Pro Powerboat Simulator

Have you ever seen a professional powerboat? Codemasters once again redefine the word "simulator", this time as "two-player, vertically-scrolling, bump-the-other-boats-off-the-course, race-and-drop-mines game". But let's not pour scorn on Pro Powerboat Simulator because it really isn't such a bad game.

Pick up the flags, collect the fuel, drop mines on the opposition, dodge the helicopter and, er, that's about it, really. Still, the graphics are nice and smooth, sound isn't bad, and the gameplay is quite good fun while it lasts, so hey, why not give it a whirl?

Neat little racing game which definitely provides three quid's worth of fun.
