    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.

    Wonderfull

    I've been waiting more than 5 years for SSX, and it's great! 9 mountains, great graphics, and brilliant over the top style! It's the best game in its league, and if you're looking for full, extreme fun then SSX has got it all! The soundtrack is amazing; the game will remix the song on what you're doing on the run! Beating friends scores will be addictive! I love this game!

    fun & refreshing

    Fun & Refreshing that's what comes into my mind when I play this game. For this price (I mean UK prices) you don't have too hesitate too much longer if you want to play a fun snowboard game. Most of the tracks are pleasant, but you can switch to your own playlist which is really nice feature.

    it's ok....but...it's no fun

    Okay, so perhaps I should have read more about it before getting all excited and buying it straight off - but I was expecting SSX3+ and actually got a pretty boring and difficult snowboarding "job". Without the possibility of "two people in the same room multiplayer" (splitscreen), a less than pallatable soundtrack, and a sign-on process that's extremely tedious, I think this game is going to be relegated pretty quickly to the "exchange" pile. I don't understand, I LOVED SSX3 on the PS2 and was really hoping that this would provide a replacement for the XBOX, but I've been really disappointed. As I say in the title - it's probably technically a very good game, but it's no fun....:-(

    Realistic, but still SSX

    Despite using realistic places rather than the cities and other crazy locations of the previous game, it's not long (or hard) to start pulling off some utterly daft tricks. There are 3 types of descent, race and trick are obvious, the last 'deadly descent' however pits you against an environmental hazard (trees, darkness, freezing temperatures etc) on the highest peak in the range, and you just have to get down in one piece! There's also 3 types of mode, single player 'story', simple introduction, a few races/tricks on each range then a descent, and a different boarder for each range. Handily it does allow you to skip some races if you've tried and failed a few times, saves frustration. Explore mode is simply do what you want, where you want, with whichever boarder you want. Finally the online mode, doesn't do simultaneous races (though you can see other riders), its more a of a ranked leaderboard for credits. Some you have to pay to race, others have restrictions (the deadly descents without the survival gear are my fave). The AutoLog from NFS makes it easy to challenge friends and builds up a competitive drive, each time you see that your ranking as dropped a level. Negatives for me are the silly 5 item shop system, if you don't want one of the 5 you have to buy one so it's replaced... you can end up buying 4/5 items just to get the one you're after... wastes credits for no really reason. The shop UI is also cumbersome and slow too. It was also very dark in some places, and trying to win a race when you're in a pitch black tunnel is frustrating rather than 'fun'. Overall this is an excellent game that's still most definitely SSX.
