This Game could actually be really good: The Graphics are nice, there is a good Selection of Tracks and jet skis, the Stunt System is quite usable, even the water Physics as such feels overquitous and good and it has both a Local as well as Online multiplayer.
But the Collision Physics of jet skis is simply frustrating: Similar to Car racing Games, a slight pushing at the back of the jet Ski is enough for the part to Rotate uncontrollably. The Combination of dense Driver's Field and the jet ski typical Buoy System makes you really struggle with the Opponents, even if the AI riders do it not wanton (aggressively) but due to the system (Route guidance).
This often leads to the work on the front places (if you make it to the front) and then be pushed away from the AI in a Curve, which in turn leads to a loss Of position or miss a Buoy.
Others write that the AI driver has the same Collision Behavior as a Wall, that is, their Mass seems to be considerably higher than their own. This illustrates it very well. One is pushed around by the AI opponents, as if you were hardly weighing anything yourself. In Turn, pushing Off and Pushing the Way Of AI opponents is significantly harder and fraught with the Risk of it going wrong.
Maybe it works better in Multiplayer when players are worth putting on Fair play, the Single-player career offers more Fruit potential Than Fun because of this Collision physics, which significantly diminishes the Fun of the game.

Product received for free Early Access Review With Aqua Moto Racing Utopia, there is a classic jet ski racer, as you know it from the good Old Wave Race times.
First And foremost, you can race online against up to 7 other Riders, compete alone in Championships or compete locally with up to 4 Players.
In addition to classic Races, you can also contest Race and stunt events. In the last case, you have to do as many Stunts as possible during Jumps or while Driving in order to earn points and win the Event. You can also practice on a free Terrain or also resort to various party games at the local Co-op. There are first of all the classic Modes, such as Capture the Flag and King of the Hill, but also a Hockey Mode with two Teams competing in the Style of a classic ice hockey's against each other as well as the Modus Duck-mom. Here, each Player must collect as many Ducks as quickly as possible and pull them behind him, but also be careful not to take them back, which means a Loss of Points.
Aqua Moto Racing offers very beautiful water and Light Effects from a graphical age point. The Textures and the Appearance of the Drivers themselves sometimes look a bit old baking, especially in the Menus and in the case of corresponding Animations (E.g. when Showing the Winning Podium). However, since it is still in the Early Access Phase, it will probably be a bit more to follow up.
Playfully, it is very well implemented and the two Types of vehicles both control their Size and Agility appropriately well. The many different Areas in particular Bring a good Change into play through sometimes narrower Passages and Obstacles along the Way. And then there are the Weather Effects, which, especially because of the well-animated Water, only make the Game its real Shine. With too strong a Swell, it likes to get very bumpy and so this is clearly reflected in the Control of the Water Flickers.
All in All a very good Game, especially the local Modes make it an interesting Title for in between or with Friends at home.
