    Aqua Moto Racing Utopia is solid. It’s the Wave Racer 64 of 2018. The game is easy for anyone to pick up and play. Even those who aren’t at all interested in racing will find enjoyment in the game. With a variety of different modes across 10 different tracks and the ability of online and split-screen play, the game includes the right amount of content to justify the price. Aqua Moto Racing Utopia is a game well worth the time and money. Don’t let this game pass you by!

Thankfully it does enough to scratch my itch but it does suffer with quite a few problems which ultimately stops it from reaching its full potential. Something that really surprised me about this game though was the amount of content it has. There is a huge amount for you to sink your teeth into and without a doubt you definitely get great value for your money. Speaking about the content it’s actually pretty good most of the time and I was impressed with the amount of variety the boats and the tracks you race on had. I will say though that the game is best enjoyed when played with friends because the AI can be an absolute nuisance at times thanks to the aggressive style that it has. You will also notice a few technichal issues along the way and whilst none of these issues are game-breaking they can still cause you to be frustrated from time to time. This is a shame because most of the mechanics in the game work really well and I was especially impressed with the water physics. The water reacts very realistically when racing and this made the game not only challenging but fun as well. I was also impressed with the controls that have been implemented and not once did I suffer with any problems. Instead the controls remained tight and responsive throughout, which is great. As you can imagine I was eager to try some stunts with these very good controls but unfortunately I was left a little disappointed here. The stunts just didn’t connect with me and the lack of variety meant that I didn’t tend to do stunts much because for me they just lacked style and in the end became boring. Another aspect about the game that lacked style and was boring was the presentation side of the game. Visually the game never does anything that makes it stand out and I must admit that the visuals did look very dated. Unfortunately the sound design didn’t do any better and in the end it ended up making the immersion levels dwindle because it can be quite lacklustre at times. At the end of the day as far as water racing games go it’s not a bad addition to the genre, but I’ve definitely played better games over the years. I will say though that they’ve managed to implement the basic mechanics extremely well and if it didn’t suffer with the problems it unfortunately has then it would have definitely got a higher score from me. That being said it does just enough to get a small recommendation from me.… Full Review »

Controls are great and the water simulation brings real immersion and a great feel to the racing. There are several tracks in different environments. I like that with the weather system the tracks can be played both in rain and sunshine. Controls are easy and intuitive and the difficulty is well balanced. This is a must buy!… Full Review »

    I think this game is pretty decent, it is a jet-ski racing game, it could have more customization options but it is pretty good
