Editorial Review: Product Description: Whether you live to hang ten or haven't put a toe in the water since Jaws, put your life on hold because you'll not be able to tear yourself away from Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer. Expecting the same-old trick-based console game? Forget it, and prepare for rich gameplay found all too rarely. Pro Surfer's scenario development alone breaks it out from the pack. The game's beach loading screens that feature Slater's voice-over inviting you into the scenario and its entertaining, attainable goals set a new standard for the genre. Pro Surfer's superb graphics and mood-setting background music ensure you'll have your way with the waves. One caution: The dozens of maneuvers listed in the manual can be daunting. Fortunately, Pro Surfer provides a clever tutorial to ease you into gameplay and soften the relatively steep learning curve. Spend a few minutes with the tutorial, and you'll be shooting curls and ripping 360s that will not only beat the local, but make you genuinely proud. Surf's up! --Patty Stuart Pros:

 Rating: - Best Surfing GameThis is the best surfing game ever. Which, we all have to admit, is not the greatest accomplishment and and of itself. It is, however, still a fun game. There are around a dozen real-world waves, each modeled to look like the real thing. There are scores of moves for each surfer, and a fair amount of unlockables - outfits, boards, beaches. This is not a simulator (go do the real thing if you want to be a "surfer"). As previous reviews have stated, think Tony Hawk on the water. ... Read More Rating:  - It's Tony Hawk only surfing. I like surfing better than skating and this delivers. The graphics and controls are pretty sweet and there are tons of unlockables. If you like surfing this game is awesome. Rating: - Good GameI never thought I would buy a surfing game -- being from New York city with no access to a surfboard let alone a wave. But I thought I would give this a try and I'm glad I did. There's enough complexity that it's got staying power, while being a relaxing game to play at the same time. The graphics are great and the controlls are well designed. If you're interested in playing something that doesn't involve killing, and has a sort of zen - you and the wave kinda vibe, then get this. Rating: - Hands Down the BEST surfing game everI have been surfing over 15 years and have played just about every surfing game made. This one is BY FAR the best surfing game ever made. I got Transworld Surf and returned it the same day... pretty graphics... [BAD] surfing mechanics. I went to my surf buddy's house and played Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer and it rocked! It really FEELS like you are surfing, and the waves are spectacular. Someone mentioned having to save dolphins and wait to get money? That is the wrong game. This is all about ...

You don't even get to surf. all it is is saving dolphins. and there is a very long part in the game were you have to sit on a curb and wait for a guy to bring you some money. it took about 2 days for me to get past that part. ..I beat this gme in three days includng the time it took for that guy to bring me that money. do not buy this game. it is a waste of time, and money.if yo decide ...
