Wakeboarding Unleashed Featuring Shaun Murray

"A wake boarding game on gba?and good?"

Intro
I never expected a Wakeboarding game on the gba, on a hand held to be more specific, but at last the game is really good is almost the same concept of the THPS(and the same company Activision O 2) games but is a breath a rest of the skateboard.

Extreme Sports / Wakeboarding

Game play 10 / 10
The game as all the extreme sports game consist in complete the all objectives on each level / stage, you can improve the status of your player such as jump, balance, hang time, turning, spin, manual and landing. According to the objectives you complete you can unlock new levels and secrets will be unlocked. This game is pretty cool, and actually a rest from those skateboarding games that were infesting the Gameboy Advance console. The game count with the single session mode where you can improve your skills or just make the best score and the Balloon Burst Mode this mode consist in burst all the balloons in the level/stage. Also you can play with a friend to see who is the best.

Graphics 8 / 10
It has a really good graphics, it was a surprise for me a wakeboarding game with this graphics, the graphics are not perfect but they are good.

Sound 7 / 10
This game has really good sound effects, from the jump to the spins the game sounds really good, the game don’t sound real but don’t sound so fake.

Music 9 / 10
The music even thought is the same track on all the levels sounds good and don’t bother in the ears.

Replay value / Finish time 10/10 7/10
The game can be replayed about seven times beating the game with each one of the seven characters available. The finish Time is at least 1 hour and half(with one character) , is easy at the start but turns a little hard at the end, but don’t think the fun ends here you must beat it with all characters.

Pros
The games is fun and makes you continue playing and is a new type of game for the gba and make you take a long time to get bored of it.

Cons
The game is a little bit easy and there are scanty levels.

Final word:
If own a gba and you want a good and fun game you must own Wake Unleashed, you going to have a lot of fun trying to break your own records or beating your friends.
