Saw it yesterday in Gamespot Super Start Select and I got to say it looks very very cool, but I don´t wann pay the full price for it.

the limited Multiplayer means that you can´t challenge people in real time, which means you set a time or score and your friends can try to beat you.

Having played the demo (which is fantastic)........ and knowing that i can pull off tricks with the BUTTONS, this game is without a doubt a purchase for me.

Good to have SSX back, and thank GOD you have the option to play the game with the same control scheme as SSX's from back in the day.

Thats' what I thought initially, but after a while with the right stick, I quite like it and I think the controls are better that way for the extra things (like wingsuit etc...)

I didn't expect any less, and totally agree with the review

Also, feel free to add me as a friend on PSN to compete on SSX, I need some people to beat! (or get thrashed by to motivate myself), though I won't actually be posting any times until the 9th March, as I don't have PSN until then

The biggest problem that i have with extreme sports games that use analog controls is, i'm left handed, so over the years it's been a benefit to me with games like Street Fighter, but having to use the right analog stick is far from smoothe for a lefty like myself.

That's why when the likes of Skate came along, i got frustrated, because suddenly one of my fave genres was flooded with all those types of games having analog controls for tricks (shaun white and so on)

Thats why i'm also looking forward to Tony Hawk's HD in the summer (the last extreme sports game that i truly enjoyed was Project 8) SSX coming out is momentous for me, because it's been 4 years since i played a new extreme sports game with buttons for tricks as opposed to analog.

Having both control types was a great move, and i hope that all future extreme sports games implement this.

I don't have a PS3 at this stage, but when i eventually get round to getting one.......... and if you still have the game, i'd be happy to give you a game man.

Fair enough, and I will be playing this game for a long long time, I have already spent around 5 hours just on the 2 demo tracks

Yesterday I played about 3 hours just the demo, I din´t even know how much I missed games like this. I need it, this is an amzing game maybe the best snow/skateboard game ever. And because I have no money to buy it I decided to sell my kidney or a quarter of my liver.
