Wanna get wet?

Better cinch the straps on your life vest tight because this sequel is a wet, wild ride and greatly improves on nearly every aspect of the game. Just like every other racer out there, you pick your ride, upgrade the performance and unlock hidden tracks. But the beautifully rendered water effects and “real feel” of the high jumping jet skis gives this game the nod.
