Do you reccomend it and why?

Getting a Cube VERY soon and I'm stuck about which games to get, it is quite frustrating. loved Wave Race on the 64.

I hate that bloody track...the controls take a while to master but once I completed Luigis Mansion I got down to WR and I'm finally on the expert mode :D

I love Southern Island and Aspen Lake, both excellent with stormy weather

What I said. If you don't have any patience this game aint fro you, if you do and you master the controls (Tip: Use the "Lean" feature) then it's one hell of a game!

A review by IGN said that once you get use to the controls the game is excellent and it has been put down by other reviews because they didn't get to grips with it.

Challenging controls are a challenge (obvouisly) and so improvbe the gameplay and lastabilty.

So that rules.

EYYY Vottanator how dare u imply that the gameboy waverace was not that good , It was brilliant on my old Chunky black and white Gameboy (Now respectfully called 'The classic') And it had that excellent loser song 'nah nah nah nah nah nah <---(It came when u lost obviously)

I got this yesterday. I loved it on the N64!

Anyway, it does feel quite different to Wave Race 64. The handling is REALLY difficult to get use to but I'm sure it'll get great when I do amster the controls. It's still fun to play but it's just not as good as the original so far. But rest assured, it's better than the GameBoy version. :-D

Rogue Leader is certainly better.

Whats everyone moaning about --->
Waverace controls are designed to mimick the real thing which is hard as *7^% to get to grips with so there ,I think waverace is a stunner.An absolute classic that more than matches its legendary predessesor!!!!<--Wuse words from the Tiga.

Hmmm...

It's hard and frustrating, but when you master the comntrols (Which are like real jet-ski controls, hey, you wanted realism!) you start to enjoy it. Before then though, you WILL be throwing down your pad in frustration. If you can persevere and conquor the learning curve, you WILL enjoy it.

once you get over the learning curve the game is amazing. i admit the controls are quite hard to get used to, but you just have to get used to the tracks and learn to use the shoulder buttons more effectively. once over that you'll relish the opportunity to ride some massive waves, and ramp up the difficulty
