Surf's Up, dudes! - Image 1Although both Sony Pictures Animation (under Sony Pictures Entertainment) and Sony Computer Entertainment both belong under the larger Sony umbrella, guess that they're not averse to some third-party outsourcing of film licenses. Happened before with SPE's Open Season (Wii, PSP, NDS, Xbox 360, PC), developed by Ubisoft Montreal, and it's happening again for the latest flick, Surf's Up.

Surf's Up is the story of one guy's passion for surfing taking him into the high-octane world of competitive surfing. That the guy - and most of the characters - happen to be mostly penguins is just an incidental point in this mockumentary. This should make for an interesting surfing game. Wonder if it will be of extreme proportions... or if there will be rabbid cameos... (*WARNING* Bunnies Very Useful Scientific Facts #45-ish: Bunnies can't surf)
  • Innovative arcade and surf feeling with players performing a variety of impressive tricks in the air and learning to surf inside a tube.
  • Win the championship in the single-player mode or challenge your friends in the multiplayer mode with easy pick-up-and-play game controls.
  • 10 playable characters with their own tricks and characteristics.
  • Impressive water simulation and physics. Surf in a variety of locations, each with its own waves and obstacles. Train in the calm water of Shiverpool, ride your first tubes in Pen Gu Island, and try to surf on the explosive waters of the volcano area.
  • Tons of unlockable content.
  • Awesome game soundtrack for carving waves featuring 10 licensed music tracks.
