Snowboarding on sherbet? Some of the tracks you’ll find in SSX: Snowboard Supercross have broken from the traditional cool-blue snow color in favor of tropical snow cones. But this game sports more than just some crazy colors–it also contains a funky soundtrack that enhances the game as you wind around and through icebergs and freeway systems. Your success moves you up the rankings until you can call yourself the best on the mountain. This version of SSX features new graphical effects and controller feedback designed to capture the speed of your races and the massive air of your tricks.

This game is amazing. The graphics are great, it is easy to play and so far I am not bored which for me is a big deal. The only problem I have with the game is that on my big screen TV (61") the response is so quick after playing for an hour or so I get a huge headache from feeling like I am imersed in the game.

SSX is truly a superb game. I had read all the reviews on it, but really had no interest in buying it–I’m not into skate boarding or snowboarding, or extreme sports in general. I’m a 26 yr old female with a master’s degree, and my preference in video games tends to be puzzle games and racing simulators. When I received this game as a birthday gift, I really wasn’t too excited about it. However, after trying it, I’ve ended up spending quite a bit of time on it and have greatly enjoyed playing it! For someone who typically doesn’t play this type of game (like myself), it does take a while to master the tricks, but it’s not overly difficult. The graphics are absolutely stunning, and the variety of playing options (racing, show-off mode, free snowboarding mode [so you can practice things with no time limits]) really adds to the overall replay value of the game. Even if sports games aren’t typically to your liking, give this one a chance–you might be pleasantly surprised!

Let’s get this out of the way right out of the gate – I don’t snowboard and have very little to absolutely no interest in it. I bought SSX when the PS2 came out completely on a fluke; I’d heard that it was supposed to be pretty good.SSX is not pretty good. It is VERY good. In fact, it’s probably the best game of 2000, and that’s saying a lot for a game that heads up EA’s Big Sports division.SSX carries with it good graphics, great sounds, and a kicking soundtrack. But what really takes the cake is the gameplay. This game is so intuitive that you’ll be whipping out Meatballs like no one’s business. And, more oddly, you’ll actually know what a "Meatball" is in snowboarding terms… maybe.With a cast of both female and male characters from all over and a good heaping helping of varying tracks, SSX is populated with enough diversity to keep the gamer coming back over and over. It’s primarily based on racing (though there’s an alpine mountain track appropriately named "Untracked" that cane be opened) and it’s just plain good. There is a heavy trick engine, in fact there’s an entire section where all you do is try to score huge amounts of points to score a medal.Any way you look at it, SSX is a darn fine game. It shows off the power of the PS2 without relying solely on graphics to make it look good… it plays nice, sounds nice, and works well with others. What more could you want?

Cool Boarders 2 was one of the first games I bought for my PS, and I loved it. When I got a PS2, I got this game for a next-gen snowboarder, and it blew me away! The graphics on this are mind-blowing, and the tracks are so complex that it never gets old. You can keep racing a track several times, then suddenly notice this little break in some trees that you take and shave a minute off your time and puts you in first place! Another thing about this is the fact that your opponents will actually fall from time to time when trying difficult stunts, so you always stand a chance if you don’t keep falling down. That makes the game a challenge, but fun too. I have to say this is a game that has such replayability that you’ll be reaching for it whenever you have the time to play. I especially love the free ride option, where you can just go down the course trying to find shortcuts and other secrets. Grab it and go!

SSX reminds me of Goldeneye for the N64. Yeah, the 2 games are totally different, but the fun is not. SSX, like Goldeneye, is the type of game you can play forever. People will be playing this game right until the Playstation 3 comes out. It’s easy to learn, but has amazing depth to it. It’s fun and addictive. The graphics are amazing and the music is phat. From now on, if you hear about another snowboard game you’ll wonder, "Is it as good as SSX?"This is a racing game, with a few (hundred) tricks thrown in for good measure. Wanna concentrate on speed? You can win. Wanna pull of tricks? You can still win. Both styles are wonderfully matched. The tracks are amazing, with huge curved turns and shortcuts that twist and dive in all directions. There are so many things to do on these tracks, you’ll be showing your friends something new every weekend for months. You don’t just race down mountains, but through city streets and parks, underneath highways, inside sewers, over a desert moutain with artifical snow, through half-pipes and giant loops, inside sewers and over the tops of buses, down a frozen river, through a huge, bizarre Japanese amusement park with a giant fan that pushes you back to the top of the run. You even race down a glacier which has been towed to Hawaii – there are cruise ships watching from the side lines, and the snow melts so fast the water rushes around your feet as you shoot through a run-off ditch. There are all sorts of rails to.

