Blood Wake

THE GOOD:
Nice water and damage model effects, and a decent multiplayer.

THE BAD:
Realistic, but annoyingly slow and sluggish. The horrible speed, accelaration and the manouverability of the combat boats, coupled with the fact that they can't fly (I'm being serious here) leaves for a rather unsatisfying experience.

SUMMARY:
Blood Wake is an X-Box exlusive game, so therefore you'd expect it to be pretty good. And it is. Its like the popular Rogue Squadron games, but on water. Its a good idea and it comes across very well.

The water effects, whilst not quite up to the standard of Waverace: Blue Storm (or even waverace 64) on the Gamecube (and N64), Blood...

THE GOOD:
The good part about this game is the water effects. The water effects are the best thing in the whole game. You can see your water tail waves and you can see splashing and you even get effected by other people's tails. It is really good. The game is also action packed too! Maybe even a lil too much which i will get to for the bad.

THE BAD:
The bad is that the story line is stupid. There isnt really a good story line but there is action so that is good. There is a little too much action at one point in the game especially late in the act 2 you have to go to the Jade Base and blow up these freighters. Well you have these land guns blowing your fricken head off. They have like rocket launchers that are about to put a hole in your boat half the size of your boat. Then, some of the controls are bad because when you go to press forward, sometimes it has like an Idle/Go mode thingy and you cant turn it off and when you are...
