Just an update on SSX Blur- Apparently this is one of those "let it sit for a day" kind of things, because I played for a couple of hours last night and the entire control system worked perfectly. I had a blast and had no issues with tricks or landing. Also, I tried the slalom tracks and they work great with the new control scheme (the weaving back and forth feels nice moving the controller rather than pushing a stick). So if you're a fan of the SSX series, definitely worth getting if you're willing to put in a little effort on the front end.
