* Weather and time of day
plays a huge role in Wave Race: Blue Storm, as untamed
nature challenges you to
the max with glaring sun, shadowy moonlight, whipping rain,
blinding fog, clouds, wind,
snow and more. Wave Race: Blue Storm’s fully interactive
environments mean that in
a big storm, you may have to cope with waves taller than
Shaquille O’Neal while eluding
crates tumbling from a freighter. Water drops on the screen
and crystal-clear sound
add tremendous realism to a game that’s truly immersive.
* Each rider is rated for
acceleration, top speed, maneuvering, stunt skill and strength.
While riders with good acceleration
and maneuvering are ideal for short, quick bursts
through closely spaced buoys,
riders with lots of strength should just try to run over rivals.
Bump against a rival and
you’ll automatically kick them into the water. Ah, but watch out
for those buoys that have
been cleverly placed by Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto!
* Wave Race: Blue Storm offers
five modes. Take on all comers and unlock new tracks in
the single-player Championship
Mode. In Free Roam Mode, you can scout the waterscapes
and discover shortcuts without
having to worry about a clock, buoys or rival riders. Trick to
your heart’s content in
Stunt Mode. Race your ghost (which takes the form of a bright
yellow helicopter) and top
your best time in Time Trial Mode. Finally, put the pedal to the
metal against as many as
three friends in Multiplayer Mode.
* Championship Mode offers
four difficulty settings. Clear the Dolphin Park course on the
easy Exhibition setting
and you’ll be able to race for five consecutive days at Normal
setting, six consecutive
days at Hard and seven consecutive days at the extremely
challenging Expert setting.
* In Stunt Mode, your dual
challenge is to race through a course as quickly as possible
while completing jaw-dropping
backflips, can-cans, nac-nacs, heel clickers, barrel rolls,
handstands and more. Catch
suborbital air off ramps taller than a tsunami. You can even
leap off a ramp or wave,
plunge underwater and submarine beneath docks, bridges and
other surface obstacles.
