Summary: I'm a fan of all sorts of boats and water, and there are way too few games out there that focus on this type of transport. I even had to resort to GTA Vice City and San Andrs to cruise around in boats. Of course, there are the Dutch-made Ship Simulator games, but these simulators are pretty boring and clrly not for me (casual gamer).

Then there's Powerboat GT. I wasn't expecting much from the relatively unknown game studio behind it, so the good looking graphics (especially the water) were alrdy a plsant surprise. The handling of the boats is nicely balanced between arcade and rlism, and the overall gameplay offers some sense of freedom you find in GTA-type games. You can cruise around and accept all sorts of missions. Most of them aren't very innovative, but the wpons you can pick up in races make up for this. They are shown in boxes, like they are in games such as Mario Kart and Re-Volt and they give an interesting and often funny take on powerboat racing.

I think this has anything to offer you can expect from a boating-game, and more. The game also runs quite smoothly on a mid-spec machine with maximum detail settings Game ftures:
