This lackluster effort from Rockstar is extremely disappointing. The game play is generic, the graphics reek of N64, and above all, this is absolutely nothing like surfing. Instead of concentrating on cutbacks and bottom turns, you spend all of your time collecting buoys in order to gain enough points to advance to the next level. I wish that every set brought the perfect wave and paddling into that wave was effortless. According to this game that is how easy it is. I bought this game in hopes for a somewhat realistic simulation, but I was sadly mistaken. Also, I unlocked all of the levels, surfers, and surfboards in about 4 hours. If any developers read this, please realize that there is a large market for a realistic surfing simulation.

Surfing? More Like Death........

I am a really big fan of SSX. When I saw H30 out in the store, I thought to myself "It must be like SSX but on water". WRONG! This game is terrible, the graphics are terrible, the controls are terrible, and the whole concept of the game is terrible. So after five minutes of playing, I was kicking myself for not reading any reviews of this game before I went out and [purchased it]. I really cannot believe who could create and release such a poor game to the public.

horrible

This game is SO bad, i would rather watch cheese grow mold. I mean, seriously, the waves look like blocks of ice. I've never seen anything so pathetic. Every time i play it, i usually end up throwing the controller and screaming at the top of my lungs. Sometimes i smack my head against the wall. The controlls are SO HARD that i usually get a big blister on my thumb. Yeah, gross, i know right? Well, you want it to happen to you? You wanna be smackin your big air head against the wall? You want goo spillin out your big fat thumb? If you do, go ahead and buy this game. Have fun in the hospital.

I think this is the worst PS2 Game out there. When I returned it to the store (Wal-Mart) they said NO returns after the package was opened but when I told them how BAB it was they understood and said I could have any other PS2 game of my choice. Surfing H3O is very hard to play, graphics suck. there is a lot better games to spend your money on. I wouldn't play this game if it was FREE.

I OWN THIS GAME

The gameplay is Terrible... Controls are Terrible. Is it Rockstar that came out with this game? Didn't they also make Midnight Run? Well, SHAME ON THEM for putting out such a poor excuse for a game. This is THE WORST game I have ever played on the PS2... If you are still determined to get this game, or are suckered by the 5 star reviews, AT LEAST GO RENT IT... THAT WAY you waste less money. I would go through ALL the reasons why this game is bad, but I thought, Why not go through all the reasons the game is GOOD... MUCH shorter LIST... Ready for it? 1. NOTHING about this game is good.... Happy gaming...

If you have ever surfed or for that matter have ever plaayed an enjoyable video game, do not punnish yourself by purchacing this game. The wave and the riding is terrible. First of all every time you cut back in this game the nose of your board goes under water, which in real life would send you flying over the front of your board. And another thing that caused this came to be a dismal failure is the controls, in my opinion they were to aquard. They have you using both analog sticks to stear the front and back of your board which just gets confusing. I live on Maui and do surf and I can honestly say the going outside and learning to surf would be easier than playing this game. I played mine for a day before I pawned it off. So in short, do yourself a favor and DONT BUY THIS WORTHLESS GAME.
