Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild

Rainbow Studios?s sequel is bucking the trend and taking a turn a little away from the extreme.

Rainbow Studios?s wave racer is bucking the trend and taking a turn a little away from the extreme. Each course is set up like a giant theme-park ride with currents and waves; the technical time trial courses look like roller coasters; and the fun freestyle courses are enormous eight-story playgrounds with tons of hovering water pools an physically impossible structures. While the preview build revealed a game built on the classically tight Splashdown feel (only with lots more waves and trick combinations), a new arcade mode has been worked in for casual riders who don?t want to bothered with their center of gravity. Some niggling frame rate issues still need to be drowned, but otherwise, Splashdown is looking like a nice ride and a welcome alternative to Mountain Dew?attitude overload.
