    Not only is this game the best SSX game but it's actually a classic game in gaming overall. This game is pure fun. You need to own this game if you still use your PS2.

    This game is pure crap which is topped with dumb celebrity voice overs, over use for "Tricky" and bad camera angles. The speed of SSX is slowed in Tricky and the tracks are boiled down to empty reruns and lame new tracks. The characters are so bland the trick mode is bad mainly cuz or the tracks. GET SSX 3, it's a major improvement!

    A game that will make you stay at home for weeks. A great challenge with speed and tricks. The graphics, sound etc are wicked.

    This game rocks! The It's Tricky song by Run DMC goes great with the game, and what in the sam heck does Uber mean?

    I didn't think I would really be into snowboarding games but this is excellent. This is not only the best PS2 game, but the best game I have bought ever! And if the game doesn't get you, I bet you won't stop singing the 'Tricky' Song.

    Extremely fun (except for one course, Mesablanca, which is more frustrating than hard). Lots of secret areas to find and explore. Great graphics. Outrageous moves and tricks. Needs more courses (there's 10) and depth though. Its cheap now, so its worth buying.

    Great great game. Didn´t give it a ten cause it lacks more character customizing.

    This Game is Wonderful! The Graphics are Awesome, but, unfortunately, there is an overuse of "Trickies." But even that overuse didn't bring down the score! SSX has NEVER BEEN BETTER! Any Other Lower Score WOULD DEFINATELY BE A PUT-DOWN! THIS IS THE TRUE RATING! Sweet! It banged the sh*t out of Me!

    Words cannot describe how awesome SSX Tricky is it remains to be the best snowboarding game of all time sorry but 1080 Avalanche does not come close to competing with it must buy and as it is from 2001 it is extremly cheap but is not that easy to come by but play this game you wont regret it.

    This is probably one of the best games I've ever played, and it's probably one of the greatest PS2 games out there. The fun and exuberance is infectious, the visuals are nice and colorful, and the controls play nice and smooth. The soundtrack is also one of the best to hit a home console game. This game is the full codifying embodiment of recklessness and awesomeness.

    This game is excessively good. Even though it is nostalgic, going back and playing it doesn't just bring nostalgia. This game is SUPER fun. You NEED to play this game. It is a fast-paced game with ridiculous tricks to pull off & fun music the whole game. Even the bonus features are fun to watch. I cannot find a flaw in this game. One of the funnest / best games of all time, in my opinion.

    "SSX Tricky" is the Tony Hawk of snowboarding games. It's colorful, over-the-top and tons of fun. Highly-accessible, yet very challenging. This is a true PS2 classic. A masterpiece of arcade-like extreme sports. I would rate it with a 9.2 out of 10.

    Probably the best SSX game to date. Took the original and made the riders handle smoother and better.

    i dont know where to start, 2001 game that tops most 2018 games regarding pure entertainment.
    i wish there was a remake of this game for todays consoles. i would trade my left leg for this kind of remake. not that the gaming company would ever need a leg, but in conclusion... this is the best ps2 game. Imagine multiplayer on such beauty concept. wow! 10/10

    It's by far my favorite game of all time, absolutely everything is perfect in my opinion. Every character has it's own personality and that's cool because you do not feel bored playing with them. The soundtrack is amazingly perfect, the uber tricks is what makes this game the best snowboarding franchise of all time. The tracks are so cool and unique.

    Ssx is a 10/10, and this added the small tweaks it deserved. My only gripe is that it didnt add enough. Would have like to see 3-5 more tracks. It did come out pretty soon after ssx though and what it did add was superb, so maintains the 10 rating
