This game out in 2000~ or something.

Still really fun, play it when I'm not out surfing.

The game is a bit too unrealistic, given you can do 900 degree spins in the air and the wave never ends. I actually prefer just staying on the face and doing snaps and carves vs throwing the airs.

But given the tech. we hve out there today, they could totally revamp the wave design + make it so you could actually paddle out, and actually have a location instead of just landing you out in the water. Given the massive changes they've done to the Tony Hawk franchise, I'm suprised they didn't pump these out. Would love to see a #2 with a total revamped wave sys + more locations + more realism.

i am a die-hard transworld surf guy. 350,000 points midday pipe in a wetsuit, baby!

hahah havent played in about 3+ years, since i sold i my xbox, but i kept that game just cuz'. in KSPS i felt like you were sliding around too much, as if on a skimboard. also, there were some absolutely unbeatable goals. but still fun, i was never into videogames but i owned an xbox for those two.

I've got transworld also, but it was a weird transition from having played the kelly slater game. I liked how you got to paddle around and choose your wave, althoough as I remember the wave was in slow-mo (could be wrong?). I love the kelly slater game though, goal was to clear the entire game w/ every character, by the end I could finish a career in like...40~ minutes.

Ive tried them all. the best one out there is Cory Lopez's Championship Surfer, simi lame graphics but more realistic than KSPS http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/tq/18/76510018.jpg
