Transworld Surf was developed by Angel Studios, a game shop known for creating visually stunning outdoor environments. Thus, it's no surprise that this extreme surfing game excels graphically. The waves are realistic and detailed, and make extensive use of the Xbox's lighting and bump-mapping capabilities. All 10 of the game's locations have a distinct look that properly reflects the conditions in each area. Also lifelike are the player models and animations. The sound effects aren't nearly as remarkable as the graphics, but the music is great. The diverse soundtrack features tracks from Nebula, Dr. Onionskin, Cali Agents, Anti-Flag, and Sum 41. Best of all, players can program their own soundtrack from the Xbox hard drive. Game modes include free surf, single session, multiplayer, and pro tour. The first three modes are self-explanatory, while the last consists of objective-based levels and competitions with the pros. Although the controls are responsive, timing tricks and combos is initially difficult. Unlike in skateboarding and BMX games, the player has to master each trick's timing while worrying about a constantly moving environment. While it may be too daunting for beginners, this is a deep and rewarding game that's a joy to behold. It's to surfing games what Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is to skateboarding games. --Raymond M. Padilla Pros: - Amazing graphics
- Responsive controls
- Good variety of surfers, beaches, and music tracks
Cons:- Relatively steep learning curve
- Hackneyed level objectives
- Middling sound effects

Transworld Surf Reviews
No plot or story line. Average at best graphics and some decent tunes on it, but not much else going for it. Should be another hit with skateboarder types.
Surfing in this game is fun and quasi-realistic.except for having to rescue dolphins, scare birds, and fight off sharks every five minutes. Also, there's only one beach. At least until you score enough dolphin saves, bird scares, shark beatings in the career mode. This game blows toads. Did these guys even PLAY this monstrosity before putting it on the shelves.
JUST LET ME SURF FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. If they're not all on welfare after putting this out (they should be), I hope they do a new version where YOU ONLY HAVE TO SURF. Which all surfers do on a regular basis, right. Imagine a football game where in addition to actually playing the game, you had to micromanage the popcorn sales so you could afford new helmets.
In Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer you don't have to rescue dolphins either, all you do is surf. The surfing physics are off on Transworld, but it does have good graphics so a gamer would probably enjoy this game but not someone who surfs. Ditch this game and get Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer, it's way better, you'll thank me later. The games ok, but if you're going to spend your money on a surfing game you might as well buy the better one.
The graphics are great, and the tricks are awesome. Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys watching or doing the sport of surfing. It's a very challenging game, in order to unlock levels/beaches, you have to really learn and pull off all your tricks out of your hat. What other Surfing game do you know where you have to paddle out to the line up, duck dive waves, and time your paddle right to drop in. The controls are very simple to learn, it's all a matter of timing your moves right. This game is by far the most realistic Surfing game I have ever played. The hardest thing about this game is if/when you Wipe Out count as negative points and that makes it really tough to score high.
This is a pretty good game with only a few flaws. I would recomend it. It is fun, challenging, but not way to hard. The only bad thing is the annoying sound.
