Wakeboarding Unleashed

Soon you?ll get to experience the thrills that give pro wakeboarders their adrenaline fix.

Soon you?ll have the chance to experience the thrilling speeds, the bone-crushing impacts, and the insane tricks that give pro wakeboarders the adrenaline fix they crave. Wakeboarding Unleashed featuring Shaun Murray is coming to the PS2 and Xbox this summer.

Wakeboarding Unleashed showcases sizeable levels with tons of objectives and secrets to discover. Everything onscreen becomes a target for Sean Murray?s insatiable wakeboard. Each location comes with its own unique set of Challenges, Gaps, and Groove Objectives. The Rope Mechanics feature is brilliantly integrated into the game, allowing players the freedom to launch themselves into stealthily placed bonus areas and reconnect with the boat on the other side. While it isn?t quite as free form as Tony Hawk?s Pro Skater games, the added challenge of maintaining momentum keeps you on your toes. The dazzling water engine renders the all-important wakes, reflections, and foamy spray with detailed realism. At this early phase, however, character models still look rough and polygonal.

The controls work great for aerial tricks, but board sliding still feels unrefined.To cover up the tiresome drone of boat engines, Wakeboarding Unleashed lets players choose music from a play list that features songs from incredible artists like Iggy Pop, The Flaming Lips, The Pixies, and Pavement (the inclusion of ?Unfair? on the play list proves that someone at Shaba Games has extraordinary musical tastes). Wakeboarding Unleashed has perfected its chewy center, and with a little touch-up work on its chocolaty coating it will be primed to thrill extreme sports fans this summer.
