Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer

An excellent surfing game that not only looks and sounds great, but also makes all three aspects of competitive surfing fun; the tube tricks, the face tricks, and the aerials.

The career mode has a lot of depth, and pulling off all of the tricks in the spectacular looking waves is an absolute joy.

Fluid gameplay, great visuals, and a huge amount of overall depth easily override some low-key soundtracks, a frustrating camera, and a high degree of difficulty.

It's organic intensity versus Hawk's urban chaos, but it works. [Oct 2002, p.30]

The replays are totally interactive, the camera can be set just about anywhere, and the control is so easily grasped, you'll be busting out moves that would take you a lifetime to learn. [Oct 2002, p.85]

At its core, Kelly just feels like a bare-bones version of "THPS" in the ocean. [Oct 2002, p.179]

The whole game concept is worn and exhausted, the graphics are shallow, the gameplay is repetitive, and the sounds are poor.
