It’s like Waverace, only not quite as good. The same old story.

The full version does, though, cost a relatively expensive £2.99. That takes it out of complete impulse territory, so it’s a good job there’s a Lite version to play with.

And what a good Lite version it is. A three-race championship, quick races on the same track and three jet skis to unlock. (Look, if they’re not jet skis but something subtly different, I don’t want to know, okay?)

Aqua Moto Racing 2 Lite

You can pick up treasure as you race to get bonus money to buy new jet skis.

It’s great arcade fun, the wave physics add a lot to the races and I’m very impressed. Only two things are stopping me from hitting the buy button to purchase the full version.

The first is the lack of difficulty in the Lite version. Even on Hard, it’s very easy to win races.

The second is that there are some reports of frame rate issues when you get the faster jet skis. Not sure if that’s a problem for everyone, though, or someone trying to play the game on a first-gen iPod Touch or something.

Anyway, I’ll probably have caved in and got the full thing by lunchtime, so I can find out for myself.
