darksnowman Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 I bought On Tour last week and I just had a go on it there for a wee while. I dont know what to make of it at all... So it seems to have a pretty good progression system - I managed to get to being an amateur (I think, Im in the rankings now anyway) and thats a pretty good step on from SSX 3 - which I loved. But with this one... I dunno, it hasnt captured me like I expected. The intro sequence wasnt very good I thought, it even seemed quite messy. And the menus and on screen stuff is quite hard to look at aswell. I think the style has been over done. Then from the intro, the create your boarder baffled me... but Ill stick with my created one cos they all looked a bit stupid anyway... Ive some long haired galoot who I gave a beard shadow. He needs new clothes so hopefully the shop will be as cool as SSX3. But its mainly the style I think thats keeping me from becoming immersed. I dont remember it being quite so MTV and sk8r in the last one. It seemed to have a nice blend. I did go into Quick Play to see if Mario, Luigi and the Princess were there or if I had to unlock them. They were there and I gave each of them a go The first time I saw Mario he looked really outta place and a bit stupid, but I got used to him being there and it was quite fun! Then I tried the Princess and that was great fun! If I ever get to play the game in two player Ill be using her, she was class on the ski's and I think Id like play through the main game as her! Then I tried out Luigi and that two was pretty good fun - I think if I could convince my sister to play it we could have a decent blast... but the controls would put her off... its a little complicated for the newbies... And speaking of controls, I keep pressing "z" while in mid air expecting to do a grab but instead it resets me onto the piste. All in all though, I give them credit for revamping the game somwhat to freshen it up because Id be having a wee rant if it was SSX 3 all over again. I hope I get into it and I hope that Radio Big makes a return later in the game...? Maybe when Im good enough Ill be able to tune into it, heres hoping.
Destiny Blade Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 i was debating whether to buy ssx on tour. i quite enjoyed ssx3 but never bought it and gamestation have a great deal going on £19.99 when bought with anything else in store so is it worth buying?
darksnowman Posted December 22, 2005 Author Posted December 22, 2005 Destiny Blade, Id say get it because its probably the best SSX game there is out there, and barring the original Ten Eighty its almost probably the best snowboarding game out there. I too got it for a mere £20 so dont pass it up! And come back to us with your views and initial opinions on it when you pick it up because chances are you'll love it and you'll probably shoot all the arguments I presented down - which is maybe the kinda thing I needa here to get me into this game...?
Destiny Blade Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 thankies i will come back when ive bought it and probably will do in january sometime probably with the movies or something like that
