Very Disappointing

So the soundtrack is amazing, one of the best I've seen in a game, but the gameplay is lack-luster at best.
First of the "story" mode, which doesn't have a story just a series of challenges to unlock everything, takes 4 hours.. if you aren't good. If I beat everything first try it probably would have taken me to 2 hours to unlock it all. Also there are glitches that make you have to restart races because you get stuck constantly.
Then there are the gimmicks, and oh my does this game have gimmicks. There's a challenge you have to do multiple times where everything is dark and you have to use a headlamp to see, except the headlamp is super dull so you basically have to restart the course until you memorize where the gaps are and what will kill you. The wingsuit is just as stupid and so is the oxygen tank (which you only use once).
I got this game at noon today and it's 4pm and I'm ready to return it because I've beaten all the challenges.
Bottom line: I was very excited to get this game but am so utterly disappointed by it I never want to play an SSX again. The game feels rushed and needed about another 6 months of design and story work.
