Yeah, but I also don't want them to hold your hand along the way. This game tends to do that, and this video shows that. That's not to say there isn't any skill involved, but the risk factor is incredibly low compared to the previous SSX games.

I guess if all you want to do is make it down the mountain, then ya, but the course they were doing that on didn't appear to be difficult at all (eg: no pitfalls, no cliffs, etc). As long as there is a challenge to get Gold or whatever the max reward is then I'll be happy. From what I can tell it appears to be "accessible," but it will still take skill to master.

Understood.

By the way, I only played the demo once, but did anyone else happen to notice there was incredibly poor input delay when it came to using the sticks? When you would turn or jump, it was pretty laggy.

I am getting the PS3 version sometime today. I am not that good at it but I enjoy it and gives me a break from all the shooters I play.

I'm getting it for PS3, but I don't have a long enough lunch break to get it during my work time so I'll be getting it later tonight after work.
