Rehash of old races -  - This game is a combination of races from SSX3 and SSX World Tour. It contains no new events to my knowledge. The only thing thats new is the use of the Wii-mote, which is much more difficult to use for Uber Tricks than either the Dualshock or the Xbox1 controller.
Not a bad game, but lacking in innovation. I cant wait for SSX4 or a real SSX sequel.
Difficult to play -  - I know people like this game for its previous titles but this game is barely playable. Sometimes there is just no rhyme or reason for the controls. You can just wave the control around but you really have no idea what you are doing. Difficult at best to get your character to actually do what you want them to do.
If You Like The SSX Series, DON'T Buy This Game -  - The SSX series was the best gaming series ever made in my aspect, that is until EA Games made the horrible mistake of partnering with Nintendo. I love Nintendo product, but Nintendo has just gone too far fetched this time and destroyed a great game.
CONS (Where to start):
1. The maps are the same exact as SSX On Tour, what happened to originality. I was expecting fresh tracks. Not only that, but instead of looking cool like with the old games, the tracks now looks like a 3 year old's overactive imagination.
2. The controls are horrible. Who wants to flail their arms around to make funny shapes with the pointer to do uber tricks? Also, what happened to tweak, and being able to do multiple grabs at once (I would love to see someone tilt a controller in all four directions at the same time to do a scientific.) [The controls don't give that much control either.]
3. SNOWBALLS!?! What happened to shove [or push or whatever you want to call it]? You now throw snowballs to knock an opponent over, what a disgrace to the series.
4. What happened to the base lodges and clothing?
5. The loading for the events takes forever.
Pros:
1. The game disc makes a good frisbee for your dogs, but you dog might appreciate this better
Whamo Classic Frisbee,
and it is much cheaper.
The main conclusion I am trying to make is if you have been enjoying this series since its early conception, then don't buy this game. It will disappoint, frustrate, and annoy you. It might even turn you off to future releases of the game (like it did with me). Now if you never played an SSX game before and you don't have a PS2, then by all means buy this game; you can't get as disappointed with since you don't have a comparison. But if you are new to the series and have a PS2, grab a copy of SSX on Tour instead, you will be much happier.
Nintendo has gotten lazy... - - I was extremely disappointed when I played this game. Save your money and buy SSX 3 because this is same game with a small graphical update, less characters, less slopes, less gear, less boards, less options exept a new type of tournament, and a higher price. They didnt even even add online play. Nintendo basically recycled and simplified and old game for more money. Shame on you Nintendo, you should know better. Please, dont let them get away with this! Buy SSX 3 instead, you'll save a lot of money.
I might get downed a lot for this but its all true. Anyone who owns or has played SSX 3 would know. I own SSX 3 and Blur, and played them both throughly, so I would know.

Good Buy -  - Playing a lot and not boring yet. Special tricks are hard to do kind of like trying to do in real life. But after you learned a few tricks, it feels really rewarding when you pulled it off a new trick. Best part about this game is cruising around trying to line up tricks and trying to slaughter half pipe competition.
