SSX Blur finally came in the mail yesterday. I only had a brief chance to try it out.

Highlights:

* Controls are a whole lot different on the Wii. Thanks to that, I suck at SSX now. lol

* My hate for JunkieXL continues. The man makes crappy music--why does he get to mix the entire soundtrack? *sob*

* Is it just me or is the framerate in Blur worse than on the Cube? The picture would seizure at least once on every track. I suppose it's because this is a bigger disc so it has a larger read area, as well as the fact that EA makes millions on every SSX game and doesn't care.

Despite that, it looks like it has the potential to be fun. The controls are certainly a challenge though. I will need to devote some time to getting them down.

I don't know how much luck I will have convincing my girlfriend to play this with me. She is a big SSX fan, but she is not into investing large amounts of time into a game to learn controls. I hope she gives it a shot, because I bought this game so that we could have something to play together.
