SSX Blur WII)

Must-have for the Wii

Strengths: Great atmosphere and design, fun and rewarding controls, plenty of interesting objectives, best music in the series.

Weakness: A bit more difficult than other SSX games, frustratingly difficult at times.

The control scheme seems to be the most influencing factor in the reviews for this game. If the reviewer doesn't get used to the controls, they pan the game. This is unfortunate because this is easily one of the most well-designed games in the SSX series. It took about a day to get used to the controls, and I admit I was unsure about the uber-trick design at first. Gamespot called the uber-trick...

The Wii gets an SSX exclusive

Strengths: Great graphics, interesting trick system, fun SSX game

Weakness: Tricks are hard to pull off, cartoony look may be misleading (that the game is easier or for kids)

SSX is Electronic Arts' long-running snowboarding simulator, and it lands on the Wii exclusively this year with an interesting game. On one hand I wanted to really like it (SSX Tricky was my favorite Gamecube launch-ish title) but the other the game is very difficult. When Nintendo launched the Wii, I think the point of the motion controls was to make games more simple to control. EA definitely...

FUN!

Strengths: Very cool controls and awesome graphics!

Weakness: none

The visuals just blew me away with their cartoonish effect. The motion controls work fluently in SSX Blur too. This is a must buy for all Wii owners and nobody will be disappointed.

SSX Blur Review

Strengths: Classic SSX gameplay

Weakness: Subpar graphics, controls arent great

SSX has been a great franchise since its start on the PS2, and while it is still a good game, it hasn't evolved much upon the original in my opinion. The game is still very fun, but the Wii controls leave a bit to be desired. It works well enough though, and doesn't take away to much from the game. Overall, SSX Blur is a fun game with a few flaws.

slightly disappointing

Strengths: * same type of gameplay as the SSX series * utilizes the wiimote & nunchuck effectively * price

Weakness: * a little tough to get the hang of * not as polished as SSX Tricky/3

I was excited to get this game because I thought SSX Tricky & SSX3 were really fun. I was a little disappointed in this as the gameplay didn't seem as polished as the previous 2 versions. I think that part of the problem is that the wiimore & nunchuck take a little getting used to for this type of game and because it's so hard in the beginning, it's a bit of a turn off. With the previous SSX...

A good snowboarding title... but tricky controls

Strengths: Graphic, sound & replay factor are all great

Weakness: The uber tricks are just too hard to do consistently

If you liked the Tony Hawk series of games, you'll probably like the SSX Blur Wii game as well. They're challenging and a lot of fun, really. The main problem with the game is the controls. To get complete use of the Wii controller the game developers made every action dependent on hand movement on both the controller and the nunchuk, taking a lot of coordination. To perform an 'uber trick' the...

SSX Blur: Snowboard action for the Wii

Strengths: -Rewarding controls -Smooth game play -Clean graphics (for the Wii)

Weakness: -No online play -Controls can be hard to learn at first

If anyone is looking for a great snowboard game for the Wii, look no further. The game play in the game is reminiscent of previous SSX games while still integrating the Wiimote. There is a large amount of content through the various courses and setting high scores to beat. The controls are rewarding once you figure them out and it makes pulling off that hard trick all that much better. Couple...

SSX Blur Wii

Strengths: Great use of the Wiimote and porting of the SSX series to the Wii. Fun and addictive gameplay and good graphics too. Good party game.

Weakness: Not as slick as the other consoles in graphics and gameplay. Hard to do uber tricks with a Wiimote.

If you've ever wanted a snowboarding game and own a Wii, your choices are slim. Thankfully, SSX Blur is a great snowboarding game and is from a line of great snowboarding games.

Love this game

Strengths: Lots of content to unlock and many characters to choose from.

Weakness: It takes quite sometime to get the more advanced tricks to work.

I would recommend this game to anyone who likes snow boarding games. I really enjoyed playing. It is rather difficult at first to get the hang of it. Stick with the easier tricks at first or you may get frustrated playing.

SSX Blur

Strengths: many different types of tricks, gameplay, and tracks to choose from

Weakness: the controls are difficult to get used to

SSX Blur is a very fun game. You can choose what type of game you want to play,you can race, try to get the most points in a certain amount of time, or try to do a certain difficult trick. On top of the game types, there are many characters and boards to choose from. One of the most fun and most frustrating aspects of the game are the tricks done with motion controls. There are many different...
