Wave Race is limited in its retro format of a few tracks and only two player capabilities, but what makes this one of the best sports sims going is the totally amazing is the outstanding graphics and super slick controls. Wave Race takes a while to get used to because of the jet ski-ing on water aspects, but as soon as your a master with the ...  Read the complete review

Wave Race was the N64’s only racing game until Mario Kart 64 came out and was an instant hit and has recently put into Nintendo’s Player’s Choice range meaning the game was a classic and is now being sold for under £30. The game itself has great water effects and plenty of stunt’s to keep you occupied for month’s. ...  Read the complete review

This game takes you into the wonderful world of jet skiing and it does it well It is one great sports game from nintendo it has a stunt game and a racing bit. The one thing which did dissapoint me was the fact that you couldent play two player stunt games. Though you can play two player racing an that is excellent it is one of those games from ...  Read the complete review

An utterly unique racer, the news that a sequel to the genre-breaking Wave Race is being developed for the Gamecube is wonderful. I recall playing this when I first owned an N64, and being taken aback by the unique feel of the racer, and the relatively (in a world full of driving games) unusual handling of the jet skis. The graphics are ...  Read the complete review

Waverace 64 was one of the first games I played when I got my N64 all those long years ago - and I still remember being blown away by the graphics when I booted it up. I know the N64 is getting on a bit in terms of gaming technology, bt it can still hold it`s own in my opinion. When you first boot the game up and see the Jetski`s racing ...  Read the complete review

This is a very good game while it lasts. Firstly, I have to mention the unbelievably realistic wave effects, which have never been bettered since. The waves really effect the way you play, although the real big waves that you will send you flying are too few and far between. However, this is a brilliant twist on the racing genre, and ...  Read the complete review

This game is over four years old and doesn't have any cars in it but I'd still rate it as one of the best racing games available on a home console. In the same vein as the excellent '1080º Snowboarding' and the forthcoming (but, I have heard, also excellent) 'Excitebike 64', 'Wave Race 64' is based very ...  Read the complete review

One of the most enjoyable racers on the 64. This game looks beautiful and is a lot of fun to play. There are some great levels on which to race. The stunts are quite easy to pull off and you will find yourself pulling them during races for fun. The 2 player mode is excellent with no real problems to get in the way of racing. The only mode I would ...  Read the complete review

Wave Race 64 was one of the first games released for the N64, and it is still one of my favourite racing games. You race against three competitors using jet skis, over eight tracks. Although there are only three competitors, the races can be tense as on the higher levels it really does feel as though you are racing against intelligent opponents. ...  Read the complete review

I love this game. The graphics are great with super water effects and well produced jetskiis. There are two main options stunt mode and tournament. In stunt mode you are able to go on any one of the nine courses avaliable choosing one of the four riders each having different charcteristics. Your aim is then to gain as many points as possible in ...  Read the complete review

The times that I spent playing this game where some of the most fun that I have had on my N64. The Jet Ski's handle like a dream with realistic handling and turning. The water is supprisingly life like as well. With excellent little details on the levels like waves and barriers make the game a bit more interesting that a simple track race. The ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

The water effects in WaveRace are so good that you'd better go to the toilet before you start playing! The controls are intuitive and easy to pick up, and allow you precision control over your rider. Like 1080, WaveRace allows you to do tricks or race, but racing is by far the more fun, especially in the two player mode which suffers ...  Read the complete review
