SPLASHDOWN IGN NOTE RESULT
--------------------------
Presentation
You´re going to love the ending movies.
Nice menu design and moderate load times.
8.5/10 (17/20)
Graphics
Best. Water. Ever. You´ll be mesmerized by
this game´s great looking water. If you´re nitpicking, you can complain about it only
running at 30 frames per second instead of 60.
9.0/10 (18/20)
Sound
There are some really cool licensed tracks, but they all begin to sound the same after a while.
8.0/10 (16/20)
Gameplay
Control is about as perfect as it could be and some of the track designs are amazing. A lot of the courses feel the same and the game could be helped by greater wave variety.
8.5/10 (17/20)
Lasting Appeal
All of the character endings are worth seeing,
the game´s challenging, there are a lot of tracks, and the multiplayer is fun.
9.0/10 (18/20)
OVERALL SCORE (not an average)
8.8/10 (17.6/20)

9.5/10 (19/20)
Lasting Appeal
You can plow through one character soon enough, and afterwards it´s sorta up and down. You should get a lot out of this, though.
