There are so many Extreme things you can do with a Board.
Never one to be left out in the cold, EA brings the �open-world design� vogue to snowboarding this fall with SSX 3. The new engine in this year�s SSX brings players to the top of the mountain and turns them loose in a winter wonderland that features trick venues, rail parks, racecourses, half-pipes, and plenty of competition. New Uber Tricks and the ability to perform hand-plants ought to spice up gameplay, and four new playable characters are joining the lineup. Over 100 Big Challenges are scattered across the mountain�s three peaks. Players can join in several events: Race, Big Air, Slope Style, and Super Pipe, or just freeride for fun and practice. A level-up system increases characters� abilities, and you can eventually earn the right to rename the mountain peaks. SSX 3 is shaping up to be the biggest extreme sports extravaganza yet to hit the consoles (it�s coming out for all three). Could SSX 3 put T.H.U.G. on ice? Perhaps it already has.
