The Surfer
Official Description (Ad Blurb)
The Surfer is an arcade styled leaderboard sports game played out over an expansive world tour. The game features retro styled graphics layered over a hard core physics base, offering incredible gameplay depth. For the first time ever in a surfing game – you can physically pump up and down the wave to build up momentum and then score big, purely, as a result of the speed generated from the wave. In this leader-board style of competition, complete with waves that barrel, peak, break left, right, or just foam crumble. Pro Tour “hopefuls” battle it out on the Qualifying Tour trying to earn a place on the lucrative Pro Tour.

The Good
Sick control and game mechanic. Physics feel really good and there's a lot to do. Camera is good and animation is solid. Waves tube randomly which is the first time I've seen that. You can tell the developers surf, its really noticeable. Local multiplayer is cool.
The Bad
Graphics need updating, but that's understandable as they are an indie. Some of the character voices are repetitive. No online yet.
The Bottom Line
Solid surfing game, might be a bit tricky for non surfers to get used to but once it clicks in your brain it really works and its super addictive. Graphics are average, but should get better if it goes to modern consoles.
