The Good

• Addictive gameplay

Needs Improvement

• Feedback on how stunts are performing is lacking

sin (Surfing) is one of those games that draws you in once you give it a few minutes of your time.  While it is super simple as a total game it is strangely addictive and very fun to play.  When I first launched the game I was like WTH is this?  My wife was watching me play and after crashing and burning for a while I decided to start hammering the A-button.  Next thing you know I'm surfing, hopping waves, and doing all sorts of whacky spins for points.

As you surf the sin wave (looks very much like a giant oscilloscope) you get points for doing stunts that boil down to jumping and spinning in air.  I found myself, 20 minutes after I started, completely engrossed in the game and trying to eek out just a few points more on each successive stunt.  It's truely addictive and although it looks very lame at first, I'd actually say it's worth the $2.50 or 200 points.  It's available now on the Marketplace for 200 points.
