Pretty Cool, For a Surfing game.

Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer will be as popular as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, no doubt about that. I could imagine the controls being a little hard to manuever, but the replay value of this should be high along with great graphics. In addition to surfing with Kelly Slater, you can also surf as Lisa Andersen, Tom Carroll, Tom Curren, Nathan Fletcher, Bruce Irons, Rob Machado, and Kalani Robb. You'll be surfing in highly detailed beaches from all around the world including South Africa, Hawaii, Australia, Tahiti, Spain, and North America.

You should also expect from this game a Career Mode, a Create A Player Mode, and possibly even a mode where you can create your own beach and waves (that would be awesome!). I believe there will be some sort of Multiplayer Mode ranging from 2 to 4 players at the same time. Overall, Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer should be a hit and I suggest that you should pre-order this game if you liked Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder, Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX, or any other extreme sports game.

Kelly is the best....to bad his game is not!!!

The bottom line is this...If you want a skateboarding game you buy THPS!!! If you want a snowboarding game you buy SSX!! If you want a surfing game you DON'T buy H30, Sunny Garcia, or now KSPS following in the footsteps of what appears to be yet another quarter pipe with some procedural textures sliding across the surface of it trying to make you believe you are submersed in an ocean!!! Maybe I am wrong and KSPS will deliver TWS caliber wave'(s), and THPS style game play. Personally I am holding out for the PS2 version of Transworld Surf.

Happy Surfing

Very Good

Weel, I'm waiting for this title since last year, and, finally, it will be released. I think it will be very good. The only surf gme that is good is Champinship Surfer for PC, the others surf games to the other plataforms aren't too good. I think this will be a block buster.

WHEN THE HELL IS THIS GAME COMING OUT???!!

I won't be mean and give this game 1 star - until I see it - but this is RIDICULOUS. When the hell is this game coming out? They keep pushing the date back

Transworld Surf is left in the whitewash

First of all, everyone who wrote about this game before they even played it is an imbecile. Anyway - This game is really good. The graphics are way smoother than Transworld Surf (TWS). Also, the game seems more fluid tha TWS. I like the fact that even when you go into the tube you can come out of it without falling - just like surfing. The intro videos are actual video footage and Kelly Slater adds commentary to each one about the location. While this game deserves 5 stars, there are a few things i do not like. One of which is that you must complete the required task in order to obtain a new level. Another thing is that i have not been able to get a good handle on how to do a floater everytime. Overall, this game beats out TWS. If you are a serious surfer, i would reccommend getting both, since both are fun, but KSPS is the must-have sports title of 2002!

Endless fun

The thing about KSPS is that unlike Tony Hawk or Matt Hoffman, this game is not about the fastest button combo's or the biggest airs. Like surfing itself this game is really about being one with the wave, expressing your style and pushing the limits. No other sports game can offer that! The graphics are awesome and the gameplay is smooth. The controls are difficult at first but very comfortable after 20 minutes or a quick run through the mandatory tutorial. I would recommend this game to anyone that likes the idea of surfing but can't get to a local wave.... this game is the closest thing. Also, dropping back in and riding in the barrel is unbelievable!

Unlike the other "reviews" on this site, I have actually played this game. Just so you know.

First off, the graphics and action on Kelly Slater are TOP NOTCH. In fact flawless is the best word to describe how this game plays. The movements by the surfer, the ocean, aquatic life, sounds, etc, all mix together in one smooth package.

I don't know much about surfing as I have always leaned towards the skateboarding side of the fence, but this game is super easy to get into despite a lack of knowledge about the sport. I can only guess that the tricks are an accurate representation of what surfers these days are pulling; personally I didn't know surfers did flip tricks on their boards, but maybe they do.

All in all, if you enjoy the Hawk series of games but want a different type of challenge, then go pick up this game.

Buy Transworld Surf

I was really excited about this title, and went right out to buy it on first release. I am seriously dissapppointed in the lack of diversity in waves and lack of flow in the gameplay...Do not make the mistake I did. Keep Ripping. REal waves are better anyway.

LEAVE SURFING TO THE SURFERS
