Outstanding!
Possibly the finest snowboarding game ever. SSX 3 offers an insane number of challenges, near-limitless replay value, and tight gameplay from start to finish. Read Review
EA takes its snowboarding series to higher ground -- this time, to the tippy-top slopes of three fully-modeled mountains for players to explore and shred. It's a revolution inspired by free-roam success of Rockstar's GTA franchise, but EA has made the idea all its own by filling each mountain with miles of terrain to explored and a variety of challenges, course races, stunts and rival encounters to compete against. New to the series beyond the open course structure is the boardpress move (much like the "manual" in other extreme sports games) for stringing combos together across flatlands, extreme weather affects that affect rider physics and can even bring an avalanche down on players, 3-level Uber tricks, handplant tricks, improvements in character customization, and even online head-to-head play on the PlayStation 2.
Own the mountain. Riding tips, Race and Freestyle walkthrough, secrets and more.
Generally speaking, when a game is released across all three console platforms, one version ends up sneaking ahead of the other two in some way or another. In the case of EA's superb SSX 3, it's PlayStation 2 owners who are really going to get the most out of the slopes and their snowboards. As the third game in the popular EA SPORTS snowboarding franchise, SSX 3 manages to elevate its game to the next level in almost every conceivable way. Ranging from some of the largest environments I can remember to tight races, open-ended free-runs, and huge trick competitions, SSX 3 offers a mind-bogglingly massive challenge spanning three huge peaks on a single whopping mountain construct. With the new limitless combo system, freedom to do anything you want, and drop-dead gorgeous visuals, SSX 3 has it all -- including PS2-only online play via the Internet. Read More »
Open-ended gameplay kicks ass. It especially kicks ass in EA Big's latest snowboarding title, SSX 3. The game presents the player with a hugely daunting task. It's up to you to conquer three towering icy peaks on one monstrous mountain. SSX 3 is rapidly becoming one of the most promising action-sports titles ever. Taking all of the best bits of the previous two titles in the series, SSX 3 puts you in the driving seat and lets you decide how to best unlock and beat all of the challenge that the mountain has to offer.

Face it. Ignoring the EA BIG brand is impossible, mainly due to its mainstay power-player franchise, SSX. Without the snow-sliding centerpiece, the label probably wouldn't be half as popular as it is today. To follow-up the wildly successful SSX Tricky, the cold-crazed boys up in EA's Canadian studio are ramping it up. Everything you loved about past installments in the series is intact -- the insane stunts, the intense speed, the exhilarating, intoxicating fun factor -- but with more of a bang. And everything that didn't quite work -- such as the celebrities voicing the cartoon riders -- has been dumped off the ski lift. Read More »
