SSX Tricky was, without doubt, the Daddy of all snowboarding games - it kicked snow in the faces of it's more puny competitors and imitators. There were detractors who moaned that it wasn't realistic but, frankly, who cares? It was FUN and sometimes FUN is more important than realism...
SSX's latest re-incarnation - SSX 3 - takes everything that was truly wonderful about it's predecessor and improves it. Massively.
3 is much more free-roaming than Tricky and, in my opinion, better for it. You start on Peak 1 (of 3) and gain access to more slopes and events as you progress through the game. Many of the characters from Tricky make a welcome appearance in 3 but there are some new characters too. Characters are, again, customisable in terms of ability and appearance.
Graphically, I've seen NOTHING else on PS2 that even comes close. This game is simply beautiful and blows you away at times with the depth of scenery that you can see - the view from the top slopes is amazing.
The soundtrack, in common with Tricky, is equally excellent - full of top tunes and totally customisable.
I love it. I loved Tricky and I'm sold on the evolutionary concept of 3 - it's a natural progression and it makes the game a different type of challenge to Tricky. I'd heartily recommend it to any Tricky veterans and SSX newbies alike. Plug it in, crank it up, suspend your sense of belief and enjoy this for what it is - pure, massive, unadulterated FUN!

I loved it from the minute I won my first race. Amazingly detailed courses with excellent graphics and more than one path to follow. Music matches perfectly and controls are smooth. I would recommend this game to anyone.

Imagine, standing on the top of a mountain - in a blizzard.
You've been given 30 minutes to reach the bottom....
26 minutes later, eyes bleeding, you're home in time....
You've been given 30 minutes to reach the bottom....
26 minutes later, eyes bleeding, you're home in time....
You reflect on your run...the avalanches, falling trees, a plane crash, sunlight, darkness, caves, city, shotcuts, wrong turns....
Then you realise...That was the best 30 quid you've ever spent.
Treat yourself.
