Though SRR displays good water effects and offers a number of play options, the lack of depth and simple gameplay will hardly keep anyone's attention, even if the surf's up.
The game's attempts at arcade racing are very flawed, through poor level design which completely misses the scope for amazing "in your face" arcade levels, poor unrewarding game physics and also through badly implemented extra modes.
All the elements are here for what could have been an above-average arcade racer, but the developers left out the most important aspect of any racing game - the excitement.
