    As much as I loved the game, I hated it. What could have been is just that... could have been. Is it recommended? No question about it.

    i just wanted to drop a quick review for this game cos i'm missing it sooooo much right now and i think next payday i'm gonna run off and grab myself a gamecube and a copy of waverace and have a full nostalgasem because i genuinly think even with the quality of arcade racers available today that this is still one of my all time fav' racers and if you own a wii or a gamecube than its totally worth tracking down a copy but remember if its your first time playing blue storm try to stick with ricky cos he's the easiest character to learn the controles with :D… Expand

    This is an awesome game and still 5 years on from its release, it still has one of the best looking water environments found in games.

La Razza Canal will take A LOT of time getting familiar with. Once you finish the game though it is extremely satisfying.… Expand

    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 one else wants to play a game that they suck at. I wouldn't recommend this game. A good effort, but single player comes up short and multiplayer fails to redeem this game. … Expand
