    While other snowboarding games run out of steam mid-shred, the SSX series continues to gain momentum. [Dec 2003, p.44]

    It’s the kind of game that can be played indefinitely and a player’s performance will continually improve. The tasks ahead look daunting at first, but the depth of the game quickly becomes a player’s best friend as each new play session introduces new surprises.

    One of the tightest games out there... there’s nothing that stands out as a negative, and everything else is a glaring positive. The abundance of ‘stuff to do’ keeps the gameplay fresh and makes 100% completion a task for the gods.

    If you enjoyed "SSX Tricky," you will love SSX 3--it's as simple as that. Even if you hated "Tricky," you still might dig this sequel.

    It's a game that's just incredible fun, mixing in all sorts of gaming ideas with the thrill of the real sport, painting a final touch of extreme excess and color for scintillating effect. [Nov 2003, p.86]

    It's just so massively detailed, so thoroughly improved and so gloriously playable that we have to recommend it. We haven't even touched on the multiplayer aspect, which we'll be doing in our PS2 Online review very soon, but to be honest it wouldn't have to be good - the rest of the game is enough on its own.

    There's no denying that Amped is a far more accurate depiction of snowboarding as a sport, but if it's fun you want you can't go far wrong with this.

    SSX 3 is better than Halo, KOTOR, and Splinter Cell. SSX Tricky was great, but they made some major improvements here.

    This game rocks! I love the customization aspect, as well as the wide assortment of unlockable features/characters. I love Elise, too!

    Anyone who gives this game a negative rating because of how “unrealistic” it is, is missing the point entirely and shouldn’t be critiquingAnyone who gives this game a negative rating because of how “unrealistic” it is, is missing the point entirely and shouldn’t be critiquing games in general lol. This is the holy grail of extreme sports games, controls like butter, utilizes a moderately deep control scheme, and feels more fluid and fast than any other snowboarding game out there by far, to this day no less. Not to mention the masterful soundtrack and unbelievably breathtaking and atmospheric visuals and environments, for 2003 ESPECIALLY.… Expand

    Waayyyy too unrealistic to be worth any of your time. Sure the graphics are cool and the game is "smooth", but if you know a single thing Waayyyy too unrealistic to be worth any of your time. Sure the graphics are cool and the game is "smooth", but if you know a single thing about snowboarding (pro right here) you should be turned off right away.… Expand
