With many Wii games getting tacked on controls, it's almost refreshing to see EA has really put it's time into thinking of cool ways to control your ability to snowboard. This is this games main strengths and it passes with flying colors. SSX Blur is not a completely original title, rather it is a reworking from past tracks in this classic franchise. This being said if you are a long time fan of the series this may seem like a letdown in terms of content originality, however if this is your first trip into the franchise, then you really have nothing to worry about as there is a lot of content here to play through. Like I said earlier controls are the main thing going for in this title, and at first you feel totally lost. This is why I highly recommend going through the games tutorial before ever venturing onto the snow. This is to say you will not be able to pick this game up in just 10 minutes, rather given a good half hour in the tutorial you should be carving snow in no time. As for graphics the game looks really decent especially compared to some of the more "rushed" games on the Nintendo Wii. When all is said and done, SSX Blur can be considered a rousing success. However if your are looking for a game which you can pick up and play in a matter of minutes, you may be a little put off, otherwise the title is strongly recommended.
