Should be another hit with skateboarder types. Average at best graphics and some decent tunes on it, but not much else going for it. No plot or story line.

Surfing rocks, this game blows toads

Surfing in this game is fun and quasi-realistic...except for having to rescue dolphins, scare birds, and fight off sharks every five minutes. Which all surfers do on a regular basis, right? This game blows toads. Imagine a football game where in addition to actually playing the game, you had to micromanage the popcorn sales so you could afford new helmets.
Also, there's only one beach! At least until you score enough dolphin saves, bird scares, shark beatings in the career mode. JUST LET ME SURF FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Did these guys even PLAY this monstrosity before putting it on the shelves??? If they're not all on welfare after putting this out (they should be), I hope they do a new version where YOU ONLY HAVE TO SURF!

Gamers, yes, surfers, no

The games ok, but if you're going to spend your money on a surfing game you might as well buy the better one. Ditch this game and get Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer, it's way better, you'll thank me later. The surfing physics are off on Transworld, but it does have good graphics so a gamer would probably enjoy this game but not someone who surfs. In Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer you don't have to rescue dolphins either, all you do is surf.

Most realistic Surfing game I've ever played

This game is by far the most realistic Surfing game I have ever played. What other Surfing game do you know where you have to paddle out to the line up, duck dive waves, and time your paddle right to drop in? The graphics are great, and the tricks are awesome. It's a very challenging game, in order to unlock levels/beaches, you have to really learn and pull off all your tricks out of your hat. The controls are very simple to learn, it's all a matter of timing your moves right. The hardest thing about this game is if/when you Wipe Out count as negative points and that makes it really tough to score high. Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys watching or doing the sport of surfing.

Good with only a few flaws

This is a pretty good game with only a few flaws. I would recomend it. It is fun, challenging, but not way to hard. The only bad thing is the annoying sound.

As close as I will ever get to surfing

I have never played a surfing game before, but I took a chance with this one based upon the good reviews here. I can definitely say that this one is worth the money!

As other current generation games, Transworld Surf takes advantage of the ability to create very realistic water effects. Of the water games that I have seen (Spyhunter for PS2, Splashdown for PS2), this one definitely is in the running for most realistic in its presentation.

The levels are very challenging and appear to increase in difficulty as one moves through the game. Some of the level objectives are a bit frustrating, but usually there are enough objectives to allow the player to "switch gears" if the frustration level gets too high. And if the objectives get old, one can always free surf and practice the tricks that become necessary in later levels.

As with other games that award points based on tricks during a run, maximum scores occur when one puts as much variation into the run as possible. This may be the cause of some of the frustration surrounding this game's learning curve. I have found that concentrating on a few easy tricks first (floaters, board grabs, cutbacks and barrel rides) allowed me to become proficient enough to begin to move on to tricks of medium difficulty. I was able to become relatively proficient over the course of about 4 hours of gameplay.

But the difficulty coupled with the exhilarating graphics and my quest for the "perfect run" has made this game one of the best that I have played in some time.

THIS GAME IS A MUST HAVE!!!

This game blows all other surfing games out of the water, whether you surf or not this game is sweet. The only other surfing game that (comes close) to Transworld Surf is Sunny Garcia Pro surfer for playstation 2. Transworld Surf has great graphics, the best surf spots and the reef girls what more could you ask for in a surfing game?

A Pleasant Surprise

To say I was skeptical about spending $... on a surfing game would be the understatement of the year. However, the good buzz around the game gave me the confidence I needed to give it a try and I am happy that I did so. Transworld Surf is not an easy game to pick up in the first couple of hours, but enough patience and effort will pay off in a rewarding game experience. Some of the goals connected to the Career Mode could have been left out, yet it does add another dimension to the overall gameplay and helps you practice certain tricks/moves. The graphics are exceptional and the difficulty of progressing in Career Mode is a welcomed challenge. The multiplayer games are also fun, except for the tricky King of the Wave. Forget about the snowboarding and skateboarding games, this is the one you need if you want to have a so-called "extreme" sports game. I rated it 4 stars, but my actual rating- if possible- would be 4 1/2 stars. It is that good and it is that fun.

1 Of the best games For Xbox
