First off, if you compare this extreme skiing game to SSX (or SSX Tricky), JMMT doesn't come close. But, since this is the only skiing game out there right now for PS2, it's definitely worth a look.

The jump, grind, and trick schemes is almost exactly like SSX, so if you're familiar with that scheme, you'll pick up Mad Trix in no time. Some of the tricks are not so realistic (especially being able to do mistys and rodeos without a jump) and not as fluid as those in SSX.

The courses are based on snowy versions of real-life venues (San Francisco, Las Vegas, Rome, Washington DC...) and I thought they were pretty well designed. Lots of jumps, rails, and boosters to be found.

There is also a ski school & freeride to get you acclimated to the courses. Sound is OK, with the good music balanced by the announcer who sounds like Lurch from the Addams Family. Luckily, you can turn him off.

All in all, even though it's not up to SSX standards, the main reason why I like Jonny Moseley's Mad Trix is that I picked this game up much quicker than SSX, and my scores on JMMT were higher more quickly. I think it's because the racing is a bit slower than on SSX, so I had just a split-second more time to think about (and pull off) my next trick. If you like racing games with trick elements, definitely try this one.

This game is the bomb. IT has spedtackular tricks and awesome 3D graphics. The makers of this game are genius. Every kid in the world should have this game. Ihope 3DO comes out with other awesome games. A lot of the people in my neighborhood have this game inclding me. I think this game blows out any game. THis game is AWESOME!

Finally a game for skiers! This game is extremely fun to play, and you will find yourself loosing hours playing it. The only bad thing about it are the game controls can be awkward since you can only steer your player with the left analog button, and you control the players jumps {rotations, flips, ect.} with the d-pad. Also, some may not like that it's only a one-player game. Lastly, it's a great introduction to the new world of skiing {freeskiing}. Ultimately it is SSX {show-off} on sticks.

The tricks are cool, the controls are a blend of Tony Hawk and SSX.

I wish they had better special effects, but the good gameplay overshadows the problems.

I think the soundtrack is all right, but i turned it off after a while.

Well worth the $ if you are into skiing or trick-based games.

This game is better, and a lot cheaper too. I usually going skiing about every week, but I don't even feel the need to now. This game is so great. The vivid graphics and sound make you are really there. You don't have to feel all cold either. Even people who don't like or know how to ski will soon fall in love with this excellent game.

Finally a game that is for skiing!!!!! It is a blast also!! At first I had to get used to the menu and setup because it is really poorly set up. But once play the game it is awsome. the storyline of it is really cool and realistic. One downside is that there is no multiplayer, but you can always get around that. If you are a skier it is a must own and if you are a snowboarder definitley consider it.

When me & my husband first started dating we would play this game together till our fingers would hurt. A lot of fun.

This game has to be the worst attempt at an extreme skiing game I have ever seen. The controls make it almost impossible to do tricks and ski at the same time. I don't recommend this game to any person who has enough common sense to know there aren't any real ski runs like the ones in this game. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!

Let me tell you a story about this being the worst game ever! The controls are just jacked up. It just doesn't feel right trying to do the big tricks. THPS made the tricks flow together, nothing like this game. Another thing, what were they thinking when they made levels in Las Vegas, and San fransisco. I mean if it was a real skiing game, why not make the levels at places where you can actually ski. Jackson Hole, Copper Mountain, Squaw, Mt, Mammoth, Wolf creek. ...

Any way buy this game. It is the only way to get this kind of action I know of in a PSX2 game. I hope it comes out for the other next gen. systems too.

Play it early in the morning - crank the headphones and have some
real fun for a change.

3DO....gREAT GAME. i LOVE THE TUNES!
