The Dreamcast and PlayStation versions received "mixed" reviews, while the PC version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[18][19][20] Daniel Erickson of Next Generation said that the Dreamcast version was "Easily the best next-generation surfing game so far."[15]

gollark: I have an old Android tablet which works okay, though I probably wouldn't *buy* one (it was free-to-me in some way).
gollark: It runs on tablets → it is a tablet OS.
gollark: it totally is.
gollark: Eh.
gollark: But my worry with higher-end monitors and panels is that it'll briefly be very shiny and cool, but then I'll get used to it, find the old monitors bad, and be forced to spend a lot more for not much actual benefit later.
