Yes that’s right folks, lil’old me, bagged a corker and got right down to it. Little tip, watch out for frostbite !……….

………but ill doubt ull get it, because ull be playing it from the comfort of you own home. Gosh. You didn’t honestly think I would get down to it on the peaks, please. lol

INTRO

SSX is one of the launch day titles for the playstation2. Therefore should be a fair representation of a 1st generation game. If this is so all I can say is:

“Daaaamn, if this is 1st generation, what the heck are they gonna look like in a couple of years time ?!!”

The visuals in this game are nothing but incredible. Anyway enough about my obsession with eye candy, on to a basic description of the game.

BASICS

SSX is a snowboarding game. That’s about the basic id say ! Well also the fact that it for the playstation 2. Its made by EA sports’ new department called “Big”, they say they will be producing more sports sims in the futures. Including a special edition of ssx, on DVD format. Should d be a corker.

FEATURES

8 riders- each with their own personality, and there own preferences towards other riders. They also have unique abilities, i.e. Mack is the daddy at tricks where as Jurgen is good all round. Also the bigger the rider, the harder they can push their opponents, but the slower they will speed down the icy mountains.

8 tracks + Secret one – Tracks get unlocked when you complete certain areas of the game. They are simply huge and are very wide; most areas can be explored as if you were there. Different tracks are designed for different activities, i.e. Pipe Dream is for doing tricks.

2 player- as well as the standard 1 player game there is the absolutely amazing 2-player option. Speed along with you mate at a crisp 60 frames per second. However it’s not as good as one player
.

AND THE VERDICT Is..

9/10. For a relatively new game, where psx2 is in its primitive stages, ssx is absolutely mind-numbing. It’s a must have for all psx 2 owners, and the reason to buy one for those without. Top class
