SSX

Very Frustrating.

I absolutely loved the SSX series until this game came out. All that has changed now, this game is simple aweful. SSX is supposed to be about huge tricks and going super fast on awesome runs. It's not supposed to be about restarting levels over and over and over because the runs are all riddled with crevases and chasms that are all but unavoidable. They might be tolerable if the controls werent so bad but they are simple too twitchy, staying on track is all but impossible in this game. I am a sad panda today after a game that I have been so excited for turned out to be so aweful.

It amazes me that people are giving this game high marks. It just doesnt deserve them in any way shape or form. But if you enjoy mind numbing frustrastion restarting levels over and over and over as you race off the mountain too your doom then you might love this piece of trash.

  Extreme sports games died in the mid-2000s. They were a relic of last generation's ideals, a fleeting memory of joy that developers couldn't capture again. Then SSX rose from the dead in the most spectacular fashion, lik... Read Full Review
