PlayStation 2Overview
Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild is an arcade racing game developed by Rainbow Studios and published by THQ on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. It is a jet ski-based racer and is a sequel to Splashdown, a much more realistic jet-ski game developed by the same studio and published by Atari. Rides Gone Wild takes a much more arcade-style approach to the genre, similar to games like Hydro Thunder, featuring incredibly exaggerated tricksets, over-characterized racers and theme-park like levels.
