SSX Blur

"No matter how badly you want to get into the game, to find the flow...the game doesn't let you. And that's too bad, because it really does look great, the multiplayer mode is basic yet competent, and there are flashes of true SSX brilliance. As a "My First SSX" for someone who hasn't been trained on the standard joypad, Blur is serviceable and enjoyable at times, despite the uneven learning curve. But the SSX veteran is likely to want something that's more defined."

"It's too bad the controls got botched because this one is brimming with content."

"By attempting to innovate the way the game is controlled, the overall quality of the title is far removed from what would be expected from an SSX diehard. EA really needs to hit the drawing board much harder for any future SSX Wii releases."

"SSX Blur has its moments, both joyful and frustrating, but it winds up being a solid entry in the SSX series."

"I really liked the game when I got over the controls' initial crazy learning curve, but after a while, my overall interest began to wane. Trying before you buy is probably the way to go here."
