Re: SSX Blur

The review on gametrailers was pretty good. They only had complaints about few tricks, tricky controls on the super tricks, no online, and so, so multiplayer.

But they said the controls other than the super tricks were spot on.

Well right now it's two pretty low reviews and two pretty high reviews. Need more to get a concensus. GameSpot's preview was really positive, in line with what Vonwert says the GT review said. It brought me from piqued interest to wanting to buy.

Re: SSX Blur

I might want to try this. Although I'm not familiar with snowboarding games, it looks like an interesting choice for me.

Re: SSX Blur

I havent played SSX since number 3, so I'll probably pick this up if it gets decent reviews.

I wish it had online, so i could kick Kire's @ss. I havent had the chance to do that since like 2004

Re: SSX Blur

I only ever played the very first one for PS2 and liked it very much.

MAYBE THIS ONE WILL BE GOOD

Re: SSX Blur

Isnt this supposed to just be SSX3 but ported to new systems, with new stuff?

[Marc M.]

Re: SSX Blur

No, its all new stuff. It just uses the Single Mountain thing that 3 used.

Re: SSX Blur

And it reuses tracks from SSX 3 and On Tour. And I remember hearing they change some parts of those courses to mix them up.

[DarkwingChuck]

Re: SSX Blur

Yeah, nothing's really new. It uses courses, characters, etc from throughout the series. It's more of a best of compilation. But everything's got small changes and of course the whole new control scheme. Also, there's less tricks and stuff.

Re: SSX Blur

I don't see what the big deal is, the reviews look like reviews for just about every other wii game; ambitious design, flawed execution.

Re: SSX Blur

Holy crap. I just rented it and...man, I'm glad I didn't buy it.

I have no problem w/ the controls...I can pull stuff off just fine, but...it's funny, the turning feels a little more rewarding w/ twisting the 'chuk back and forth, but the way tricks are pulled off in the air feels retarded and non-rewarding. That's not even the biggest problem though.

This game is so stripped down it hurts. Bad music. No voice acting. Bland characters. when I win a race, all I get is a cheesy "raise the roof" animation. No leveling up. This game seems so rushed it makes me want to cry. After playing a couple races and trick sessions, I was done.

Whoever EA had make this, they obviously rushed it and have made other games their main priorities. I could be wrong though...all in all, though, disappointing effort. I'm fine w/ the controls and don't like it for the reasons I actually haven't heard much fuss over (poor production values).

SSX Tricky still seems to be the best in the series.

Disappointing

Re: SSX Blur

Never played a SSX game, I've heard that fans are not pleased with it. But what about people who never played the series before?
