Championship Surfer

"The water also looks pretty amazing, with some of the finest waves and effects since Wave Race 64 (it's about time!). The game makes use of waves comprised of a 2048 polygon mesh, which is animated by spline curves and scaling parameters. This techno-babble means that the waves can dynamically adjust their own polygonal composition in order to improve appearance."

"Flat, plain, and generally hard to see, the athlete models are as bland as you could ever imagine... actually gave me some form of eyestrain... very steep learning curve..."

"There's nothing brutally wrong with Championship Surfer, but there isn't really enough to keep the non-surfer interested... doesn't offer much more than a couple days of wacky surfing fun before its novelty wears off..."

"The graphics in Championship Surfer are easily the best graphics in a surfing game to date. They may not be as shiny as the PS2's Surfoid, but Championship Surfer's graphics have got it where it counts. "

"The gameplay is simple (surf into the crest of the wave and hit X to catch air, then perform a trick), but, frankly, Billabong doesn't come close to making use of the Dreamcast's potential. "
