Product Description

Players can discover the open mountain in the newest version of the smash-hit SSX snowboarding franchise.

SSX 3 allows gamers to go anywhere gravity will take them. Players will discover a colossal mountain where they can immerse themselves in a free-roaming snow paradise. The ultimate all-mountain experience, SSX 3 features all-new events and courses, awe-inspiring tricks and a cast of cool, customisable characters. Discover the open terrain, explore its hidden crevices, and conquer its peaks.

Produced under the EA SPORTS BIG brand, the SSX 3 development team at EA Canada is adding technologies that bring to life rich natural graphics such as snow that sparkles and blows in the wind and realistic character shadowing. A new gameplay experience allows users to seamlessly ride from one awesome area to the next- entering competitions, taking on Big Challenges and discovering hidden collectibles. SSX 3 has blown out the trick component with unlimited combos and new, over-the-top tricks.

In addition to the new boarding venues, Big Challenges rewards players for completing any of the more than 100 unique challenges as they explore the mountain's vast world. Grind billboards, board press logs, even hand plant the fence line.

The musical soundtrack features a broad range of music from artists including the X-Ecutioners, Felix Da Housecat, Queens of the Stone Age, N.E.R.D., and many more.

Best game in the Universe
Buy it! I can't put it down! Non-stop adrenalin,fantastic graphics and gameplay. I can never try real snowboarding now....I'm too good in the virtual world, the real thing would be a massive let-down :-)

Dont read any further, just buy it
Having read evey ones else reviews i don;'t want to repeat the same praises for this game over again, simply to say if you buy it you will love it and not regret owning it for a second!!!

Brilliant!
Having played he two previous SSX games and hearing great things about this one, I was looking forward to getting my hands on it. have to say I was not disappointed.

When you first get to play the career mode you're dropped off at the bottom of the backcountry and it takes your breath away. The snow is beautiful, changing all the time depending upon the where you are on the mountain. In the back country it's fresh powder but in the race courses it's more compacted allowing faster speeds. The whole game is free roaming, you can choose to ride to each event or cheat by taking the osprey or cable car.

The music is excellent, using lesser know songs from well-known artists such as Placebo and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The DJ is good, giving you updates on how your character is doing and what your current rival is saying.

The freeride challenges are many and often very challenging and to complete them all and find all the money crystals would take months of constant playing. However, this isn't a bad thing, as it means you always have something to come back to do.

Overall, SSX3 is vastly superor in every way to it's predecessors, with beautiful scenery and excelent tricks. I would even say it's better than the most recent offering, SSX On Tour. Buy it now.
