    When I first started it up I was amazed by the graphics and the game play. But there is something missing. Maybe its because there isn't enough tracks or the stunts mood is very shallow but after a while, even before I beat the game, I didn't feel like playing it anymore. Plus, the crafts take to long to learn how to control. This really hurts it in multiplayer mode because no When I first started it up I was amazed by the graphics and the game play.

    This is a really fun game. It's definitely better than the original Wave Race. Sadly, it never got a price drop in stores. The physics feel right and the controls are tight.

    It’s a great laugh in 4-player and the 1-player Championship mode is well tough to beat.

    Not only is it the most beautiful racing game we’ve seen since SEGA’s "Ferrari F355 Challenge," but it’s also more playable—amazingly—than "WaveRace 64."
