This game is as good or better than any extreme sports title(including Tony Hawks Underground).New Featuresconquer the mountainSuper Uber Tricks (when meter goes orange)Mini chalenges on freerideUber GrindsYou can link tricks together(combos)by using the right analogue stick.Super pipe (huge long half pipes)The great things about this game is that the learning curve isn't too steep. The whole point of this game is that you go over 70mph down a huge mountain. Ther are 3 impressive peaks with great effects. 1st peak is a part of the mountain that isn't viscious. I'ts not too hard for ssx newbies. You grind a huge Bill Board and after you get of it it collapses, thats cool.2nd peak gets a bit moody and not only are you moving, you get trees falling, even a cable car comes falling down in front of you. On peak 3, at one point towards the end of a race your aircraft(what you drop out onto the mountain) falls infront of you and crashes. You also get brilliant avalanches. As the mountain is falling apart you grind the remaining tiny bits that are left.The new feature is conquer the mountain mode where you don't get so many menu screens. As your bombing down the mountain you can get money by pulling off Uber tricks, not just from winning races. When going down mountain you get sighn posts saying either race, freestyle and big air. This beats menu screens from tricky. If you want to get somewhere quicker you push start and go onto transport.A great challeng(not really a challenge unless you have stats up) is a 30 minuite race from the top of the montain. I'ts close to perfection because whist going down the mountain it's super fast, smooth action. Just before a jump you hold A to build up speed and then release A at the top of a ramp. Whilst in mid air you then use the D pad to spin then you hold down B,Y,X,R trigger, R trigger + B, R trigger + X. To go to the extreme you hold down the left trigger + B ect. There is a meter on the right of the screen. That fills up as you pull of tricks. You can use it for a quick burst of speed(by using X). After 1 or 2 decent tricks your bar turns gold. As I said before you have to hold Left trigger + B ect. Your character does a basic Uber trick(buy stretching leg out). Do 4 of these and your bar goes orange. These are more complex super Uber tricks. For example your character spins his or her board stylishly and your character might do sumersaults. Do another 5 Super Uber tricks and your bar turns red(infinity super Uber). This runs out after 2 minuits and goed back to the orange bar(super Uber).Along on your way on the mountain you get a Lodge. This is where you can buy atributes(improve characters abilities). On attributes you improve Acceleration, speed, spin, Touthness, edging, there are 11 squares to fill up on atributes. To fill up first square you need 500$, when you go up each square it doubles each time. Buy new Uber Moves, buy accesories like silly hats, new clothes, buy 2 videos(not real life videos with real life Snow Boarding pros, just intro of ssx3 and a video of ssx3 old intro in works).This game is worth your money.

When I first played SSX Tricky it was after I had played Amped and while I found that the game play was a little more fun the graphics were bland by comparison. So, with that in mind I was looking forward to see if they had managed to get the blend right with SSX 3.Firstly, the graphics are a big improvement over SSX Tricky, and you really get the feel of being in the mountains as you carve up the power. All types of weather and lighting effects really make boarding down the slopes a real pleasure. In fact it’s the type of game you don’t mind sitting and watching a mate play, just so you can get a proper look at the scenery, as you don’t get much chance while doing some insane trick or other.The weather effects range from perfect sunlight to mist, snow and wind, with the latter really causing you problems if you gauge a jump wrong with a cross wind.Gameplay, has taken the good stuff from SSX Tricky and expanded on it. The UBER tricks have two parts to them meaning the tricks you can perform change as you fill your UBER bar, which means you have an enormous trick range even at the start, and that can be expanded as you gain money during the game. The tricks have been enhanced by the fact you now have grabs, hand plants, and the ability to manual between tricks to build up insane long combos (I did a 198 one last night).Most things in the game that you can improve are done with cash that you earn from the events in game or from picking on money pickups on the slopes. The things you can buy range from abilities to improve how fast you can move to how fast you spin through the air, to items you can wear etc. You can also buy extra UBER tricks to use and lots of rather silly novelty items –like a paper bag over your head or a head made of balloons- that may appeal to some people.The main thing that really made this a good game for me is that while you have lots of event types to choose from –race, big air, half-pipe and slope-style- you can also just free ride the mountains for fun from top to bottom, while doing extra little challenges on route if you wish. On peak three it can take you about half an hour to get from top to bottom (took me 26 minutes first time down, but I have little doubt you could cut about least 4 or 5 minutes off that time). The mountains are so free in where you can go that it’s actually quite hard to follow the same path you did the last time down, so expansive is quite an understatement with regards to the mountain layout.Lastly, I would say the that this game has good longevity, and I expect you will be playing it hour after hour for the first few weeks and going back to it for many weeks there after. Great snowboarding game!

Having played the first 2 SSX games on the Playstation 2, I can say that SSX 3 is a great improvement on what has gone before. New features include:- One massive mountain, divided into 3 peaks, which you can explore freely in between events.- Expanded Uber trick system, including rail tricks and monster tricks.- Earn cash through finding secrets and winning events. Spend cash on rider stat's improvements, new gear to wear, music tracks and art.- Greater variety of events, including big air and rival challenges.SSX is a lot different to all the other snowboarding games out there such as Amped. SSX throws away realism and instead focuses on massive tricks, imaginative courses and high speed.

A genuinely great break from the norm with this wacky open world snowboarding game.SSX 3 has combined snowboarding, free roaming and outrageous landscapes to produce a game that immerses you from the word go. Choosing from one of ten fully customisable characters you can explore a lavish mountain environment and partake in special events dotted around the mountain. Events include race, freestyle, big air and quarter pipe.The main feature of this game is the 'Super Uber' meter. This fills up when tricks and stylish aerobatics are performed. Once full it is possible to push certain button combinations to unleash an array of quite clearly impossible tricks. In short,

I grew up playing this game, and was really pleased to find a copy of it to start again. The gameplay is fun and easy, allowing you to make some progress purely through button-bashing, but challenging enough to keep you practising and learning new tricks to let you advance and unlock new levels. My favourite levels are the halfpipes- impossible heights and insane tricks! Solo games enable you to improve your selected player, and give you a wider range of activities. Two-player may be more limited, but it's still got enough levels, both points and race based, to keep you competing for a long time. Of course, one player needs to unlock the levels before they can all be played in two-player,

This was my first experience of xbox ssx after evolving through the ps2 games.Not even 10% of the way thorugh and already a far more immersive experience, the challenge the mountain option has so much that after tricky, its a touch intimidating and i hoped none of the fun had been lost.While that may be true of the menu and charcter selction screens, it isn't true of the game, it is still one of the most immersive games there is and as ever the fluidity of the level design is a joy to partake in!

Best snowboarding game on any console, even the "next gen" ones. I bought this for my xbox 360 and it works fine with backwards compatability. I had this a few years ago on Ps2 and it was easily one of the best games back then. The graphics arent as smooth as xbox 360 games obv but the gameplay is awesome. Well worth a look!

Great game works fine on my 360. Sometimes the trail goes black but you can stil see where your going and is not very common. Would recommend to anyone who wants some great nostalgia gaming. I have SSX 2012 and to be honest prefer SSX 3.
