8.5 Presentation
An awesome global menu system, customizable everything, and even some neat comic book stories for the characters.
9.0 Graphics
The huge, diverse mountain ranges look great, every character is mad stylish and over the top.
8.5 Sound
Eclectic and fun soundtrack from some of the industry’s hottest new electronic and rock names. Shame there’s not more voice acting.
9.0 Gameplay
Over the top, insane snowboarding action that blows the doors off every other boarding game.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
RiderNet and Global Events provide constant challenge, despite the lack of traditional multiplayer.
9.0
OVERALL
Amazing
(out of 10)

Was just watching this. Really makes me want the game now. Used to love those kinds of games although my personal favorite was 1080 for the N64. Lack of real multiplayer is weird but those kinds of games have always been about just playing over and over again when I've got nothing better to do. never really played multiplayer in skate but I've put 100's of hours into that game.

Looks like a good "someday" game.

Having played the demo (which is fantastic)........ and knowing that i can pull off tricks with the BUTTONS, this game is without a doubt a purchase for me.

Good to have SSX back, and thank GOD you have the option to play the game with the same control scheme as SSX's from back in the day.

Will definitely buy it after a price-drop.

Thats' what I thought initially, but after a while with the right stick, I quite like it and I think the controls are better that way for the extra things (like wingsuit etc...)

I didn't expect any less, and totally agree with the review

Also, feel free to add me as a friend on PSN to compete on SSX, I need some people to beat! (or get thrashed by to motivate myself), though I won't actually be posting any times until the 9th March, as I don't have PSN until then

The biggest problem that i have with extreme sports games that use analog controls is, i'm left handed, so over the years it's been a benefit to me with games like Street Fighter, but having to use the right analog stick is far from smoothe for a lefty like myself.

That's why when the likes of Skate came along, i got frustrated, because suddenly one of my fave genres was flooded with all those types of games having analog controls for tricks (shaun white and so on)

Thats why i'm also looking forward to Tony Hawk's HD in the summer (the last extreme sports game that i truly enjoyed was Project 8) SSX coming out is momentous for me, because it's been 4 years since i played a new extreme sports game with buttons for tricks as opposed to analog.

Having both control types was a great move, and i hope that all future extreme sports games implement this.

I don't have a PS3 at this stage, but when i eventually get round to getting one.......... and if you still have the game, i'd be happy to give you a game man.
