Favorite Action Sports Game

One of my all time favorite arcade games. Best snowboarding game ever made! This game is so much fun! I owned it on both the GameCube and Playstation 2. Although SSX tricky is old, it is still the reigning champ among snowboarding games. The games core is its insane ability to let the snowboarder pull of sick tricks and tricky moves. There are many characters in the game and each one has there own special outfits, boards and most importantly, trick moves. The controls for the game are simple. While in the air, the shoulder buttons are used to pull of sick grabs which can be tweaked. If you pull off enough insane tricks, your tricky meter gets filled and you can pull off one of 5 tricky moves such as the worm on top of your board, a move where you wrap the board around your body, a move where you lay down on top of your board and many more. There are two modes to the game, race and freestyle. In race mode, you race against other players through an assortment of courses and in freestyle, the point is to bust as many tricks as you can. The graphics are pretty good. Its cartoony, vibrant, very colorful. The environments (tracks) look very good. The characters look good, each one has their own personality. Each character says many different things during races when they get hit by others, when their in the air and when you choose them in the menu. They have pretty funny lines. Overall: Although there are new SSX games out since tricky, SSX Tricky is still the best. You cant beat its wide array of characters, courses and tricks. Once you start, youll never be able to tear yourself away from this game.
