I personally think it's worth buying. If you're looking for something realistic, I would pass. If you're looking for your typical SSX game, but with updated physics and graphics, tons of ridiculous tricks, a pretty decent variety of courses, and a bunch of other fun stuff like wingsuits, then you'll like it a lot. The online system is a lot of fun too. There can be like 30 ghost players racing/tricking down on the same course as you, and you're constantly competing to one-up them to earn cash. You can also see all your friends' times/scores on every course they've done, and warp straight to that course to try and beat them. The only thing I really miss from previous SSX games is having an open mountain to cruise down. In this one, you have to select a course before you drop and stay on that course. Overall, worth the purchase for me, because I've owned and played the shit out of every SSX game and it's one of my favorite series, but I would just recommend you play the demo. If you like the demo, you'll like what the full game has to offer because it's the same plus a lot more.
