Players guide World Professional Surfing Champion Kelly Slater across some of the best waves that the beaches of the world have to offer in this release for the PlayStation 2 console. Slater is joined by Lisa Andersen, Tom Carroll, Donavon Frankenreiter, and several other professional surfers of international renown in this never-ending quest for the perfect ride on the perfect wave.
In terms of gameplay and style, this title falls in line with similarly-themed Activision releases like Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX and the category-founding Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, featuring real-world brand names, an intuitive interface, a suitably alternative soundtrack, and a large catalog of unbelievable tricks and combos. Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer was developed by the Interactive Republic Corporation and uses a new proprietary engine to create realistic, dynamic virtual waves for the pro boarders.
Game Play Modes:
Infinite Time - With no clock, no objectives, and nobody around, this gives you the best opportunity to just enjoy the surf.
High Score - With 3 minutes, how high of a score can you get?
Icon Challenge - See how many icons you can collect and how high of a score you can get before time runs out.
Career Mode - Select a surfer and journey around the world to surf the best waves on the best beaches. As you progress you will unlock new beaches, new surf boards, and new tricks which will be usable in all the other modes of play.
Multiplayer Modes:
Push - Two players surf simultaneously in an attempt to "push" the split screen towards their opponent's half of the screen. As you score points the screen gets pushed more. The winner is decided once one player is pushed from the screen.
Head to Head - Similar to Push but the screen is stationary and the winner is the person with the highest points when the time runs out.
Time Attack - Players take turns to achieve the most points possible. The more points you get the less time is alloted to your opponent.
The Pros in the game: Kelly Slater, Lisa Andersen, Tom Carroll, Tom Curren, Nathan Fletcher, Donavon Frankenreiter, Bruce Irons, Rob Machado, Kalani Robb, and some other secret characters.
The beaches in the game: Sebastian, Trestles, Mavericks, Antarctica, Jaws, Pipeline, Teahupoo, Bells, Curren's Point, Kirra, G-Land, J-Bay, Mundaka, Cortez Bank, and perhaps some other tucked-away hide-aways.
The PS2 version of the game also includes a playable demo of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4.
