Intense snowboarding excitement comes back to the PS2 in this remix of the fan-favorite SSX. Whether you're interested in high-flying tricks or high-velocity racing, you'll find plenty of what you're looking for in SSX TRICKY. Take your pick from a field of more than three-dozen boarders and vie for the highest rating in each unique event. Training mode allows you to get your chops down before entering the competition, World Circuit mode is a full-fledged competition that spans several events, and Show Off mode challenges you to pull off as many dangerous stunts as you can within an allotted time period. This installment of the game features all-new tracks, more character interactions, and a cool, new soundtrack. Of course, the game is packed with shortcuts and secrets to uncover, plenty of bonuses, and loads of other thrills. The graphics are built on the same model as the original game, but a few new flourishes add to the visual landscape of this nerve-wracking ride.

After Madden 2001 and the promise of the eventual release of Gran Turismo 3, the PS2 gaming waters became more muddled. Nearly everyone who purchased a PS2 on launch day went home with Madden 2001, but a comparable number also went home with SSX--a new title from the EA Sports BIG line that made a good impression with some slick advertising and compelling screenshots prior to launch. What gamers were in store for was a game that quietly slipped past Madden in many circles as the best title available at launch. SSX combined great looking graphics with crisp presentation and frenetic yet approachable gameplay to become the ballast that helped many early adopters of the PS2 brave the storm of poor software support that plagued the fledgling months of the PS2s life.
