Sheesh! Does this game stink! I had read the bad reviews before buying it but decided to give it a try, mostly because I really like SSX and Surfing H30 seemed similar. Save your money. The graphics are lousy, the action unrealistic, and the control functions aren't intuitive. The training video is nearly impossible to follow, so you're pretty much on your own trying to figure out how to play. If you really want surf-like action, buy SSX and pretend you're in Hawaii.
