I actually had a lot of fun playing this game, in between moments of peak frustration as I failed challenges over and over again. These moments however drove me on to master the controls of the game to a certain degree, but I wasn't willing to commit to anything beyond the main campaign as I knew the difficulty curve to go any further would require more than I was capable of. SSX is a very exciting game, and you're always kept on the edge of your seat as the slopes are very thrilling. I'm not an SSX series purist so can't make any comparisons, but the experience was fun without being anything extraordinary.