The game is a great game with good graphics and good smooth handleing, but the courses seem to be a little wild and and have pretty much nothing to do with snowboarding. That could be a good thing or a bad thing, it depends on what the gamer wants out of the game. Some freinds of mine thought it was stupid because of all the hi-tech oppsticals on the course which made it more of a…non-hard core snowboarding game. Some people, like me liked the extra stuff they put in there, like the special move meter that when full lets you go super fast. So if your sick of the basic 180 Snowboarding game where all you do is just snowboard and do tricks get this game to pump thing up a little.

One of the true tests of video game greatness is whether the game provides an adequate learning curve-that is, whether the game is fun to play during the time period that you [are not good] at it, and provides increasing challenge as your skill increases. SSX succeeds there, and just about anywhere else you’d care to look, too.The control’s not simple. It’s pretty much the manual transmission of control schemes. But, like a manual transmission, it quickly becomes intuitive, and provides a good deal of control once mastered. Course design helps the learning curve along nicely–although you’ll find yourself landing on your face pretty frequently as you learn the nuances of each course.Graphically, the game does an excellent job of conveying both speed and elevation. Elaborate lighting effects and a peppy game engine both add to the realism. The background music, voice work, and sound effects are as good as you will find anywhere, with the music being exceptionally [good].In fact, it is difficult to find a genuine flaw anywhere in the game. Others have commented on drops in the frame rate during gameplay, but I have yet to notice anything significant. All in all, a first-class title, and a must-buy for anyone fortunate enough to get their paws on a PS2 before the sequel inevitably comes out.

This game is obviously quite fun, as the ratings prove. It’s a little difficult at first, as you get used to the control scheme, but after a few hours, it becomes second nature. It’s not a snowboarding simulation, but rather an unrealistic and fun arcade game. You can ski for speed or ski for points by doing tricks. It’s a good game for kids because there’s no killing or swearing or dark themes (at worst some shoving and sarcasm). It’s just skiers having a good time jumping really high and spinning on interesting, imaginative, and pretty (though highly unrealistic) ski courses.I estimate that the single-player aspect of the game would take an average player about 10 to 20 hours to complete, and much longer if you want to cover every possible angle. With two player competition, the fun can last much longer.Another good feature of this game is that it can be picked up for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, and games can be saved nearly at will (though not during races). Sometimes there is a little frustration when held back by tough courses.

SSX is a great game. The controls are perfect, the course designs are challenging, the graphics are astounding and most importantly, the game is fun. The formula of fast racing, wild tricks, and creative tracks makes for a game that is both challenging and a blast to play.SSX is a very deep game. The game has 8 borders: each has 4 costumes and 11 boards. There are eight different courses plus a tutorial course. This may seem like too few tracks, but every course is so well done that it doesn’t matter. Dozens of shortcuts and secret areas in each course willl have expert SSXers playing through each many times. The courses are also long; some take up to 6 minutes.The graphics of SSX are truly beautiful. Character models are smooth, and the courses are widely detailed. Each course has a very different look to it. The sky, the snow, and the backrounds of each course are unique. From a real mountain side to a snowed-in urban wonderland to an iceberg, the courses are refreshingly creative. So creative are these courses that you can spot trees that look like they’re straight out of a Dr. Suess book. SSX is a real treat for eyes bored of PSone graphics.The controls of the game are very well-tuned. Pressing up will accelerate, down will brake; both do flip tricks. Left and right performs turns and spins. Holding X will get ready for a jump, releasing will perfor the jump. Pressing a directional button while holding x will prewind (increasing the speed of flips and spi.

As a huge fan of the Cool Boarders series for PS1 (also created by EA), this game was the main selling point in buying a PS2 on Ebay. I am not disappointed at all.The Cool Boarders series for PS1 was a lot of fun, and the tricks and moves you could do were incredibly cool. So if you enjoyed those games, add a hefty dose of reality and an awesome soundtrack and you have SSX.There is a lot of discussion about SSX and ESPN’s snowboarding game (which I will probably also buy at some point) but in general terms, SSX is awesome. The biggest improvement is that you can use the analog (joystick) controls for the boarders and not the arrow pad, which makes the game much easier to play and the tricks/turns much more fun to perform.If you have a PS2 and you don’t have this game, you’re missing out bigtime.
