SSX Blur for Wii Reviews by Gamers

I love what they are trying to do here. But the controls are maddening. It is so insanely difficult to try and pull off super cool air tricks and land them with how the controls are schemed out. It is really a steep learning curve.
Really that's the whole point of any SSX title, nailing really cool mid air tricks and being able to land them. But this game makes it really hard to do that, and brings the fun factor down a bunch.
I don't mind the graphics too much, but they still can do better. The music is cool. I think so anyway. I haven't wanted a sound track for a game in a..well ...ever?
This game does have its moments, but you have to be really ready to cope with the ridiculous controls, and forget how crazy you look while trying to manipulate the nun chuck while trying desperately, (but mostly in vain) to do neat tricks. So....this SSX is a good start for #2 if there will be one, but as is, it just doesn't compel me to drag out my hard earned cash to pay for it other than a rental.
