Pull off jaw-dropping monster tricks to out-style your competitors while hurtling down the slopes at supersonic speeds. You create the hype the hype creates a legend in SSX On Tour.

    Good game5
    Game is good, music is good, lots of places to ride and tacks to complete.

    SSX has a dramatic face lift... 5
    Having bought a PS2 solely to play SSX, I was secretly looking forward to a faster, better version of SSX 3 coming out. However, I couldn't have been more wrong.

    SSX On Tour is in some ways, quite unexpected. It is very different to the rest of the series, but at the same time, very similar.

    I wasn't keen at first because you don't go through a season of pure racing and freestyling. It's more about developing your skills in mini challenges which wasn't what I was expecting.
    However, it's now a firm favourite because these challenges actually force you to become a better boarder/skier. With the older games, you can scrape your way through to completing the whole thing without really being that good a player. With On Tour, you won't get anywhere after a while if you are not up to scratch.

    The SSX range has undergone a complete revolution. The whole format that every other game has been based on is completely absent from this game.

    The features are good fun as well, for example the barbers shop and clothes shop in the 'village'. A much, much more detailed game than the others, with superior graphics that make playing that much more realistic.

    I heartily recommend this game, though I do think it takes a while to get into it in the same way. If you have an earlier version, I'd suggest having an open mind when buying this game. If you've never played SSX before, then you're looking at the best snowboarding console game range ever made. For a first time buyer, I would possibly suggest that SSX 3 is a slightly better choice....but only because it's easier.

    I find the game a surprising but welcome direction for the creators to have taken. It would have been so easy to create SSX 4 in exactly the same format as the others, but by taking a risk they have created something of a legend.

    Good game. But SSX 3 is better4
    I have played most of the SSX games(except SSX tricky) and when i bought SSX 3 i was suprised how good it was.It was brilliant.I bought this a couple of days ago and its great.The Tour Mode is brilliant and also the addition of Ski's is a nice feature.

    But SSX on Tour is not as good as SSX 3.Its not HUGELY worse just slightly.

    If you have SSX 3 then get this.If not then get SSX 3 first and seeing as there both so cheap get SSX on tour afterwards.
