What Parents Need to Know
This review of SSX Blur was written by Marc Saltzman
Parents need to know that kids will be standing up and waving their arms around -- read: exercise! -- while playing this fun snowboarding/skiing game. This game for the Nintendo Wii is a blast for players 6 years of age and older.

- Families can talk about how this game is the first in the SSX series that uses your body to control your movement, speed, and tricks -- so it's a lot closer to the real deal than its predecessors. Do you like playing video games this way? Which boarder/skier is your favorite? Is it more fun to try tricks or to be fast?

What’s the Story?
SSX BLUR for the Nintendo Wii is the latest in the best-selling franchise, and the first that changes how the game is played, thanks to the Wii's wireless and motion-sensing remotes to control the action. One of your hands guides your daredevil down the mountain with the Nunchuck controller while the other hand on the Wii remote lets you create a seemingly unlimited number of aerial maneuvers by twisting and turning it in multiple directions. Think of it as painting shapes on a 3-D canvas and the effects are seen immediately onscreen, be it flips, spins, fancy hand-plants, and other tricks to add to your rising "groove" meter. Max out your meter for faster speeds and bigger air.

Is It Any Good?
While the colorful graphics aren't revolutionary, controlling the boarders or skiers feels intuitive and rewarding, plus the rocking soundtrack brings a lot to the party. In fact, the music is dynamic -- the tunes intensify the better you perform. Wii Blur features a dozen tracks spread out over three unique peaks. If you don't want to partake in the various tournaments and other challenges, simply carve yourself a path from top to bottom to practice your moves.
SSX characters from past games are back again -- including Mac, Psymon, and Kaori -- along with two new faces. Add unlockable content and multiple game modes, including a deep career mode and a multiplayer option (on the same TV), and you've got yourself another downhill classic.

Great Wii game
This was the third game I got for the Wii, and I must say that the game is just a blast. You snowboard or ski down the mountain and can unlock higher parts of the mountain as you progress on your ride to fame. You also can collect uber-collectibles which help with unlocking ubertricks and the Yeti outfit. Plus, each course is amazingly beutiful in environmet. A big plus is, there is nothing offensive. Everyone says that Mario is the most kid friendly game on the Wii. It is neither in any case as it is more violent than this game (although this game is a little more sexually explicit but it isn't something like Wave Race, just a little skin from some woment that is hard to make out and a couple of flirtatious comments), plus Ratatouille is easier. In all, I would advise this game. Although not the best game for the Wii, and definitely a challenge, this game will provide plenty of hours of fun as you go for unlocking characters, challenges, tricks, and gear while trying to reach the third height on the mountain (which is gorgeous when you reach it).

snowboarding with crazy non real tricks (count me in)
this game is really really fun you can ride snowboards and do all kinds of crazy tricks there are no bad things in it other than being able to push players off there board/skis so this is a very fun game

Pretty fun...
This game is fun but I found doing grabs with the Wii Remote a little difficult, especially for younger people. I wish there were more courses instead of just three peaks. SSX 3 for last-gen consoles was better.
