Ubisoft readies quirky surfing game - first screens

March 21st, 2007, 22:31 Posted By: wraggster

These are the first screens of Ubisoft's new Surf's Up game, based on the Sony-produced CG animation film of the same name.

The typically bonkers plot follows the story of a penguin named Cody who leaves home and sets up a new life on sunny beaches to chase his dream of becoming a professional surfer.

The game will focus on the surfing side of things, giving you control of ten different characters from the film and throwing you out to sea to ride the waves.

You will have to perform stunts and tricks and master surfing inside a 'tube' to impress onlookers and become the champion of Reggie Belafonte Big Z Memorial Surf Off... apparently.

Different environments, from "the calm water of Shiverpool" to the "explosive waters of the volcano area" will no doubt offer changing surfing conditions new challenges, and seeing these screens, it actually looks quite nice too.

Surfs Up is due for release on September 27 for PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, Wii, PSP, DS, PC and even GBA and GameCube. Are you sure you haven't missed any, Ubisoft? How about Dreamcast?... Super NES, maybe?
