Play Overview
To play you traverse vast swaths of land and sea in five different locations collecting items, performing tricks, and shooting enemies. As you complete missions you get new characters, guns and cosmetics. The controls are simple to learn but offer nuanced control that enable harder tricks, rail grinds and huge jumps. Enemy encounters result in fast-paced shootouts where you need to both steer and aim at the same time.
In addition to the single player Campaign mode you can compete against other players or computer opponents for high scores, kills, or simply exploring and having fun with no set objective. Additionally, you can also create your own skate parks and can upload them for others to enjoy. An unusual aspect of this is playing a map while a friend is still constructing it, or both working to create the biggest jump.
The result is bizarre in concept but works surprisingly well. Riding your tiny speed boat like it was a skateboard is a lot of fun, and the various challenges push you to use it in increasingly ambitious ways.
