Ive been an SSX fan since Tricky, and ive got to say, this IS a good game. However, it lacks the simplicity in tricks that Tricky and On Tour had. Both of those games were much more customizable in characters and had a better track system. Blur has great art design, but it lacks (at least to me) the certain elements of On Tour and Tricky that made them great games. The Wii controls make it somewhat hard to steer and hard to even land a trick, while Uber Tricks are practically impossible to do. For one, there arent many jumps high enough to pull one off, and for another, when you "draw" the shape with the remote, the game rarely picks it up that you did one. I have to say, however, the races are very cool graphically. The cast of characters i was disappointed in slightly because the characters i grew to love in Tricky weren't included, or their character design was changed dramatically. Sometimes, the unlockables are very hard to unlock, especially the two other mountains you can board (or ski) on. All in all, though, if you are a fan of the SSX series, I encourage you to buy the game because it does give satisfaction and can be fun. However, this game isnt really for anyone new, and for those easily frustrated, is better left on the store shelf.
