Building on the core speed and trick gameplay that has been so successful in the past, players can now choose their way to become black diamond fiends. SSX On Tour allows players to create their own boarder or skier and take them from a wannabe to a mountain rockstar. Players can get noticed in all-new shred challenges where they earn an invitation to The Tour where they'll face the best racers in the SSX cast.

    It's one of those long-term compelling games, perfect for digging in and ranking up, practicing competitively, or just relaxing and letting gravity do its thing. It is as once a sport, a pastime, and one of the finest games you can enjoy at your own pace.

    The fact that the mountain is alive and teeming with other skiers makes this game that much better because it has a feeling of more realism in comparison to the other games in the series.

    The game hits its stride late, but when it does, it hits it big. There’s a lot of fun here for the patient gamer.

    SSX still rules the snowboard scene, but On Tour fails to live up to its predecessors. [Nov 2005, p.95]

    It's a different game without being a different game. Enjoyable without being extraordinary.

    The issue here perhaps that the SSX franchise was not yet ready for another sequel, and EA’s attempt to further cash in on their past success has resulted in a game that is inferior to its predecessors.

SSX on Tour is every bit as good a game as SSX 3, but I guess because it isn't a next-gen sequel, it fails to get the high marks that previous entries got. Regardless of what anyone says, On Tour provides an action experience that other games don't have. On Tour isn't a huge step up from SSX 3, but it offers some new tracks and the blur effect when you're using boost adds to the feeling of speed. Anthony V., the fact that you're biggest criticism of the game is its "art direction" is pretty telling. I think it's fine, it just adds some personality to what's already a really polished game. There might be less "character development" (you mean there was character development in the previous installments?), but c'mon, everyone knows that the real star of the game is the mountain. I do miss playing as the individual characters in career mode (like in SSX 3), and it was nice to have the character voices. And the addition of skiing doesn't do anything for me at all. The graphics are clearly current-gen, but I can live with it, it's about how the game makes you feel, not how good the graphics are. But one thing I like about this game is that so many games out there might involve violence or have a negative skew (which I don't have a problem with), but it's nice to see a game that you wouldn't have a problem letting your kids play or is about something positive. Not to mention it's one of the most fun video game experiences out there. Inevitably they'll come out with a next-gen SSX game and I'm sure that one'll get all the high marks that this one didn't.… Expand

    Same as SSX 1,2, and 3, but now with ski's ! Lacks any character development, brings nothing new to the genre. Career mode is nothing Same as SSX 1,2, and 3, but now with ski's ! Lacks any character development, brings nothing new to the genre. Career mode is nothing more then a dumb-downed rip-off of Tony Hawk's. Includes a horrible soundtrack, even worse SFX, horrendous artwork, and breaks almost ever rule of design knowen. spend your money on a few elastics and a hair clip, guaranteed more fun.… Expand
