REVIEW: Water Sports 3 cert, Avanquest Software Publishing, Wii ***

The Wii has opened up gaming to a wider audience, with titles such as Wii Sportsand Sports Resortenticing new players to take up the controls. No w Water Sportshas its own title on the Wii. This game transfers the fun of water sports to your living room and even brings the balance board into play – although it's not essential – for kite surfing, wake boarding, windsurfing and watercraft racing in exotic locations around the world.

Water Sportsis a decent enough title. There are interesting gameplay aspects, such as a two-player mode that allows one player to steer the boat while the other controls the wakeboard. It's a great example of how co-operative play can work in games: the boarder relies on the driver to set them up properly for jumps.

There isn’t a whole lot of depth to Water Sports. Like other sport titles before it, it’s easy to pick up and just as easy to put down. Perfect for a quick dip in and out of gaming.
