Waverace
Game by Nintendo
Review by The Avardancer
Size: 2 Megabits
Save: Battery
Released: 1992
Works with: Any version of Gameboy

Opening Snide Remarks: This isn't like the N64 version; it's the original
game. In other words, the N64 version is a sequel to this game. And the two
are completely different from each other. This game also supports the
4-player adaptor for Gameboy.

Gameplay: A mite tough, the computer cheats, and it's akward driving around
those bouys. The power-ups make little sense and the Turbo button is a
needed tool. But, there's two types of gameplay modes and a lot of tracks. A
practice mode is included and is the best part of the game.

The game also features a four-player, two-player mode as well. The game
requires you to pass each of the little "bouys" that you encounter on a
certain side. If you fail to do that; it's game over. You must also come in
either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. The game plays a little like a watery "R.C. Pro Am";
but not a s much fun. :(

Graphics: The graphics are small; but they do the trick. You can see your
opponents, and the water, buoys, etc. The graphics blur a bit on a normal
Gameboy and they really are not at all impressive in any way. The game is a
little sparse graphics wise; as there's lots of water and not mucj detail in
that.

Sound: Annoying engine drone. Turn down the sound.

Music: A little music is in the game; but it's annoying and another good
reason to play with the volume OFF!

Play Control: Tight and fantastically realistic. For example; when you hit a
ramp; hold the control pad in the opposite direction of the way you are
facing to pull the machines nose upward to fly farther.

Final Analysis: The four player Game link game is the bomb; but the one
player modes are a little stale. Buy it if you have friends and the gear for
some fun four-play! (Umm. four-playER.)
