    The digital beaches of the game are so close in look and feel to the real thing that I could almost smell the salt water.

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

    While it may not capture the "feel" of surfing quite as well as its closest competitor, it makes up for it with better wave models and the incredible number of actions to perform on each wave.

    The most impressive looking and playing surf game ever created...If Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer doesn't spark a huge interest in videogame surfing, well then sh*t, nothing will.
  6. GameSpot

    Easily the most cohesive and well-rounded surfing game to hit the PS2 yet, and a unique and enjoyable extreme sports game in its own right.
  7. GameSpy
    89
    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.
  8. GameZone
    85
    Impressive gameplay and stunning visuals make this one a must have for surfers and wannabes alike.
  9. GamePro
    80
    One humongous drawback to this otherwise seemingly outstanding surf game, however, is the ongoing slowdown.
  10. GamerWeb Sony
    80
    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.

    An excellent first installment that offers gaming's best surfing experience. [4 Oct 2002, p.158]

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