Quartertothree SSX Review - There’s a reason it’s called SSsex

Quartertothree: where SSX really blows the lid off its own smart and varied design is that it lets you ignore any gimmick you don’t like. As awesome as outracing an avalanche might sound, I’m happy to never have to do it again. And that’s cool with SSX, a game without plateaus or brick walls, a game built to let you play on your mountain playgrounds however you like, however developed or underdeveloped your thumb wizardry.

Played it, beat it and moved on. Are they now going to work on an SSX which is actually fun?
Yes your mountains are impressive, yes the scenery looks great and the ideas for escaping avalanches, nighttimes, cold weather are all great but I remember SSX originally as fun.

No disrespect to the EA crew for their great efforts in making this game and I commend them on their results but I want a game which is a buzz and doesn't stress you out like this one can. Now please do a tricky 2012 which is an add on or a new version with more funky lights, not open barren landscapes. Even games like hitting targets or certain moves on jumps etc. fun elements...

Totally agree on the stress that this game causes. They should've taken a hint when they made the Rewind mechanic so essential. It's ridiculously difficult to have fun exploring the environments if you NEVER KNOW when an gaping abyss might be past the next ridge, waiting to suck you in, force you to rewind, and sacrifice time, combos, points, or all of the above.

It gets exasperating really fast.

Thanks for the input you guys. I was going to take advantage of the $20 off sale BB was having this week and pick this title up. Guess I will GF it instead.
