Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Grab your board and take on the slopes of SSX as you've never seen them before. Two brand-new runs, six never-before-seen riders, and tons of original tricks, shortcuts, and jumps make SSX Tricky the ultimate snowboarding experience. With voices supplied by celebrities such as Oliver Platt and Macy Gray, the SSX Tricky riders come to life on the snow-covered icy mountain courses.

Establish friendships, create rivalries, and show off your high-flying skills in three different types of races. And when you're ready to catch real air, reach into your bag and bust out one of the crazy new über-tricks that take airborne flight to the next level, with flips, twirls, and more. New Garibaldi and Alaska courses let you get more vertical and catch more air, while all the original courses have some new surprises. Six new riders join most of the original SSX crew to provide a wide range of abilities and competition.

5.0 out of 5 stars SSX redefines Snowboarding Videogames, December 11, 2001

This is by far the best Snowboarding game available in the market. This game is not a simulation, but is a little more realistic than Amped. It is certainly an arcade racer with an arcade feel on it, you will be amazed how much strategy you will need to perform the "Uber" trick. Unlike the orginal SSX, which was just a racer, SSX tricky is a major overhaul of SSX. In tricky performing tricks will give you access to the "UBER" trick and an infinite turbo gauge, unlike in the original where you perform tricks just because you could.

Is this just a port from the PS2 version? The answer is no, the Xbox version certainly has lesser load times and plays much faster than its counterpart. Though it's essentially identical to the PS2 version, the Xbox incarnation does come with a handful of graphical frills that you will no doubt appreciate. The graphics are much more clear, you can actually look in the snow and notice the snow flakes. Frame rate is crisp and characters are also self-shadowed. There is also some DVD extras with the package where you can see Lucy Lui!!

All in all the best SSX Tricky verion is XboX. But if you have it in another system, same gameplay, so stick with your other versions. But if you have Ps2 and XboX like me, go for the XboX version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just plain awesome!, December 15, 2001

SSX Tricky has got to be the MOST FUN snowboarding game ever. I bought AMPED and it was okay, but a bit slow for my tastes. I am not a snowboarder so I didn't really care for how "realistic" AMPED claimed to be.

SSX Tricky on the other hand is taking up all of my time. It is fun fun fun. Why? Because it is a game that doesn't pretend to be anything else. You race against other snowboarders, knock them down, make friends, pull off insanely impossible tricks that are just the coolest things to see. I have spent about 6 hours playing this so far and haven't even finished one character all the way through! I'll be playing this game for a LONG LONG time.!

5.0 out of 5 stars More than I expected..., January 1, 2002

Michelle (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: SSX Tricky (Xbox) (Video Game)

I really liked the description of the game so I bought it.

Frist, lets start with the bad things:
1. When you play two player mode, the screen divides vertically. Making it hard to see where you are going.
(Wow! Only one bad thing!)

Now, Lets start with the good things:
1. The characters kick butt!
2. The tracks are wild, crazy, and challenging and has many different regions. And looks really realistic.
3. The amazing, impossible, tricks add excitement to the game.
4. You have to complete races and trick levels to "unlock" more powerful boards and gain access to different outfits. (That makes it fun!)
5. The ability to "hit" other opponents. *grin*
6. Uber Tricks

The list can go on amd on... If you want a fun, arcade type of racing game, This is definatly the game for you. I love it and I can't stop playing it!
