All-Star Watersports

About

All-Star Watersports throws you into a roster of coastal activities from the early 2000s. Choose from surfboards, bodyboards, windsurfers, or jet skis to tackle waves and perform tricks across beachside events. The single-player mode challenges you to master timing and rotation for scoring, while multiplayer lets up to four players clash in races and stunt contests. Each sport has its own mechanics like carving barrels or launching off ramps, with simple controls that prioritize quick pick-up over deep simulation. The game stands out for its sunny, arcade-style presentation and the option to ride alongside animated wildlife like dolphins. Multiplayer remains a highlight with up to four-player split-screen, a rarity on PlayStation at the time. While the 2003 release date shows in the visuals by modern standards, the straightforward fun and variety of events keep it from feeling outdated. A modest but polished entry in the sports genre.
