Picked this up from Tesco last night - Played a few hours and really like it. It lacks RUN DMC though
It's Tricky is in it
it is a remix though.

Yeah the RUN DMC song is in it when you activate Tricky. Also you can turn off the remix version and have the original in the options menu

They did say about this early on in development. How they would have to scale things down and drop certain things in the online system to get Split screen to work so they dropped the Split screen.
Tbh I'm glad they did as I think the online system is really well done and works flawlessly. Also it's a lot of fun once you start using it!
I have completed the tour and I feel that it is lacking in run length. I loved it on SSX3 where you could start at the top of the mountain and board all the way to the bottom in about half hour. It seems no run on here is more than a few minutes.

I'm not keen on the right stick as I didn't find it as accurate or easy to pull off the moves I wanted when I wanted them.
I agree. The long runs are what made SSX3 great.
And I also miss the dedicated trick or race runs. Runs that do both mean they are not excellent at either.
There is more of an element of lots and lots of the same thing in this one. But its Ok because its a good thing

Just use your shadow to judge the jumps in avalance. Once your used to the camera angle I found they are a lot of fun!
Yes and no. I did love them, but they were far far far to easy. There was absolutely no challenge in them. Whereas the levels in this game can be very difficult, which I love.

Yeah I miss SSX Tricky half pipes.
I have nearly bought this so many times over the last week but I just can't bring myself to do it. I loved the old SSX games and the best parts of them seem to have been taken out.
I want to play split screen with a mate and I want to do the huge half hour runs from the very top of the mountain. Real shame as I was looking forward to this for ages.

Bought it over the weekend, very very disappointed at the night levels, always smacks of poor level design for me and this is no exception, the second deadly descent stage is a lesson in pure memory for which way to go as most of the gaps are completely invisible until you are on them, such a pity as otherwise it seems to be great.
Really not sure why I would even bother using the online pass either, seems to be perfectly playable without it and I've yet to find any reason to even bother using the code?

...well it depends if you want to do the online stuff. You get no money without the pass I think.
