So my current game obsession is "Wakeboarding Unleashed". Its filling up all the cracks in my spare time... which isn't much to begin with.
Its made by Activision -- the same guys who make the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series, and anyone who knows me knows that I'm a THPS addict. Seriously. Its kooky.
This game is very similar -- you can boardslide, do flip tricks, grab tricks, link your tricks, etc. And the controls are very similar, so if you've got the Tony Hawk controls wired, its an easy transition for your skateboarding-to-wakeboarding thumb-wrestling-dexterity.
Now I'm not saying "Wakeboarding Unleashed" is even cooler, but I will say there are some added challenges that make it a little more challenging and a lot of fun. The biggest difference is the rope -- the programmers have done a great job with the physics between you, the rope and the boat pulling you along. It really adds a whole new dimension to lining up and executing your tricks. And the game is gorgeous -- the water and water effects are really impressive.
I guess the game has gone over like a fart in church though, because its already on sale for cheap all over the place. If you're a Tony Hawk junkie who's already maxed out "T.H.U.G." and needs something to do until your next THPS fix, then I HIGHLY recommend you check you "Wakeboarding Unleashed".
