  • Summary: Inspired by the spectacle and excitement of theme parks and thrill rides, SplashDown Rides Gone Wild has you blasting through huge, imaginative locales with amazing sights and startling events around every corner. Splashdown's famously beautiful water has evolved as well: bigger waves, swift currents, and treacherous downhill rivers. There are also plenty of tricky, technical indoor stadium courses, plus a freestyle stunt mode, an all-new technical time trials mode for hardcore racers, and more. [THQ]… Expand

    There's also a ton more to this game than the original. More tracks, more modes, more riders, more everything. [Sept 2003, p.101]

    Has the technical style of their earlier racing games to make for a fun, well played racing experience, and it has the necessary personality to make it more interesting than other typical racers.

    I've never seen a game with such intolerable loading times. [Oct 2003, p.142]

    The gameplay is pretty fun, just like the original. The course themes, while generic, are exciting and fun. But, the load times are ridiculous. You'll spend just under 30 seconds starring at the loading screen every time you play. That's just unacceptable and seriously drags down on the fun. They could have at least halved that time by making the disc dvd format, but instead they were cheap. I'd give it an 8/10 if the loading wasn't bad.… Expand
