I like this game. It has some great graphics and realistic boat handling on what looks like real water. Good job on that! Some of the power boats looks great. Good job on that! You have to win races to unlock new levels and buy new boats. Good job on that! But.... the only way to win races is to launch weapons on other racers and they will launch them on you. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. All in all this game is fun if you have plenty of time.It's worth a try.

I bought the game for my 9 year old grandson. He likes flight simulator, different race games, everything about cars, plains, space ships. I decided to try boat game and he loves it. Unfortunately I didn't play it. So, my opinion only rely on his. And as I see he doesn't want to get of computer.

I didn't know how to rate this, because I haven't been able to play it on my fast computer. There's a small chance it's on my end, but it's never happened before, so I thought I'd warn you.

After configuring my character screen, it hangs with "Access violation at address 000000000. read of address 00000000" error message. I have to Ctrl+Shift+Esc to get out of it. Contacted the software "support", never got back to me.

Another thing is, I don't think it will work with a gamepad, it's keyboard only. I cannot drive and accelerate with a keyboard, but some people can.
