SURF'S DOWN
his is the first licensed game I’ve played that is actually shorter than its movie. I’m not exaggerating; in a little over an hour I had received trophies in all of the main surf events. The premise of the game is to speed across the waves racking up a high score by doing tricks and going off jumps. Performing tricks on waves can be fun on a very basic level – I only wish there was more depth to the gameplay. Think of it as SSX on water with no racing element, a minimized über trick system, and a reduced sense of speed. Let’s just hope this isn’t the opening wave of a flood of Penguin-themed video games.
