Doesn'tlive up to the SSX name,
A Kid's Review
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: SSX On Tour (Video Game)
To me, SSX is about busting all the sick tricks, then trying to beat the trick score. That is what On Tour is not. Major and Minor flaws are present everywhere:
1. No returning to characters to play as! Can'tplay as Mac, can't play as Griff, can't play as Kaori.... 2. Boost bar fill up time. For example, in the SSX 3 Peak 3 Big Air track, a singular jump of any one of the 3 jumps would nab you a full boost bar. On On Tour, it usually takes 1 or 2 rounds (ROUNDS) for the boost bar to fill up, so I can't perform those mind-blowing monster tricks frequently. 3. Weather conditions. I know this is very minor, but I am a serious hardcore fan of SSX. In SSX 3, you can blow through the calm, windy forests of Peak 1 or the super-modern, neck-breaking, freezing cold of Peak 3. 4. Speed. Where is the speedometer? The motion blur maks the game feel weird. It is creating an illusion that you are going fast. Unfortunately, in the game, you don't feel fast. It doesn't even sound fast. One of the main ideas of SSX is to reach breakneck speeds while avoiding all the obstacles. 5. Camera angle. In SSX 3, when you perform Uber tricks, the camera stays behind you. In On Tour, when you perform monster tricks, the camera suddenly, moves to your left/right side, causing some problems while landing. It is quite difficult to see the ground.... 6. Track design. Why all the different disciplines (racing, big air, half-pipe, slopestyle) are cramped into one track is beyond me. This causes some serious problem.s For example, in slopestyle, you see a half-pipe. You spend some time on the half-pipe only to find that you have 4min remaining. In the end, you do not manage to finish the comp. Scary. I mean, in SSX 3, the race tracks were clearly race tracks, with some jumps thrown in your way to test your jump distance judgement. The slopestyle tracks certainly did not have half-pipes, sharp corners or long sections of the track where there aren't any rails or jumps. The track design last time was cool. I remember jumping over 20m over nothing in a Peak 3 race track. I remember doing loops in the indoor pipe sections of the Peak 1 and 2 race tracks. I remember the last few jumps of the alternative route of the Peak 2 slopestyle track. I remember outrunning an avalanche in the backcountry of peak 1. Those were really sick. It is not like those puny but long jumps in all the SSX tracks these days. 7. Free-roaming: What happened to it? You could go around the mountain to different shops last time. That was the favourtie part of the last SSX. You could tear up the backcountry, the race tracks, slopestyle tracks, whichever. 8. Summit/ Peaks: There is only one mountain here. When I am near the summit of the mountain of On Tour. At the summit of Peak 1 in SSX 3, I felt as though I was falling down a huge pit. It is really intense, snowboarding from the top of the mountain all the way to the bottom, especially the top, which will make you feel scared if you are not careful. I swear, I felt as though I was standing at the edge of heaven when I stood at the peaks of the mountains in SSX 3. Different mountains also means different weather conditions, which I really want.... Pros: It is part of the SSX series. Really,On Tour is not that bad. SSX 3 is better.

A Kid's Review
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: SSX On Tour (Video Game)
Gameplay: The Tour concept is good. Real good. Should be included in the next game.
You choose from the menu a premade character and customise him. Um, tha means you cant tweak his face, which is bad, considering how you are supposed to create your own charcter. No classic characters in the Campaign mode! That is bad, but it will do. However, it takes away some of the magic of the game. I say include the create-a-character part in the next installment, along with classic characters.... Skis. Now, you can turn faster with skis, b ut the trick points arent that big, so.....you choose. There are differernt board types, so you jave to slect the best type, which is called "Merqury City". Why don't they seperate the boards into different classes, like class d, class c, class b, class a , etc.......???? That way, you don't have to choose the best board (because the boards from each class have the same stats but different design). Plus, you compete against other people with boards of the same stats and same class, which makes the comps fair..... Need For Speed fans, the cops are here, but don't get too excited yet.....if you have played Most Wanted, you would find that the cops here are easy to lose and immobilize.Just ram em and they get knocked off their skies. (Off-topic, but maybe NFS fans may find the cops here easier to lose. After all, some of the community(including me) did the heat 6 pursuit on one try only.....) Burnout fans, you get to Takedown other people, but don't get too happy too....You can knock off innocent skiers/snowboarders in freeride and shred, but not in comps. You have to punch them to knock em down. There is a blur when you boost too, which makes it more burnout-like. Freeride is not really freeride. Gone are the ski lifts and shops in freeride. In order tp reach another area quickly, you have to quite the freeride and slect the area you wish to go to thru the menu. There are no shops on the mountain too. Acess them from the menu. Customisation is more limited. 3 peaks to 1 mountain. One huge mountain. There is no good or bad in this, but I prefer having 3 peaks. That way, we get different weather conditions foor each peak... Graphics: same as SSX3. They tweaked the monster trick camera in such a way that it is hard to judge where te ground is. I don't understand how the crash particles for Burnout can be so detailed but not the snow particles for SSX... Sound: Beautiful soundtrack! I love the different playlists. My only complaint is that my playlist, edges of metal, has no classic metal stuff. They are all nu metal, withthe exception of Motorhead's Overkill and Iron Maiden :) No DJ! Damn....

This review is from: SSX On Tour (Video Game)
Unfortunately, the description did not state that this game was uncompatible with XBox 360 and that there is no download from Microsoft to make it so. Not being familiar with this game I did not know this fact and thus, I can't play it. It makes a great dust collector.
