SSX Tricky Rocks on Rhyme The Entire Time

The Completionist – When it comes to sports games I wasn’t a huge fan of the realistic ones. The games created by EA Sports Big were flashy and a lot more interesting, and the first game from them to really stand out was SSX Tricky. Released on the PS2 and other consoles it is considered one of the best snowboarding games out there. Not only did it have wild character designs but focused on precision to master moves and get the most out of your run. It’s time to dive into Tony Hawk on Ice!

Grab your board and take on the slopes of SSX as you’ve never seen them before. Two brand-new runs, six never-before-seen riders, and tons of original tricks, shortcuts, and jumps make SSX Tricky the ultimate snowboarding experience. With voices supplied by celebrities such as Oliver Platt and Macy Gray, the SSX Tricky riders come to life on the snow-covered icy mountain courses. Establish friendships, create rivalries, and show off your high-flying skills in three different types of races. And when you’re ready to catch real air, reach into your bag and bust out one of the crazy new über-tricks that take airborne flight to the next level, with flips, twirls, and more. New Garibaldi and Alaska courses let you get more vertical and catch more air, while all the original courses have some new surprises. Six new riders join most of the original SSX crew to provide a wide range of abilities and competition.
