SSX Tricky - Xbox Game (Retro Fam)

This is a truly great SSX game, IMHO. The style isn't quite the same as SSX Tricky, but it's refreshingly difficult to pull-off truly complicated moves, versus the more arcade-y "push a button and I'll do my hardest trick"-type of control scheme used in many other extreme sports games (skateboarding games, snowboarding games, MX games, etc).I admit I waited for it to dip below $20 before I made a purchase, and if there's a multiplayer element, I haven't sampled it. I've had it for about a month and it satisfies the exact niche in my collection that I wanted it to: it's a game that reminds me of the days of Tony Hawk 1 & 2 and the OG SSX Tricky on PS1, PS2, etc. It's a game where I really feel compelled to pass the controller after my run, watch my friend try his best, and then take the controller back. Not a lot of games are setup to work well with that playstyle anymore.

I loved the old games. It brings me back great memories. This game is good to play. I like when they do tricks and gliding on the pole or whatever. Mostly, this game is awesome. The gameplay is great and the graphic is pretty darn good.

Yes I was disappointed when I found out they dropped the 3D aspect and even more upset over them dropping splitscreen but this game is just plain fun. I've had it since Day 1 and keep going back for more. I just hope they add in splitscrren as DLC down the road.They have a variety of slopes and I feel I've barely made a dent of knowing all the places and how the runs are. Even though the game soundtrack is good I highly recommend making your SSX playlist from your computer with your favorite songs and hit the slopes again. It's fun and relaxing even when you're shooting hard for the higher scores. I hope this has resurrected the series and that we'll see future titles with updates giving us fans what we asked for in the beginning.

Great game. A little toooo fast.

This game is great. There is a story-ish mode and then a mode thats more similar to the older ssx games where you go for gold medals.
