Dammit! I KNEW something wasn't right. No wonder my "pre-winds" didn't seems to be doing much. Changing control config now...

Worse than that is that the unlockable guys don't have any voice at all. So, when I'm racing against Eddie or Marisol or something, we don't yell back and forth at each other, so I sometimes lose track of when I'm passing or getting passed. I haven't unlocked Stretch yet, but I hope he at least gets called by the announcer.

Hell, it took me at least 3 minutes or so to figure out where to change the control settings! (For those who don't know, you have to do it from the main menu, as there's no way to do it while actually playing.)

How do I do rail ubers and all of the new grindy type moves?

the game's beautiful. I got it at EB hoping for nothing grandiose, (you know low expectations always do a great game better) and it's beyond what i thought it would be. One of the cleanest menu setup's i've seen in a long time. The tree's that pass you by while the disc loads is very appealing.

Overall a great game, but i'm curious to know which character everyone's started with.

Kaori of course! It was either her or Mac, since those were the two characters I used in SSX1 the most. Didn't play Tricky all that much so I'm sticking with the old favorites.

Griff! Hes so awesome. All he cares about is candy and chicks (When he crashes hes like "I hope Elise/Zoe/Elegra/Kaori didn't see that!")!

I used to use Kaori, but now since stats don't matter (everyone starts even) I use Elise.

Well, I held off buying until Sunday, when Toys'r'us does their buy 2 Xbox games get one free thing...

But...Elise will be my first character. She has been the past games as well...and I was even able to outscore my friends in trick runs with her, despiter her lower "trick" ability (her speed allows her to get some multiplyers the trick characters can't). I guess I just like a well-formed woman :nod:

Very surprised to see Kaori users [Jap fetish?]. She's been my favorite character since SSX... Even though they all start even, I got a better feel with her then the others. Moby looks cool, but he seems clunky.

Here here buddy! :D

Elise, 'cause she's Canadian.;)

Just kidding. Having never played an SSX title before, and only the PS2 demos that I have, I've only played as Elise. If I ever get the money to buy SSX3, I'll play as Elise first.

I love the game, but EA Big really dropped the ball by just making the left out characters simply "skins".

No incentive to buy them, no personality or voice anymore, and it sucks because I was really looking forward to having Marisol back.

Biggest dissapointment so far, I had expected with all the work put into this, they would make the returning characters actual CHARACTERS, and not just lame pallette swaps. It's like the ultimate tease, seeing Marisol there but remembering it's not even close to being the real one.

Thank god I kept Tricky, I'd really miss some of those characters.
