Aqua GT

About

Aqua GT is a powerboat racing game from 2000 that lets you zip through city canals in fast boats. You can tackle three modes: a career-driven Championship with Bronze to Gold tiers, a time-challenging Arcade mode, or head-to-head split-screen races. Pick from five starting boats and unlock 15 more as you play. Each has different speed and handling traits to suit your style. The game stands out for its real-world settings, tracks run through canals in London, Amsterdam, and New York. Races shift between high and low tide and happen at day or night. With 20 total boats and split-screen that still works well today, it’s a surprisingly varied experience for a 22-year-old title. The simple physics and straightforward gameplay keep it accessible, though the visuals feel dated by modern standards.
