Product Review
Release Date: 02 March 2012
A modern day reinvention of one of the most critically acclaimed arcade franchises of all-time, EA SPORTS™ SSX will allow players to experience the franchise’s signature fun and adrenaline-packed gameplay across iconic mountain ranges all over the world.
Using NASA topographical satellite data, we’ve mapped out a Massive World for players to explore. Throughout nine expansive mountain ranges, SSX packs reality-defying gameplay into every run letting players Race, Trick, and Survive down huge open mountains. In addition, Explore, Global Events and RiderNet - SSX’s recommendation engine - headline an online feature set that will revolutionize social competition for gamers, making it fun and easy to compete with friends on your schedule.
- Conquer the Planet’s Mountains - From Antarctica to Africa and the Himalayas to the Alps, players will drop into nine of the most iconic mountains ranges on planet earth. Using NASA topographical data and our proprietary Mountain Man tool, each of these iconic mountain ranges have then been exaggerated to deliver a gameplay experience that is true to SSX
- Race it - Way beyond your typical racing experience, SSX allows players to race down huge open mountains with multiple elevations and no invisible walls to hem the player in.
- Trick it - Defying the laws of reality, SSX will enable players to pull off tricks that would make even the world’s greatest snowboarders cringe. Forget a 1260° Double Mctwist, in SSX if you still have both feet strapped to the board while you’re spinning 200 feet in the air then you’re still a beginner. With a refined trick system and levels designed to deliver trick opportunities at every turn, filling your Tricky meter is a must
- Survive it - A new gameplay element inspired by big mountain snowboarding, SSX asks players to survive some of the most treacherous descents on earth. Challenged by the power of Mother Nature, players will have to survive avalanches, white outs, freezing cold temperatures and much more, as they make their way down these natural boss battles.
- Advanced Physics - Harnessing the power of the current generation of consoles, SSX introduces a revolutionary physics engine that will allow players to ride and trick off almost anything in the environment, unrestricted by invisible walls and barriers.
- Upgradeable Gear - From boards of varying speeds to wing suits that let you glide for longer distances, upgrade your gear to ride faster, trick higher and survive longer
- Characters Old and New - Favorite characters, as selected by the fans, make their return to SSX along with some new faces that will be joining the franchise. Returning characters include: Elise, Kaori, Mac, Psymon, Moby and Zoe.
- Explore - Explore every drop in the massive world of SSX. Set your fastest time on Race Drops, post your highest score in Trick Drops, and descend as far down the mountain as you can in Survival Drops. In addition to a traditional leaderboard showing friends’ times to beat, ghosts of your friends’ runs are also visible in your world showing you exactly how they tackled a run. Challenge your friends’ ghosts or let your own ghost chalk up wins and losses, while you’re away from your console.
- Global Events - Constant global competition at every drop point the SSX universe against real people in real-time. Events can last for a single run, hours, or even days, with your friends and closest competitors phasing in and out of your immediate surroundings at all times. Post a time and move up or down the leaderboard even after you turn off your console.
- RiderNet - Inspired by the incredible Autolog engine from Need for Speed, RiderNet will be the players guide through the world of SSX. It will allow players to ‘like’ their favorite drops, recommend new drops and friends to the player, point players to ghosts that are beating their scores and much more.

SSX PS3 Arcade
Really arcade, my child really love it. If you are looking for simulation, it is not for you. SSX is known as an arcade game.

SSX
I haven't played a snowboarding game since Cool Boarders on the PS1. I think SSX is okay; it doesn't really keep you interested enough to play it more than an hour. And EA yet again pushing you to log in to their server is so annoying! The graphics aren't brilliant, I know thats not the point. But with all the games out nowadays I don't think it's worth paying full whack for. It is fun I admit but overall I think 3 stars is a fair score.

SSX
WOW. An absolute epic return to form!! I haven't stopped playing this high octane adrenaline rush of a game. I loved ssx tricky, and for some reason people didn't like ssx3 but I loved that too. So for me I have been waiting a long time for a ssx return, and it doesn't disappoint. Fun and challenging world tour, explore is brilliant fun with friends, and global events are a great feature that keeps you playing for hours with big money to be won if you bring your A-game. It's a must buy for any ssx fan and anyone looking for something different. Thanks EA. See you on the slopes.

Looks great sounds great but lack of variety of tricks leaves you bored very soon. But a good game to put on for an hours entertainment with or without mates.

Still as mad as ever
The new ssx consists of three game modes, tricks and races like SSX's of old, and a new mode called 'survive it' in which you battle to get down a 'deadly descent' without dying and falling down a crevasse. This is all done with the help of various items of equipment like wingsuits and 'pulse goggles'. All this adds an extra dimension to an excellent franchise. The gameplay is split between the campaign style 'world tour' that feels a little like a prolonged tutorial and which helps increase the level of all the characters. This mode involves building up through some of the drops so you're ready to ride the deadliest descents in the world, 'explore mode', that is a way of playing online against friends scores at any time convenient to you through the use of ghost runs and finally 'global events', an online, realtime way of playing against anyone in the world who has the game. You may notice that there is no local multiplayer and this in my eyes is the biggest downside to this game, however that said, the online gameplay does a lot to make up for this and has been very well implemented. As always the music in this game is excellent and remixes with respect to actions you do in the game (eg. grinding a rail makes the track stutter slightly) and all this adds to the whole experience. Finally, the new stick control system. At first I was a little cautious of this trick system, however I can tell now that it is a very intuitive control method that is very easy to use. (But there is always the option to change to classic controls if you want). All in all, this game with over 100 drops is an excellent reboot to a great game series, and one well worth picking up.

Still as mad as ever
Many people were worried that the new SSX was going to turn into a sim for this series' reboot, however it doesn't take long to realise that this game is still the over the top game harking back to SSX's of old. The physics engine is great and gives you an excellent feel, and in many ways feels way more extravagant than previous SSX games. I was initially a little anxious about the stick controls however now that I am used to them, they feel very intuitive, and you can also change to classic controls if you don't like using analog sticks. The game has plenty of depth to it, and the new 'survive it' game style is in my opinion a brilliant new dimension for the franchise, bringing with it new equipment like wingsuits and pulse goggles (which can be used on any drops) to help you down the run, however I can understand the story mode being described as a prolonged tutorial, (you are likely to spend time prodominately in explore mode or global events). The other issue people were having is that there is no split screen multiplayer. This is so far the biggest issue I see with the game, however the alternative that EA have created is if anything, just as good to use as a split screen would be. I can also see ways that you could play the game locally with others without the need for splitscreen. All in all this game is an excellent next-gen addition to a much loved series, and a game that will no doubt become a classic in years to come.
