Well this is my first try to the SSX games. I picked it up yesterday and play it for about 2 1/2 hours, and let my tell you that the controls are very good. The carving feels so great, but the learning curve for difficult tricks and the Uber tricks are a little bit high. I got frustrated at the tutorial with the Uber thing. But after an hour or so (at the Pipe, I love the HalfPipe) finally I got it.

I think the controls are pretty challenging for tricks but I think the game is about making diffult tricks so it must be challenging to perform a trick like the Uber ones. There are 12 UBER and you start with 3 ( 2 of them are pretty much easy when you get used to it).

I think is about the timing, coordination and planification. When I am approaching to a ramp I have to place the Wiimote ready at the position where is gona start the Uber symbol, at the ramp pull up the nunchuk and almost inmediatelly press A on the Wiimote and perform the symbol to get it done. If you dont make the jump or start late at the air, there's no time to make a good Uber. Sometimes I got it some times no. But right now I'm very used to the controls and its freaking cool just to race downhill as fast as I can.

Music is great and the guy from the radio station (EA BIG radio station) pumps up the feeling.
