If they keep it tight like SSX Tricky it would be amazing. On Tour would have been so much better without all the useless menus and dodgy presentation. In the grand scheme of things it was an okay game overshadowed by its predecessors.

I got a new copy of it for the Xbox, £1.99. Can't really moan for that price.

Soundtrack is bad, the courses are lazy, the game somehow doesn't have the character of the PS2 versions. The worst bt though, is having to draw a fucking shape on the screen to do the uber tricks, its totally retarded.

Maybe not as strong in character as tricky or SSX 3, but the more minimalist approach was a breath of fresh air after On Tour. The courses are just lifted from the two previous games, so I guess that was a tad lazy.

It's the controls that really make the game.

How much of a proper go did you give the uber tricks?

If Blur's special tricks were easier to pull off then it would've been a much better experience.

I seem to remember the trick to them was not trying to draw the shape on screen as if pointing, rather draw it in the air using the Wiimote whilst keeping it level. I still found them a bit temperamental, but changing methods certainly made things easier.

I was bemoaning the lack of a new SSX after going back and playing Tricky and 3 on PS2 while awaiting a replacement 360. Just a souped up version of those would please me greatly. As long as Bif Naked returns as the voice of Zoe.

Back when I was student and I had time to spare for games but no money to buy any, I used to play a full mountain run on SSX3 everyday at about half four-ish, so that when I started it was light outside and when I finished I was in total darkness. I also used to play four tracks in the middle of a Chemical Brothers album (Push the Button, I think) which fitted PERFECTLY.

Fucking glorious times. :D:( :(

I bought On Tour on PSP and the shoulder buttons combined with a flip made me feel like I was going to snap my the machine in two. Blur was just shit if you ask me. Apart from anything else, there was far too much RAWK!

I'd like a new SSX AND Cool Boarders. Bet then I'm greedy. And probably remembering CB through rose-tinted glasses.

SSX3 was aces, some of the drops were genuinely rad.

I played Coolboarders not long back... Still fun, but it is no SSX Tricky

I wish I could remember what I did with my Gamecube (or Wii) so I could go carve some powder...erm, that last bit sounds more illegal than was intended.

I don't get the tricky obsession - SSX1 was where it was at - Remind yourselves why this was the premier PS2 launch title (in the West at least)

(you can forward to 1:00 as that's just the ps3 dash)

I wish I had a 60gb model now :D Look at the amount of shit going on for a 1st gen title - incredible.

Ah, SSX. :blink:

I remember the original game so fondly. Playing Elysium Alps for the first time on PS2 was my "fuck, this new console is goooooood" next gen moment. Just the sheer scale of it dwarfed anything on PS1.

And I loved Tricky and SSX3 to bits, too. I really hope that EA will go back to the spirit of those games, rather than try something different that may not work.

Altogether now 't's Tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time, It's Tricky'...

"...It's Tricky, tricky, tricky, HUH!"

One of my favourite touches was he way the (awesome) music would change the further away you were from the ground. The wooshing as you game to land - love it, love it, love it.

Interesting how there seems to be a rather defined split between those that love 3 and Tricky.

I suppose Tricky was an arcade SSX experience. Number 3 was all about the mountain for me; about the off piste ramble through thick untouched powder.
