SSX Blur for Wii

Nazca · 22 Mar 2007 at 02:50

I'm thinking of buying SSX Blur. I've heard it's good but the ubertricks are really hard to get done.

For those who have it or have played it, is it worth buying?

Its a decent game, but the controls are somewhat awkward to start with, and yes, the ubertricks are stupidly hard.

looks nice, found it hard with wii controller, beginning to find that unless the game has a marble in it then the wii remote in these sort of games don't work to well when compared to traditional methods, lol

I don't think the ubertricks are that hard. It's a good game.

You get a poxy little squiggle at the bottom of the screen, by the time you've figured it out you've already landed

I couldn't even do the training one, looked like a tangled up piece of string I was supposed to draw!

Got this game today, lovely graphics and the music is pretty cool once you start goin'. Unfortunately, I'm finding the control system quite frustrating at the moment and I haven't even got out of the training stages yet

On a positive, it does seem to get a little easier / intuitive each time I play

Just picked this up on rental.

Controls appear to be frustrating to the point of me not enjoying the game which is a shame as I like the SSX series.

Will persist a little longer but most likely being returned today.

Dissapointed.

Bought it and exchanged it a few days later, far from enhancing the game i found the controls were so bad that they really made the game much less fun than it would have been on a standard pad

Takes a while to get the ubertricks down but I thought it was a decent game once I got going. You can actually practice the motions in the simple ubertrick menu. Tight, quick paced motions work well for me rather than doing big waving motions. I haven't played an SSX game since the first one on PS2 so the track rehashing doesn't bother me. I hate the slalom races though.. can never get the turning right half the time.
