Gamepro gave SSX Blur a 2.5 out of 5 and they said they gave that score because of BAD controls.

Yea, high "A" after hearing about the controls.  Or maybe it will get low AA and just have a high difficulty?

gamepro gave it a low score while gametrailers gave it a high score...this is why making a game purchase based on a review is dumb IMO

lol gamenoobs. Kikouken
i know right!!!! i mean they played the game and you havent and you still think there noobs for giving the game bad controlls!!!!!! it just may have bad controlls. SSX is not a wii game by itself, its just ssX4 with some new wii controlls. lol totally man. totally I have not played it myself and refuse to. EA is not my best friend.

I find it hard to trust bad Wii Reviews.  You can't really judge a Wii game like you might an Xbox or PC game.  There's a difference between controls you're not used to, and broken controls.  I think too many sites are giving bad Wii controls because they're too smug to take the time to figure out the controls.  Some of Gamespot's editors do an ok job, but sites like GamePro don't really get the Wii that much.  Thanks for the Gametrailers post.  It makes the game look very promising to someone who hasn't played SSX since Tricky on the Cube.

IMO that's right..why?

Here's the reason...it's complicated

There are two types of wii games: Wii games that substitute buttons for motion and games that are built for motion

Wii sports is good and its built from motion and games like SSX, substitute buttons for motion

Now I'm not saying that ALL wii games built for substitution are bad, but most of them lack creativity and so...you get scores like this

I'm surprised their opinions vary so much, but I trust gametrailer.com and love the SSX series so I'm still going to buy it.

that review was less than a paragraph long with some pictures added in, and "The controls suck" is not a valled arguement. Gameranking's review gave reasons why the controls were good after you got used to them ("you won't ever want to go back"), so i kinda trust them more than this guy who probably picked the game up after his lunch break and had to have something online by the end of the day. i'm impressed with gameranking's site, even though they're fairly new, they've hit the ground running. they're now one of my top sources for gaming... plus they have a podcast that doesn't suck *cough on the spot cough*

You've hit the nail on the head. Some reviewers obviously don't like having to get used to the controls of games because their egos are so inflated they refuse to give some things a chance. Then there are the ones who probably get offended because they weigh 300 pounds and the Wii requires some exercise.
