Playing ssx was great fun however I was frustrated with how easy it was. Practically impossible to mess up as your character always auto corrects themselves causing you to continue riding even if you was about to land on your neck. Thankfully the challenges seem to be hard which makes up for it, i shall learn to master high scoring combos instead.

I actually thought the demo was tricky (no pun intended hehe) because I was having a hard time getting used to the controls. But I'm sure ill get used to it.

Not buying EA games new, and not buying them for over £20, so I'll have to wait for SSX. Really wanted one earlier on in this generation when the graphics still had that "wow" factor, but better late than never I guess.

i like the game over wall but I CANT STAND how the always make go onto rails when I'M TRYING NOT TO. this drives me insane. Also it might just be the character is buffed up but its hard to steer with precision. I over correct too often and mid way thru the race you mess that little thing up. NO GOLD. angry

I don't know yet about the game. and yes its near impossible to " Fall "

I loved the hell out of SSx3 too. oh and Dubstep sucks

Definitely need to check out the SSX demo. Haven't played a snowboarding game this console cycle. Amped 3 didn't look that great to me.

BinaryDomain is from the Creator of the Yakuza-Series (PS2/3).
I like it, but not for full price.

Voice-Commands are funny if you ignore them and just listen to the stuff they have to say! XD

But I tried the demo yesterday, which was just disappointing. So I'm not sure if I even buy this for 20€ or less...
Amped 3 was much better...

Did someone say amped 3 was better? There is no way i just read that, especially after playing the demo, which BLEW my mind.
