I like it, but it's really, really annoying that you can't choose your tricks. As far as I can tell, there is a set order to the tricks and the only way to get through them is to not fall.

is it realistic at all?

Not really. It's very cartoony, but that's how all Wii sports games are.

I had fun playing. For about an hour.....

It's fun for the novelty.

It's no Wakeboarding Unleashed Featuring Shaun Murray. But as wakeboarding on a console goes - they gave it a try. It is fun, and I'd only encourage them to experiment more with the sport in video games.

Fun fact: Wakeboarding Unleashed Featuring Shaun Murray was NOT a huge seller, but was very very well received critically.

I could see the gaming industry revisiting the sport. I'd want EA to do it, in the Skate. or SSX style.

When are they gonna come out with a good wakeboarding game. Ya know kinda like the game "skate". Somethin just really realistic and somethin that makes you want to go out and wakeboard!!!

I really liked Murray's game. The only problem was that it didn't have enough open space to just do wake tricks. There were too many obstacles. But I'm just nit picking.

yeah I know what your talking about. It was so stupid how you could just do like a double backroll into a board slide on top of a house boat.. hahahaha

I would be pissed watching the boat make all of those turns! What happened to a decent pull that just runs straight?!?!
