SSX Blur - Nintendo Wii

This game is a combination of races from SSX3 and SSX World Tour. It contains no new events to my knowledge. The only thing thats new is the use of the Wii-mote, which is much more difficult to use for Uber Tricks than either the Dualshock or the Xbox1 controller.Not a bad game, but lacking in innovation. I cant wait for SSX4 or a real SSX sequel.

This game is great. The control scheme is beautiful, especially if you have the Nyko Wireless Sensor Bar. HOWEVER, load times hurt. ...and you are compelled to wait, every time, rather than skip them.Peak 1 is ... not nice ... like that. Happiness (peak 2) rocks!

I bought my wife a Wii and this was one of the must-have games for her, since she loves the SSX series. We knew to expect a 'greatest hits' of tracks and characters from the series, along with a Wii-specific control system. What could go wrong?SSX 3 was by far the best game of the series. Everything was just right. Previous games were harder to control, and SSX On Tour just somehow missed being as much fun. This game mainly replicates SSX 3, but badly. Oh, the courses are fine, but the great music is gone. Rather than license music for the game as all previous SSX games have done, this time we get a score entirely by Junkie XL. It's like having a karaoke version of a favourite compilation. In fact, where we had an early Chemical Brothers song on SSX 3, we now get a bad imitation of a Chemical Brother song - right down to the drum sounds! When the track fades out as you perform a particularly high-in-the-air trick, it no longer sounds as cool.There is a much more limited selection of characters... who no longer speak. That's right. My PS2 in 2003 could have the characters shout things at each other as they passed one another, or comment on how they were doing when they fudged up a trick. No longer.Essentially, all the personality of the last two games is gone, and it's a great loss.This would be fine if the rest of the game made up for it. For example, a new, intuitive control system would be far superior to just mashing at buttons, right?Sadly, no. It's not that the controls are difficult to use... they are, but they can be learned. Now I disagree with other reviewers who say that's okay, because the main selling point of the Wii was to have controls easy enough for non-gamers to use... making it a console for everybody. I think the development team misunderstood this. They saw possibilities for the dual control system, but they forgot to make it easy to use.Regardless, after a couple of days you'll have the controls down. This leads, though, to the next problem: just as you think you have them under wraps, you discover that the controls are also wildly inconsistent. SO now you know how to perform those tricks and get round those tight bends, you find out that half the time the character doesn't do what you ask of it.That's the final nail in the coffin for this game.Avoid it, go get the Gamecube version of SSX 3 second-hand and play that on your Wii instead. At least then you'll have some fun.

Wii is fun, SSX to me has always been the most fun snowboarding game, yeah its over the top, but that's why its fun.Amazon requiring 16 words or more in these comments is BS, most people (including myself) will just bail and not even bother with this rating, but in fairness to this product and seller, I did it anyway.

If you like the SSX series, as I do, you are going to like this game. it is a totally new way to play SSX. A lot of fun, and definitely a lot of replay value.

It's just not the same as the SSX games for the PS2. The PS2 games were epic. This one is just OK.

Motion controls are one of things that sound great in theory, but just aren't practical. I've never been a fan of sports games, so I figured this one would give me a better experience...boy was I wrong. The controls were needlessly complex and the cursor for the main menu BARELY RESPONDS. The music, graphics, level designs, and character designs are passable for a Gen 7 game, but that's the only good thing I have to say.Avoid this game if motion controls aren't your strong suit.

Fun game!

Good thx
