SSX for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

It's an entertaining game to rent. I am not sure if this is purchase material, but I had fun playing it.

Okay, maybe not THAT good.

But this game is pretty darn good.

It's a lot of fun, decent controls and graphics and all.
But, it's not quite what I was expecting or all that some of the critic reviews hyped it to be.

I was really expecting this to be like Burnout, but on a snowboard. But it's not quite like that, and I think I was expecting more interactive environments like Motorstorm Apocalypse or Stuntman, or something, but that's not the case and a HUGE oversight IMO.
I also feel like the controls take quite a bit too get used to, which also surprised me. The left analog stick is really sensitive and I often hold down the X button (probably a habit from Tony Hawk) which is a good way to slow down, but makes turning impossible. Takes some time to break that habit/reflex.
The music may be the best soundtrack in video game history, and totally fits in with the games visuals and gameplay. A+ for sure.
Overall the game is quite fun, which is the whole point, although it is a bit more difficult/unforgiving/time consuming then I would have thought, but it's almost addictive enough to bring you back again and again, at least for a little bit, if for nothing else other than the soundtrack.

I will give it bonus points for bringing back and resurging a great great series after a long hiatus rather successfully.

Seriously, if you've got nothing else more important in your system and are just looking for a great chill out game to pass some time with, this is definitely it. Just don't get too bummed out when you don't score enough trick points/don't come in first/die and have to restart.

Not a bad way to spend a few days.

The game is good just don't expect to lobby up with other people . You'll be racing their ghosts .

As a fan of SSX Tricky and SSX3, I was expecting quite allot from this game...and i got what I wanted! =D

The tricks are insane, exceeding beyond my expectations with helicopter grabs and grinds making me awe in wonder of myself the first time i nailed one!

The real-life mountains they featured in this game, (Everest, Himalayas,) really attracted my attention as well, and the nine (current) deadly decent switch up how the game is played and keeps things fresh.

As well as the old and new characters! the game features the returns of some of my favorites like the big man Moby and Disco Hippi Eddie!

The only downfalls I see is it becomes a bit easy once you rank up your player, although the game sort of tries to counter that with default players set for every region. As well as the fact that a one-use pass-code is required for online play. >.<

Still a very fun and enjoyable game, and you can buy a pass-code from EA SPORT's web-sight.

I can't believe they left out local (split-screen) multiplayer. This was the funnest part of previous SSX games.

Awesome game, SSX is back, feel like a freshmen in college again getting tricky tricky tricky.

I love this so much, I bought the game and rented it from Gamefly :) lol . This game is one of a kind and i Hope the series continues until I see my great grandchildren being born :) . Awesome, just awesome!

this game is asome

Overview
======================
First off let me say this is a good game, and probably lower in my mind because it just wasn't my thing. For me it became repetitive....go down slope and pull off some tricks. It was cool for a bit, but got boring. Maybe if I was more into snowboarding that would be fine.

It is a good rent overall and I'm sure a great rent or even buy for a snow boarding fanatic.

Pros
===============
1) good graphics (not mind-blowing, but good)
2) responsive controls
3) neat settings (night modes and such)

Cons
===============
1) just felt repetitive

I'm going to say this up front, this review is for people who are new to the SSX franchise, (like me) so as such my opinion will probably greatly differ from any long time fan. I myself love snowboarding and thought this game would be awesome. Well, it is and it isn't. For starters, the game looks beautiful. It runs smoothly with very little to no frame rate issues, and just all around looks awesome graphically. It really feels like you are flying down a mountain. And the soundtrack is fantastic, one of the best to be sure. Another thing I like is all the options for gear you have. Do I want a wing suit or extra armor? Choosing these 'perks' is fun, and trying different combinations is cool. The tricks are also awesome, totally crazy and impossible, but fun and cool to look at. Combos are also easy to link together, but are really confusing to figure out. Now, the bad thing is its hard, really hard. I'm all for a challenge, but SSX pushes it a little too much. I haven't played any of the old ones so I'm a newbie, and after a few hours playing, I still have no idea what I'm doing. That's not saying I'm not having fun, I am, but the career mode is frustratingly difficult to the point where it takes the fun out of it and the 'Survive It' modes are annoying. Now this is all fine and good for some people and I'm fine with that, but it really bugs me when I fail at the same thing, dozens of times with no difference in outcome. The tutorials are just words, and really give little help. Getting good at this game will take loads of time (which I don't necessarily have) and tons of patience.

Pros: Beautiful graphics, smooth gameplay, great customizable options, lots of variety in tracks and the soundtrack is freaking brilliant!

Cons: Incredibly difficult, takes lots of time to master, not enough tutorials, the AI is kind of over the top as well.

So, I enjoy this game, but only on free play. The campaign just frustrates me. So if you're a noob like me, proceed with ca
