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.


Thanks.  Pretty much the same thing I hear from all the reviews then.  I guess I'll just try to take off my nostalgia goggles and enjoy the game for what it is.

Tricky was one of my favorite games ever.  If the reboot that been that, if it ended up with all the personality and style of Tricky, I would have bought it day one.  The vibe I got was that it was online focused, though, which is EA for you, so I never even bought it when it was marked down.
