SSX Review (360/PS3)

[spit_bubble]

Not really feeling this game so far, mainly because of the "deadly descents" aspect of it. In these portions of the game when you mess up it either forces you to use rewind, or start over at the very top. So basically you're stuck in 1980s videogame design where you have to try and try again until you pass the level. This is very much against the tone and feel of what made previous SSX games so good, as it leaves you feeling constrained rather than free.

That reminds me, it's redbox game week. You can get one day free rental (the catch, it has to be reserved online or through their app) so if anyone is on the fence still and thinks a day of the full game would help them decide then take advantage.

Damn, that will get annoying for you in the future for consoles. Seems like everything is moving to online gaming now.

I personally love it, so it makes me happy the way they set up SSX. We can still do private rooms with friends too and take runs..that is sick.

For maximum rentage, check your game out at 12:01 AM and you'll get a 45 hour "one day" rental.

Just went and bought it from Gamestop. I wish I would have known I was going to buy it so I could have got the pre-order bonus! Gamestop: exclusive Eddie Wachowski and his Elite snowboard with an attribute Perk.

Just watched the online feature of this game. Sounds really promising.

I usually don't play online but with this and UFC it's time to step out of my cocoon! lol

How do you set up private rooms?
