    Let's get one thing straight right away - the snowboarding in SSX is still great, while the tracks and new gameplay elements make the experience still feel fresh and fun! However, everything else about the game is poor. From the need to jump through hoops of menus to just get into a race and then stare at a long loading screen when you (re)start it, nearly kills off any sort of excitement you've built up. Then there's the identity crisis. The serious tone of the original reveal trailer is sadly still present throughout, while the lighter elements feel tacked on and cringey.
    Pros: Snowboarding feels great, cool gadgets spruce up the gameplay, usually great tracks with loads of routes, solid soundtrack
    Cons: Takes too damn long to get into a race and/or restart it, has a serious identity crisis, the need to grind extensively in order to get good snowboards, you can use only 1 predetermined gadget per race, poor customisation options, useless rewind mechanic

      Editing … There's no local multiplayer either. Real shame, I loved playing the PS2 SSX games with my mates.

      Editing … Indeed, although while I was playing it I actually thought about how hard it would be to implement the splitscreen multiplayer. The tracks are rather intricate and it might be a bit messy having your screen split. Regardless, it's a shame that local multiplayer is dying out...

      Editing … Did anyone else think On Tour was the best game? Don't know why everybody was so down on it when it came out.

      Editing … I prefer On Tour as well actually, the huge map of branching runs was great and it had the best soundtrack in the series.

      Editing … Yeah the soundtrack was great, it's the sound of indie and punk in the mid 00s. And some old school metal and hard rock too!
