Abstract: Everyone checks the score first don’t they? It’s a bit low isn’t it! Well for me it is a SSX is a series I loved right from the very start. I still have the original PS2 release somewhere and you can quickly tell from the scratch-ridden finger print-la...
Innovative control system great fun if you have the patience, Ubertricks and the groove metre
Nothing new worth mentioning added to the series, Frustrating if you dont have the patience
One thing EA have always been great at in the SSX games is the presentation and the Wii version is no different with easy to use well-laid out menus, but graphically, SSX Blur looks like a PS2 game. But, the cartoon styled characters won’t put you o...
Abstract: When the PS2 first debuted, everyone thought the snowboarding game Cool Boarders was going to be the dominating snowboarding game since that was the story on the PlayStation. Then something BIG happened. EA Games debuted a new title for would-be and di...
Abstract: Talk about having to re-learn how to play videogames on the Nintendo Wii! Anyone who even dares skip the tutorial in Electronic Arts SSX Blur will likely be struggling to even travel in a straight line properly, let alone showing off the finely tuned ...
Highly satisfying and unique control scheme; fantastic music really heightens the game environment; stylish interface.
Levels reused from SSX 3 and SSX On Tour; long loading times; so-so character redesigns; steep learning curve for the controls, with a tutorial that only confuses matters.
While it does take a while to get used to the controls, after the initial adjustment period SSX Blur feels like a revolutionary new step in the extreme sports genre.
Creative new control scheme makes use of the Wiis abilities; Plenty to explore and unlock; Great Presentation and Music; 2 player multiplay; A style and flow not seen in any other Wii game to date.

One of the best games for Wii thus far, which challenges on a hardcore level, and pays off with time and dedication. It sports a strong presentation and innovative control scheme which incorporates full use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Heres hoping ...
Abstract: Do the motion controls groove with the game? Read the review to find out. SSX is a fairly well established franchise by this point. Starting out as a launch title for Sonys Playstation 2, this arcade snowboarding game has grown more over the top with...
Abstract: Will the day ever come when video games are button-free? It sounds like a strange idea, but that was the partial goal of the Nintendo Wii adaptation of the SSX series, SSX Blur. The concept was to make the game as Wii-specific as possible – that is...
Crisp visuals; good controls when mastered; excellent soundtrack; should appeal to fans of the series.
Tough initial learning curve; ubers are unreliable; multiplayer is an afterthought; limited tricks.
What do you get when you take a tried-and-tested series of well-liked games and shoehorn in the Wiis new control system? I could say "its a mixed bag" but not only would it enrage my copy editor, it would fail to do justice to SSX Blur. The SSX serie...
