Snowboard Supercross SSX (PS2)

SSX for those of you who don't know, stands for snowboard supercross, I think. Anyway this is not very important except that I have just told you it is a snowboarding game-no don't go away. This game is unlike any snowboarding game before in that it is actually truly entertaining and stunningly beautiful. The game is made by EA Big, a new division of EA Sports and they have truly excelled themselves on this their first outing on the PS2. Now I was a bit sceptical of this game as it was made by EA and I have never really liked any of EA Sports other games such as the long running Fifa series, yawn. As mentioned before EA Big have done tremendously well in ...  Read the complete review

I bought a playstation 2 after the Christmas hype, it cost me £300 which was very expensive for a student so I said to myself I had to make it worth the while. I knew games were expensive so I told myself I would only get the best games. When I visited my local Woolworths store they didn’t have much to offer apart from fifa 2001, SSX, tekken, and a few other car games. Not a big fan of car games and already having fifa on my pc I went for SSX. I have never really thought of buying a snowboarding game before, as it is something I am not very familiar with. Plus when I bought my playstation I would of said “probably not” to anyone who ...  Read the complete review

As far as launch titles go, SSX is one Hell of a way to kickstart a console - this is a fantastic snowboarding game that recalls the glory days of the Cool Boarders series, focusing on the player pulling off insane stunts with style and finesse. Visually, it's a solid game, although outdone by other launch titles like Timesplitters. Nevertheless, there's a good amount of detail, and the character movements are solidly animated. However, what really makes the game shine is its splendid gameplay, which is probably the best that the genre has ever offered. The best part of the game, which involves tricks, gauges your success via a meter on the screen which ...  Read the complete review

I'm not kidding when I say that - SSX is the best game I have ever played in my life! Now I don't usually go for snowboarding games, but hey, I'm an impulse buyer, and am I glad that my hand reached for this game! You can compete in World Circuit or Single Event. In World circuit, you have at first one race to compete in. Depending on how well you do in this race, you get 'Experience Points' to build up the abilities of your character, and unlock new boards and race venues. Once you've unlocked a race venue in Word circuit, you can then play it in the single event (the 2 player). All the race venues are superb - there ...  Read the complete review

Ok, you probably gueesed from my title that I am a really big fan of this game. I have always been a fan of snowboarding games and have played a lot of them. The constant fun of SSX kept me on the edge of my seat as I boarded through the amazingly detailed courses. The graphics of SSX make 1080 like a game from the seventies. Its eye popping graphics make the unique fantisy-like courses seem to jump out of the the screen. This game doesn't end outside of the fences that mark the course. You can go boarding right through the woods. Along with all of the PS2 games this titles grapicks are awsome. One of my favorite parts of this game are the courses. Since this game ...  Read the complete review
