Official SSX Impressions

Better challenge,ya know since you have no problems outscroing the AI.

Patagonia: Blackbox Trick it
First rail AI scores 225,000 every time on the rail then it goes up to about 315,000 when they jump off. Go outscore that,not for the whole run,that specific rail and tell me how. No trick boost board.

The 80,000 one is Siberia: Diamondback.

I don't think you really need to look at what the CPU is doing with their tricks to get their scores. It's basically just telling you: Here is a gold run, and this is the score you have to beat. I haven't gotten "frustrated" with not getting first place yet, but I'm still very early into World Tour mode.

I've never entered one event where it's a one trick showdown.

How about GOH posts a screen shot showing these claims of SUPER COMPUTER because I have yet to see anything like that happen to me. Maybe you should play the tutorial again and pay attention this time. Blaming a game for not being able to do the moves when no one else is having these problems tells me you have some type of issue with EA or maybe you just need a new controller. This game is straight crack like Blzer said. I'm sure your OPINION isn't going to make anyone else not buy it since you are the only one that has anything bad to say about the game. I'm sure there are glitches and bugs but it's not a SIM game, it's fantasy, so take this post for what it's worth. SSX FANBOY!

I thought it couldn't get worse than the wingsuit. Hello avalanche cam. But hey at least it can't get worse than that right?! "Wrooonnngggg,you're WRONG!" High altitude effects! Then there's the solar one which is the same but with ice. I clearly need even higher standards to have thought this couldn't get worse after the wingsuit.

I know it's not a sim and no I'm not the only one that had something bad to say. That's why my first post said calling it awful is generous because someone else said it's awful. The review on TV the other day said it was soulless but still gave it 7.5 and Edge only gave it a 5. Still way over rated. Also I said I figured out the sig moves...twice. No I don't have anything against EA.

Pics? Good idea...so good I thought of it before since I recently got a camera and people oft think "well this stuff only happens to goh,let's not listen to him,he must be making it up." and was like hey I can take pics this time!

Firstly this...



Finally got something entertaining out of this.
Beat that Shaun White!
Hopefully a spin that big would reverse the rotation of earth moving time back to when they started making this game so they can make it not suck so much.

105k in 2.89 seconds:



Got a trick for that?

Then I just stopped the next time thinking why the hell am I still playing this crap?:



535k in a minute?

So I went ahead and played but then stopped again.

It takes 2 minutes to score a million if I don't move:





Unless I play with them where it'll take ~20-25 seconds:



Yup the AI is totally legit. Sometimes they only get half as much,one time they got about a million in 10 seconds (but I didn't have the camera ready for that one),I've seen them fall down in front of the finish line once but that's all.

If I play a worse game than this this [112 expletives deleted] that comes out this year I quit,I will never buy another game. That is how bad this game is. I don't even know how you possibly make a game this bad. They should take ET out of that landfill,dig another hole down far as possible,put every copy of this SSX in that hole,fill it back in half way,put NeverDead in that hole then put the ET landfill back on top of it.

I do still have the online pass to give out.

[Equinox831]

Wow.. It is an arcade game man, you can't take it too seriously. You really have to play online because that's by far the best part of the game.

[LionsFanNJ]

Yeah. I can stomp the AI on trick events like that in a minute.

Anyway. "Manny bein Manny" comes to mind here.

Also fellas, add JamimusPrime on PS3 if you want.

[Fresh Tendrils]

Blzer summed it the best by saying this game is like crack, because it really is. I'm not even sure if I'm gonna fool around with world tour after unlocking explore mode because it is gonna be addicting. The automatic syncing of high-scores and ghosts within in the game is epic. Its like a living high-score wall you'd find in an arcade hall.

I don't pay attention to what the other boarders are doing during trick events. I just look at the total score and the medal breakdowns and go for what I can do go from there. I don't see how you can even begin to play the game, much less enjoy it, when you're nitpicking in so much detail as to criticize the AI for scoring so many points within a certain period of time. This game is fun as hell to me and it brings back that feeling I had when I used to play Cool Boarders.
