Premium Review Surf's Up (DS): Thumbs up for Surf's up! (1413 words)

I'd read a really positive review of this game by another dooyoo member some while back and had kept an eye out for this when browsing the DS games. I find that many a DS game has been disappointing, and now unless it's something that really really appeals I generally only buy once they are in the sale, to cut my losses if it's rubbish (and then they go on ebay.) I spotted this in the sale games in Tesco for a bargain £4, and felt at that price I couldn't lose. Most spin off games from films as a general rule, aren't great especially if the films a good one, the games don't live up to the expectation and generally sell off the back of the film having a good ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Surf's Up - surf and perform tricks on this Nintendo DS game (561 words)
by - written on 06/08/09 (Very useful, 12 readings)

This review is for the Nintendo DS game, Surf's Up, developed and published by Ubisoft. As the title suggests, the game is a surfing game where you can learn to surf and perform tricks. The Surf's Up game was released across a number of consoles and the PC at a similar time, so this is a very wide release. When this happens, very often developers tend to take short cuts with the game, and tend to focus less on the features and advantages of each console. Unfortunately, they appear to have made a similar mistake with this game. The game is really a racing game, although you can perform various tricks. You race around various locations, and whilst ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Surf's Up (DS): A great racing game (with a twist) for the DS (1689 words)

I have never seen the Surfs Up feature length animation, nor had I ever had any intention to so why I decided to rent this game in the first place is beyond me. Whilst looking at the titles on offer I noticed this game and picked it up. Maybe it was the attractive looking box (I have always had a love for water), maybe it was just a 'slip of the hand' Who knows? Whatever it was I am glad because I found a gem of a game that I would have otherwise missed. ****Story Line**** According to the box this game is loosely based on the movie of the same name, Surf's Up is a racing game whereby all the characters are penguins and the mode of ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review SURFS UP DUDE!! RADICAL AND BODACIOUS!! (221 words)

I cant believe this game is only £9.99 at Amazon.co.uk, I paid £25 when it first came out!! this is real good bargain. OVERVIEW: This is based around the tournament element of the film and consists of racing as various characters around various courses, collecting objects to increase speed or throw a squid at an opponent to win races to progress through the game. GAMEPLAY: Has a lovely arcade and surf feel with players able to perform impressive tricks using a combination of button pressing and touchpad stroking, lots of unlockable content and a gentle start ease you in to this game and keep you interested for longer than ...  Read the complete review
