I do this over at rllmuk with great success, and seeing as people here are saying people moan to much about games, i thought what better time than to use these threads to cheer everyone up a bit.
Each week i'll post a new thread dedicated to a game. Its called an appreciation thread for a reason too, to appreciate it, thats not to say you cant say bad things about the game, because you can but the threads will be here to praise the games.
Some games you may agree with me on, some you may not, but anyways i hope you enjoy.
Get Ready for the first race!! Watch the signal! ...3 2 1 GO! Wow you got a boost! Pass the red boys on the right!
Yes Wave race 64, the original and still the best ever jet ski game ever made! The graphics to this day are still fantastic. Bright and colourful with fantastic level design, theres always lots going on, lots of different routes, but most of all the waves. Wow, some are huge, they look real and they move realistically, the draw distance of them is a bit bad (due to the power of the n64) But you hardly notice it. Theres reflections in the water and the way the levels change, some start out misty and get clearer as you carry on, some get bumpier. The waves work fantasically, many are scripted, meaning you can jump over small walls, but it is these scripted waves that help you out.
The levels are extreamly well made, many with different routes and obstacles to avoid and it has an almost perfect difficulty curve. The way its all presented to is brilliant, you can almost imagine your there.
The handerling of the jet skis hasnt been bettered yet, not even the gc version can touch it, its slow yet fast, jerky, yet responsive, you have total control over what you want to do and where you want to go. Its just so much fun to play and there is not a single bad level in it.
But best of all you can ride a dolphin! And the music, subtle yet brilliant, remember the intro music? And some of the other music which was remixed for the gc version?
This is the best jet ski game ever, followed closely by wave race on the gc which handels the wether brilliently, but the controls, even after getting used to them, just seem to be wrong compared to this, yet you never know why.

Do we just compare wave race 64 against blue storm? hmmm I am sure there must be another one out there?? hehe
The music wasn't nearly as good though.
