Pros: A song for dot, racing, and trick system
Cons: The race engine falls a little flat at times
Summary: Inside of a block buster was the last copy of this great game within miles. Sure, a lot of the video game stores carried tricky. But, what I wanted was something within a range. Looking at the games there and back at myself in the store mirror I made ... read more

Pros: Nice graphics and sound
Cons: Colission detection errors, bad controls, too much junk on the maps
Summary: SSX is a snowboard racing game from EA Sports. It has received all kinds of great reviews and praise, but I honestly don’t see what all the fuss is about. SSX tries to be the snowboarding answer to the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series of games, but fails ... read more

Pros: graphics, gameplay
Cons: easy game
Summary: EA SPORTS nails the intensity of snowboarding racing all in one game. SSX delivers knee-pounding, teeth clattering rides on the wildest runs ever imagined. No matter how you carve it, you are racing against the slickest speed demons to ever hit the snow. ... read more

Pros: graphics, sounds, playability
Cons: time loss, price
Summary: EA have surprised me in every way possible to make SSX one of the best games available on the PS2.
This is not my usual type of game and refused to believe my friends rantings about it until one dark and stormy night we gathered round the ... read more

Pros: good graphics, characters with personality, several modes of play, not realistic
Cons: lame background music, requires substantial amount of time to improve characters greatly, not realistic
Summary: Though it takes a little time to pick up, this game is absolutely great! You have several different characters to choose from, each with their own personality and riding style. As you win races, you earn points toward improving your rider's proficiency ... read more

Pros: It was made for a good console.
Cons: Poor graphics, over-rated, overall weak.
Summary: When I first purchased my Playstation 2, I was thrilled to get SSX. I read all the magazines and internet articles I could about all the release games, and all gave SSX the highest scores. I give SSX 2 thumbs down.
First off, visually, ... read more

Pros: Well thought-out courses, great music, awesome graphics.
Cons: Annoying announcer, More characters & courses would be nice.
Summary: I'm not a big fan of so called "X-games" but this really made me eat my words. I usually check out a review source on the web before I go out and buy games. Even though it was receiving rave reviews, I did not want to risk spending my hard earned money ... read more

Pros: A breath of fresh air for recently lackluster snowboarding titles.
Cons: Having to wait for SSX Tricky
Summary: With less than stellar snowboarding games the past few years, a company needed to set an example of greatness. EA Sports is that company, SSX is the game. EA Sports BIG has created a game that is just that, bigger and better than all snowboarding games ... read more

Pros: Quality graphics, Great characters, Superb tracks... Nearly everything
Cons: Commentary can become irritating... Losing a race?
Summary: This was the first game I bought for my Playstation 2, and I really wish I hadn't, because it set my expectations 'way' too high.
The game doesn't really have much depth, but no sports games do! Where it probably fairs better than any other ... read more

Pros: Addictively fun, great graphics
Cons: Not much
Summary: My first PS2 game was Gran Turismo 3 (I bought the GT3 PS2 bundle). I can't stop playing Gran Turismo 3, except to play SSX. SSX is quite possibly the most addictive snowboarding game around.
EA has put together a game of complete balance ... read more

Pros: awesome graphics, fun for a while
Cons: gets tiresome after a few days, sound is mediocre
Summary: As many of you know, I recently spent most of the money I earned this summer on the Playstation 2. So far, I’ve been pretty happy with it. I only had money to buy one game with the PS2 because of its giant price tag (I know $300 isn’t much for those of ... read more

Pros: graphics, gameplay, HUGE courses
Cons: controls
Summary: Compared to the number of people who have ever actually snowboarded, it's amazing how many games there are based on the sport. The Saturn had Steep Slope Sliders. The Dreamcast has Rippin' Riders. The N64 produced the excellent 1080 Snowboarding. The PSX ... read more

Pros: Great graphics, trick combos, the courses, easy to control!
Cons: None really, honestly.
Summary: I have to start out by saying that the effort put into creating this game must have been an extreme amount because this game is awesome! The characters are put together so very well in SSX, there are many great courses you can play on, and the different ... read more

Pros: Great grafics/ Best snowboarding game on the market
Cons: Not much
Summary: First of all I have played a few snowboard games before and nothing even remotely compares to SSX. I got this game in a PS2 bundle and I first played Madden 2001. A great game. Then I played some other game which was good as well. Then I played SSX and ... read more
