What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"In this young field of jet ski racing games, Splashdown is ahead of the pack. Easy to handle control, a decent trick system, and the all important water physics are down pat. A little more tuning and this jet ski will really be able to eat up the competition."
"Taking great care and development of the gameplay physics could be one of the hottest draws for this title... Rainbow Studios has hopes to provide up to eight other racers on the screen while you play to provide the feel of being in the middle of a massive race."
"Splashdown does a lot of things right. The graphics, especially the water, are extremely well done. The sound and controls are good. But it suffers from being too repetitive."
"Outside of its solid control, the game offers a wide assortment of camera controls to let you find the right view for your racing style... Splashdown's graphics are an excellent match to its control, serving up some of the best aliased graphics seen on the PS2 in a while."
"Splashdown is one of those games that successfully executes a number of different elements but, at the same time, doesn't take full advantage of the setting."
