SSX 3 (GC)

It always worries me when EA release yet another sequel to a game, as it often shouts out "Cash Cow" in big fat flashing neon letters. Milk a successful franchise for all its worth because you know people will buy it irrespective of the games' quality. So forgive me for approaching on the side of caution, when I bought this game. Following on from the success of SSX Tricky (the game's predecessor), which I also owned prior to this purchase, I was tempted to see what improvements could be made to a game that I held in quite high regard.

This is also about the pS2 version, but can only imagine it's very similar to the Gamecube version. The last one certainly was (if it ain't broke, why fix it?). If you're an avid gaming fan, then you have no doubt heard of one of the titles from this beautiful little trilogy. If you haven't I'll give you a very quick Intro and background on it.

I bought this game having played all the other ssx games i had thouroughly enjoyed ssx tricky with all the uber tricks and the unique characters. i had mastered garibaldi knowing all the shortcuts and all the best jumps to get the highest point scores on ssx 3 however they have totally changed the layout of the game now you have to actually snowboard to all the options and whilst doing this u can pull off big tricks and earn money this money can be spent on hundreds of upgrades from stat to clothes and boards i think this has added another level to the game. Another new feature is that you have to do normal uber grab as it wud seem to be a good name for them before you ...  Read the complete review
