So we can play online together.

Add me (Andrespetmonkey) and I'll be on in about an hour ;)

Guess not ;;;;;(((((((

I don't think anyone is, the servers were basically empty when I was last playing...

It is especially sad as their game basically relied on huge numbers of online players, the game is great fun though

Bad Basil. Very very bad Basil. 

I'm consistently getting games, only takes a few seconds. Never a full game though, usually 3-5.

Oh hang on, are you doing actual real time multiplayer? I haven't played the game since they added that

yup. Well I was yesterday, servers are down right now 

I bought it when HMV was "shutting down" for peanuts. Haven't played it yet. Will give it a try once I'm finished with Uncharted 2.

How is it? Bonus points if you can compare it to SSX 3.

It's very fun, a pure adrenaline rush. Controls can be a little fiddly but once you get comfortable with them you'll start pulling off several tricks and dozens of variations, so it stays fresh. Some of the more narrow race events can be fucking butt clenching, which you may like but they're more frustrating than fun to me. The wide-open trick events are all I play online. 

So it's a great game, but in comparison to classic SSX it feels... off. I LOVED tricky and 3, and I was expecting to feel like a giddy 10 year old again, but I didn't feel nostalgic at all playing the reboot. The atmosphere is different, the riders have no personality (comic book cut scenes are shit) and the soundtrack is dominated by british rap and dubstep instead of the old alt rock and 90s dance music. You can put on a custom soundtrack though, so I did that.
