This review is from: Tony Hawk's Underground/Kelly Slater Pro Surfer (Video Game)

This is a nice little re-issue of two top-notch "alternative" sports games on one cartridge. Everyone is familiar with Hawk's Pro Skater, and believe me, this is an outstanding game on the Gameboy Advance. In some ways I like it better than the versions on the bigger systems. Lots of skaters and plenty of skate spots, this one has a lot under the hood. I know the actual title is Tony Hawk's Underground, but to me, this is simply another Pro Skater game. And that isn't a bad thing.

The other game on this cartridge is the lesser known (but very fun) Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer. Very well done, especially in the graphics department. The waves look very realistic and detailed. Fluid surfing action. Plenty of surfers to choose from and actual beaches to surf. As far as gameplay, the control on this one can be challenging. When your surfer starts to rack up a line of tricks, his/her "meter" builds up (sound familiar?) and he/she can bust out "special" tricks. Only problem is, the speed factor goes off the charts and your little surfer starts to spin and air out over the waves at a frantic pace. It is kind of like he hits turbo mode. This game looks very realistic but gameplay is more of a fantasy/arcade style---I've never seen surfers do tricks like these. Oh, I almost forgot...the announcer on Slater can be turned off, thankfully. This dude yells out annoying one-liners while you are surfing. If you couldn't turn him off then this game would not be playable.

If you are a fan of the Hawk series, then this game is worth picking up if you can find it. Just the Hawk game will keep you busy for days, and then you have the added Slater title thrown in there for good measure. And Slater is no bargain bin effort, either.

if you are a fan of surfing or skating, you will love this 2-1 pack. The pro surfer game took me a little bit to pick up, but anyone familiar with tony hawk gameplay will do fine on both games.
