How many games actually have local multiplayer anymore? Some games may have added that feature back, but for all the Xbox Live capable games, how many have the same capabilities locally? Its few and far between from my experiences. To me, SSX, Skate, etc aren't so much "head to head" games as lets pick an area, you go first and I'll try to beat your score.

I'm sure if they could include everything they would, but things are often left out in order to satisfy other things. Call of Duty's single player suffers as multiplayer gets the bigger focus. As long as SSX has a wide open and deep single player "campaign" I'll be happy. If I can't go "head to head" then so be it.

Again a reaffirmation as to why online gaming has ruined gaming.
The core single player experience is gone and now favored on quick one off quick plays when the main game should have more core substanceBrand New Tomba Slider sets ready for Next Gen Versions of NBA,Madden and Fifa Stay Tuned...Comment

You complain about online gaming ruining core gaming (for what it's worth, I agree), but you complain about RPG's getting high scores. RPG's rarely ever have a multiplayer component, and if they do, it's usually very basic (like Mass Effect 3's co-op mode).Comment

I think his point was that IGN will write a rave review about a sports game and give it an 8, then review a big name rpg and use phrases like "tried and true formula" or other language that might seem a bit lukewarm but the score will be >9.Now playing
too much

and dont forget "the casual gamer". whether they realise it or not the casual gamer is destroying gaming also.
and by casual i dont mean a person(s) who only play games as his/her time permits.

It would be like if a game like madden at some point in the future didnt give gamers the ability to play head to head offline. We'd all agree that that would be a pretty stupid ommision...same thing here.
there was a point in my life that i honestly thought when i would be 50 id be busting my kids kids butts in gaming or atleast that i'd still enjoy the passion to share in the experience with them.
now i can see a future in which i know longer even game at all. and thats sad because i love getting down on the sticks.Through Holy Union God Lives Inside For Everyone

i played the demo and hated that "auto-correct" crap on the landing. no challenge, no skill required. just like every other game out there - they made it easier...God forbid someone should fail and have hurt feelings...boo hoo. the control also felt pretty sloppy and i didn't really feel like i could control where my character went. fun for a few minutes, but after that the automated feel and repetitiveness becomes too much.Comment

I landed with the board head PERPENDICULAR to the ground and landed perfectly and got major boost points. I understand making it accessible, but it's just too much. If everything is too easy to land, the fun factor of landing a crazy jump/trick is almost gone if not gone altogether. The risk/reward of past SSX games also goes out the door. I'm behind in this race and I need a boost, should I risk this huge trick? I remember going over those scenarios in past SSX games. This game, I see a place to trick, I go for it with reckless abandon.
I know the game is arcade, the old SSX games were pure arcade but the challenge made things worthwhile. I hope this "auto-correct" can be disabled somehow, because it just takes away the essence of SSX imo.Comment

Nothing like a good video to show just how difficult they made the game...

Get some friends and have fun competing against their times/scores.
As a skier/snowboarder their whole life, this game is a must own because it is fun in the fact that it gives you that racing down the mountain feel.
Granted its not realistic, but that is not the point. The point is, it's FUN.Comment

I guess if all you want to do is make it down the mountain, then ya, but the course they were doing that on didn't appear to be difficult at all (eg: no pitfalls, no cliffs, etc). As long as there is a challenge to get Gold or whatever the max reward is then I'll be happy. From what I can tell it appears to be "accessible," but it will still take skill to master.

Understood.
By the way, I only played the demo once, but did anyone else happen to notice there was incredibly poor input delay when it came to using the sticks? When you would turn or jump, it was pretty laggy.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment
