Intense snowboarding excitement comes to the Xbox in this remix of the fan-favorite SSX. Whether you're interested in high-flying tricks or high-velocity racing, you'll find plenty of what you're looking for in SSX TRICKY. Take your pick from a field of more than three-dozen boarders and vie for the highest rating in each unique event. Training mode allows you to get your chops down before entering the competition, World Circuit mode is a full-fledged competition that spans several events, and Show Off mode challenges you to pull off as many dangerous stunts as you can within an allotted time period. This installment of the game features all-new tracks, more character interactions, and a cool, new soundtrack. Of course, the game is packed with shortcuts and secrets to uncover, plenty of bonuses, and loads of other thrills. The graphics are built on the same model as the original game, but a few new flourishes add to the visual landscape of this nerve-wracking ride.
EA's SSX 3 on the Xbox is pretty close to perfection. Stemming from the popular EA Sports snowboarding series, it's hard to convey in words just how much this game offers. Ranging from some of the largest environments I can remember to tight races, open-ended free-runs, and huge trick competitions, SSX 3 offers a mind-bogglingly massive challenge spanning three huge peaks on a single whopping mountain construct. With the new limitless combo system, freedom to do anything you want, and drop-dead gorgeous visuals, SSX 3 has it all and then some! Xbox owners get a slight graphical edge over their PS2 and GameCube counterparts, but gameplay is king at the end of the day. Read More »
Sometimes you don't want realism from a video game. You don't even want the semi-tricked out physics of an admirable game like Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding, sometimes you just want something wild, colorful, and absolutely endlessly fun. That's what SSX is. EA's cartooney snowboarder was a surprise hit last year when the Playstation 2 debuted, so it's not really surprising that they'd follow up with what looks like SSX 1.5 rather than a full sequel, it's only been a year after all. But anyone who's tried SSX Tricky knows that isn't the case, as Tricky packs in a lot of new stuff, tweaks the play a bit, and adds a lot of extras. And you know what? It's just a bit better on the Xbox too. Read More »
