When you first start playing this game the controls take a while to get used too (especially if you played SSX). But after you get a faster board and get comfortable with the controls, this game is awesome. No flashy colors that SSX had and no "UBERS" but once you get all 12 coins (which are actually challenging to get especially with a friend online) you get these special features that increase speed and give you huge airtime like SSX. One thing that this game has over other snowboard games is the ability to turn the board sharper even while holding the jump button down. In SSX you had to release it (making you jump) and totally messing up the turn you were going into. If your trying to get something in this game you can set a marker there and then warp and retry if you mess up. This makes it way easier to get the tokens you have to pickup. I waited 2 weeks before I picked up my copy from Target because of Gamespots 5.0 rating. DO NOT LISTEN TO THERE REVIEW AND IF SO YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER PLAY THIS GREAT GAME!!!
