SSX (PS3) Review - Push Square

Mark Reece writes:

"Despite its slip-ups — most of which could have been easily avoided or fixed — to say that SSX is a bad game would disregard its attempts to provide a thrilling, fast-paced snowboarding experience. If you’re prepared to stick to its well-crafted online modes and endure its over-sensitive handling the fun just about outweighs the moments of frustration brought about by questionable course design and the poorly implemented rewind mechanic."

This review agrees with me more than these 9 or 10 out of 10 scores that I have seen. From the demo that I played, the game seems to be jack of all trades and lacks its own identity. It felt a little bit 1080 Avalanche except more trick oriented. The skiers wear garish neon suits like nothing's changed since SSX Tricky but, sadly, it has changed - it's not as over the top fun as SSX Tricky. It's like a skiing game designed by committee designed to appeal to the majority.

i disagree with everything you said. it feels, looks, and plays like ssx always has and that is its identity. they toned down how over the top it was simply becuase you are right, things have changed slightly and it may be silly to do what they did in 2002. it also has the deadly decents which helps make it even more unique. toss in all the gear, equipment, online innovations.....you know what, you played the demo, your opinion is pretty much invalid until you have played the whole game becuase the demo is about a 1% taste of what the full game is all about

what you did there is the equivalent of me watching 5 mins of a movie and then trying to critique it....

Picnic5184d ago (Edited 5184d ago )

It's the demo's job to get me interested regardless of what else is in the game. It didn't impress me any more than my existing copy of 1080 Avalanche does so I'd rather just play my old game. I know that's not a typical consumer way of looking at things but it would have probably have had to have been wacky like SSX Tricky to have interested me. Anyone who wants to buy the game based on their own instinct or preferences - or the slew of 9/10 reviews, is free to do so. But there are 5/10 reviews out there, one of which is by Edge. They sometimes vastly underscore some games but sometimes there will be a good reason for it.

And yes Knushwood the scenes in the helicopter are very averagely drawn.

I just came off playing the demo, and quite frankly, thought it was meh.

Apart from anything, those scenes inside the aeroplane look really bad, and why is that rider doing Kung Fu before going boarding???
