Very fun racing game. The handling and controls feel nice, the tricks are fun and the courses feel good to master. I do think the game could've used more courses and less grinding, as you will need to buy upgrades and better jet skis (and upgrades for those too) for later levels and that could take a little while. You also have to level up to get more tricks and boost upgrades. Despite that it's well worth the price for what the game offers!
