Product Description
Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer sees the titular surfer leading a team of pro surfers that includes Lisa Andersen, Tom Carroll, Tom Curren, Nathan Fletcher, Bruce Irons, Rob Machado, and Kalani Robb. The surfers are represented by realistic, high-resolution 3-D models and animations reflecting their personal styles. A proprietary wave engine powers state-of-the-art graphics, physics, and motion, allowing Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer to capture the essence of surfing and its culture. The exotic real-world beaches of South Africa, Hawaii, Australia, Tahiti, Spain, and North America will immerse players in the virtual surf world. An intuitive control system allows players to execute the most technical pro-manoeuvres and experience ever-changing wave conditions. The game offers multiple play modes, including career mode, special events, and surf trip. Additionally, a large variety of real surf tricks and events, licensed boards, wetsuits, and clothing lend the game authenticity.
Review
Whether you live to hang 10 or haven't put a toe in the water since Jaws, put your life on hold, because you won't be able to tear yourself away from Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer. Expecting the same old trick-based console game? Forget it, and prepare yourself for the rich kind of gameplay found too rarely in the gaming market.
Pro Surfer's scenario development alone breaks it out of the pack. Whether it's the beaches' loading screens that feature Slater's voiceover inviting you into the scenario or the entertaining, attainable goals, this game sets 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 manoeuvres listed in the manual can be daunting. Fortunately, Pro Surfer provides a clever tutorial to ease you into the 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 not only "beat the local," but also make you genuinely proud of your accomplishments. Surf's up! --Patty Stuart
