I preordered TW Surf before it was out, and its being late slightly disappointed me.
But now it's out, and it's totally cool!!!
Surfing:
Riding the tubs, pulling off a snap under the curl, and floaters are awesome.
But as all surfers know "aerial tricks" and "Kick flips" rarely come into surfing, except as a possible finishing move. In this game a majority of the big tricks are focused on aerial maneuvers. Surfers don't let this deter you, this game kicks ... (Can even run into sponges) If anything, I love it for it free ride mode where you can sit and surf without getting wet in 54 degree water. Being fairly busy and living 45min. from the California North Coast I find it a good reminder of why I love surfing, and a reminder that I need to go more. I've been waiting for such a game, and I am pleased. I'd even go as far to say that I think it beats [other game]. The video clippings are also pretty cool too.
Multi-player "Kind of the Wave"
I haven't figured this one out to much... Just a whole bunch of surfing sharing on constant wave...
Should have done a surfer tag game, possibly a hit the sponge game.
Multi-player "Shark Tag":
Pro: it's a cool idea that adds extra fun when playing two players.
Con: the Shark can be a bit frustrating as you learning to attack surfers, and you sometimes end up swimming around for a bit. The shark is the same in every location. Being from California to bad there was not an 18ft great white.
I love how realistic it is... The graphics on the PS2 still look awesome...
The free rides out to the "line up" are a nice touch...
Hope I didn't forget anything...
But, last of all, you are surfing...
And as all surfers know there's nothing better than that...
Have fun, but don't forget about your surfboard it may get lonely.
P.S. Those who don't surf don't get any false perceptions by the game, just standing up can be hard enough let alone do anything else. But hopefully this will inspire you.
Since i wrote this Kelly Slater Surfing came out and Trans World still it the better of the two... Kelly's waves are all to much the same wave over and over... Buy Transworld Surfing already... I still pick it up and play it after a year, mostly because I still haven't completed all of it... what replay value... I recently move to Sacramento 1 Hr 45 Minutes from the ocean, thank goodness i have Transworld :)

Yes,I believe!!! I thought this game would be all hype, but the water graphics and surfing moves are dead on.....Its a beautigul and fun game to play...My thumbs are hurting!! after playing this game for about a weeks....Take note though, its not an easy game to master..It'll take time to adjust to the moving wave as well as some practice before you can starting busting out some crazy tricks.I'm about halfway thoough the levels with one character and some the tasks are hard to complete...Sure, you can say that the realism of the aerial moves are too-physiccts defying, but there has been no other surfing game that even ccomes close!!!!! I say buy this game, you wont regret it....BTW, this review is coming from a bodyboarder, and this game is truly impressive and worth ever dollar spent.....
Breakpoint

Sincerely, I was waiting for a surfing game that delivered this much realism and energy. If you have some hope that this game will be as good as THPS, then you may and may not get your wish. First of all, it's surfing, not skating, so you better get used to the fact that there is a wave, and that it is moving, and you cannot just get up and keep surfing. If you just take this game for what it is, it is awesome!!The beaches are beautiful, the surfers are cool, and the soundtrack is rocking. I would say, unless Kelly Slater's game proves to be better than this one, TWS is the THPS of surfing...good mode!!!
Get Lifted...!!

This game has HUGE stunts for those into the skateboard & ski-board craze!! Even the SHARK-ATTACKS look real... that's right !! Just remember, practice makes perfect! Also recomended is "SPLASHDOWN.." You'll definately get your money's worth... One~~
Visually stunning...gameplay not so stunning.

First off I give props to all these companies creating these awesome looking games. Now, if they were half as fun as they look we would be all set. Unfortunaly, this game looks great but I spent the first day (3 hours or more) trying to figure out how to actually get in the barrel. I got it by accident but I found out there is no specific way to do it. The tricks are easy to pull off...easier than just trying to stay up. The ride is over in 5 seconds and then start over. paddle...paddle...or call the tow chic. Anyway I dropped ... bucks on this game and once again I was less than happy. These companies need to remember...acool looking game is great but I need kick[in]gameplay!
Surfs up
