What We Think:
We love the idea of coasting along the crazy wavy surface of a sine wave. Though at first the concept seemed perhaps too simplistic, it quickly became apparent that this is in fact a highly addictive titles that is technically very well implemented. The player is consistently challenged to attempt a variety of stunts, like doing a series of 360 flips in the air and landing his or her board safely back on the surface of the wave. As the game progresses safely, the music speeds up and begins to warp, causing the waveform to get more and more challening to ride.
Another neat little addition is the realtime clock display at the bottom left. It has nothing to do with the gameplay, but its cool to be able to check the time without looking away from the game.
For a fair 200 Microsoft Points, it gets our salute.
