Water Ski is a sports game that was only released in North America.
+ Superb course design and the risk-reward element of attempting a ramp jump for bonus points is thrilling.
+ Collision detection is tight and a lost life always feels like a learning moment rather than a cheap death.
+ Two-player mode is the star of the show, as it allows one person to control the boat and the other the skier.
- Desperately needed some difficulty options, as the game throws the kitchen sink at you from the opening moment.
- Checkpoints are non-existent, which adds to the frustration and forces you to rely on heavy memorisation to advance.
- With both a skier and a boat to manoeuvre simultaneously, it can take time to adjust to the unusual controls.
