One must be careful when reviewing games for older systems, because even though other (read: NEWER) games beat the pants off of what came before (especially in terms of real-world simulations), you have to remember that when these older games were released, they may have been the best possible representation of a particular genre. This may have been the case with Wave Race, but given that there are now many other options, I would avoid this title. I can't say that I've actually seen a whole lot of watercraft racing games for the GBA or DS, but there have to be some, and if there's at least one, you can bet it's better than Wave Race for the original GameBoy. Still, for its day, this might have been a decent game... the gameplay seems acceptable, but I didn't bother playing it long enough to get much of a feel for it. The graphics were probably the best that could be accomplished, but it took a bit too much effort to keep reminding myself that the squiggly blob I was piloting was supposed to be a personal watercraft. If your only portable gaming option is the original GameBoy, or you just have an affection for those early "this is the best we could do" efforts, give it a try. Otherwise, find something else for the GBA or DS.Read full review
Wave Race is the perfect example of everything that was right about programming for the Nintendo Game Boy. The controls are easy to master, the graphics are pleasing, the sound effects are well-considered, and the gameplay is quite enjoyable. Wave Race offers the sort of replay value that made the Game Boy a fixture in millions of homes across the world at a time when handheld cartridge-based gaming was in its infancy. If you have two copies of this game and the game-link cable (search for Nintendo DMG-04, I believe) you can play two player sessions. This one was one of my favorites, and represents the best this particular genre has to offer. I would rank it in the top five Game Boy games created, along with Super Mario Land, Nemesis, Tetris, and F1 Race.
