  • Summary: Drop-in on a gnarly Fiddlesticks 30-foot wave of have fun sessions with Sandy Beach?s 3-4 foot sets as one of 9 world-class surfers. Packed with ultra-realistic moves, players will be stoked as they pull off round-house cutbacks, lippers, floaters, and catch unreal barrel rides. [Ubi Soft]

  1. Be prepared to spend an infuriatingly considerable amount of time experimenting with the controls and learning the tricks. This, of course, is upsetting considering this is a sports title and a genre that doesn’t get much attention to begin with.
  2. Not a huge improvement over "Championship Surfer," but it is certainly much better than the PS2's other surfing game, the horrid "Surfing H30."

    It's plain looking, and it seems very basic in every way. So, there is nothing terribly next-generation about it.
  4. While it manages to float a few meters above the bottom of the ocean ["Surfing H30"], it sure as hell isn't the sunny beach it claims to be.

    Barrels. That what it really is all about. You can sit and get barreled for days. No other game comes even close to matching the realism and tube time you can get in Sunny G. Expand

    It is a fun game, if you surf you can get into it. I would not recommend it if you have no idea about surfing.

    Not too bad for surfers if the real world is flat and you need a fix. Easy start but hard to finish. Not a lot of depth though as it's basically launch, ride, finish etc., no exploring, no interactivity + each beach only has one wave which breaks identically. Expand
