SSX 3: The Good Soundtrack

Advantages: All the best songs from the game
Disadvantages: Just the essential elements of the game's soundtrack

...This review is a follow-up to one which I wrote yesterday, please rate that too. This is the soundtrack to the 2003 snowboarding game, SSX 3. It includes most of the songs which were on the game. I bought this because I enjoyed the music selection from the game. The music genres range from Hip Hop to electronica to metal. I feel that this covers all of the genres and cultures which are associated with extreme sports, of which snowboarding is a part of. Disc 1 1. Don't Let The Man Get You Down - Fatboy Slim **Three Stars** This one is from the UK big beat artist, Fatboy Slim. As soon as I listen to it, I automatically think of this game, not that i hear it anywhere else. This is just as many of his other songs, the music doesn't have much sense to it, its very eccentric, but that's what makes it a Fatboy Slim song. It...

Review of SSX3 - SSX3

Campaign for Real SSX3

Advantages: Addictive game play, character progression, rewards, stunning scenery
Disadvantages: Not matched by any other SSX game in the genre, not a simulator

...Why am I reviewing a game from years back, which although playable on the XBOX 360, was designed for the Playstation2 and the original XBOX, and therefore cannot compare graphically to the new technology? Because the game is outstanding, that's why, and I want the makers to realise what a good thing they were on to, and at least attempt to replicate the gameplay experience inherent on SSX3, instead of wowing us with new graphics which look pretty, but soon get boring. What game players want is an edge. Something to get the adrenalin racing, to keep them playing, to give them a reason to come back, an affinity with the experience they are trying to replicate on the screen in front of them. In our house, playing SSX3 is referrred to as "going down the mountain", because in essence, that is exactly how it feels to play this game...

SSX3: The Bad Soundtrack

Advantages: A couple of the best tracks
Disadvantages: Not the best selection of track on the album

...This is the soundtrack and extras disc to the 2003 snowboarding game, SSX 3. It includes some of the songs which were on the game. The music genres range from Hip Hop to electronica to metal. I feel that this covers all of the genres and cultures which are associated with extreme sports, of which snowboarding is a part of. I bought the full soundtrack first and rented this to see if it was worth getting this and giving away the other version. This varies from the full soundtrack because, that gives you almost all of the tracks from the game, as well as some others. This one has one disc of a few of what were considered to be the best tracks from the game and on disc with extras for he game. Disc 1 1. Don't Let The Man Get You Down - Fatboy Slim **Three Stars** This one is from the UK big beat artist, Fatboy Slim. As soon...

Review of SSX Vol.3 (Original Video Game Soundtrack)+DVD - Various Artists

SSX3 Hot or not?

Advantages: Faster animation, huge tracks
Disadvantages: soundtrack not as good as tricky, split screen mode could be better

...Ok how to sum up SSX3? If you?ve played SSX Tricky in the past you?ll have a fairly good idea of what to expect. Got the idea in your head? Can you almost hear the music and see the mountains? Good. . . Now take that idea screw it up into a ball and throw it over your left shoulder (please note it has to be your left shoulder cos the right one is bad luck.) SSX3 is more than just a re-vamp of Tricky and SSX, the graphics, sound, and controls have all been improved. The first thing that strikes you as odd when you load up SSX3 is the level choosing menu, as with the other games you can just choose where to go from the transport menu, alternatively you can choose to get to the event you want by using the snowboard strapped to your feet. This serves two purposes, firstly you can get used to controls before getting into...

SSX 3 review

Advantages: Fun, easy to pick up
Disadvantages: repetitive, boring after a little while

...them through a career. There are three peaks 1,2 and 3. At first you only have peak one open. On this peak you have three options race-there are four races to compete in you need to win or at least come third in each. However to get all the collectibles in the game you need to come first, even in the heats. What gets the most satisfaction in this area is if you press either R1 or L1 you can knock down your opponents by punching them and gain a speed boost as well. Freestyle-there are around 4 places where you ride this time you don't beat people by getting the fastest time, but by getting the highest score, you do this by doing tricks and combos, the other people scores are on screen so you can monitor where you are in the standings, these are fun to do but get a bit tedious if you do not win them after a few tries, constantly going...

Review of SSX 3 (PS2)

SSX 3 the sequel to SSX tricky. and its amazing

Advantages: large range of tracks and characters aswell as vast gameplay and graphics
Disadvantages: very complex-does it ever finish???

.... Winning any of these events gives you cash and medals. Up until now ive held in the best bit of all but now i will reveal it! Now on SSX 3 in between races you board around searching for challenges money and lots mroe aswell as boarding where ever you want - to the shops to races to anywhere- and when you want -during a race you can quit to the slopes after a race before a race!! This probably doesnt sound amazing but really when you consider SSX tricky and then look it this you think to yourself "WOW thats is brilliant and so complex." The only real con i can think of is peraps to a younger audience of say 6 years old they perhaps would be very much challenged by this game and would certainly not be able to complete it, but other than that everything else is amazing! So i think from this review i can say: BUY IT...

Review of SSX 3 (PS2)

SSX: snowflake or slush?

Advantages: Great graphics (even now), great play, the adrenalin rush
Disadvantages: Freestyle events are boring and too short, can be fustrating

...SSX 3 has got to be the best snowboarding game out there, certainly better than the ones before it. Start at the top of the mountain, it will take at least 20 minutes to get to the bottom. Seamlessly. With no load times. Does this give you an example of quite how epic the game is?Several race and freestyle courses on each peak, customisable characters, and, best of all, free roaming. Start the game and you can do anything you want on Peak one. You'll progress, doing the events in one of two categories: Racing or Freestyle until you move up to Peak 2, and so on. You can also enter the lodge (on a track between courses) and buy equipment and fashion accessories with the prize money you've won. But the realy cream of this game is the racing. Controls are great, it's more about judgement, good steering and thumb flexing tham that awful...

SSX Blur

Advantages: Great control. Good graphics. Innovative soundtrack. Longevity.
Disadvantages: Fiendishly difficult. Less character customization than before.

...-trick training section available any time the game is paused. Pause the game using the + key and flick down to the Uber-trick section to access the Uber-training. This allows you to draw the shapes on screen and it tells you if you've been successful or not. The graphics are certainly on a par with the older PS2 versions and whizz along at breakneck speeds with no evidence of slow-down. Using boost, particularly on icy sections, really makes your character zoom and EA use a nice 'blurring motion' effect to enhance that feeling of speed. Maybe that's where the game gets its name from? The three peaks in the game (the latter two are unlocked at first until you start competing) are depicted beautifully and are quite often breath-taking. However, in SSX 3 there were a couple of race-tracks and freestyle events that wound their way through tight...

Review of SSX Blur (Wii)

It's tricky, it's tricky oh wait, no its ssx 3!

Advantages: The greatest snowboarding game to ever hit the shelves!
Disadvantages: Ruins your social life!

...SSX means snowboarding super cross or something like that. Anyway this game is about snowboarding, as were ssx and ssx tricky. The first game, ssx, was mainly based on a racing theme untill ssx tricky incorporated a much more trick based idea. The main object of SSX 3 is to race, show off your tricks, collect stuff, complete challenges and beat your mates. In 'conquer the mountain' mode, you are trying to win medals in order to earn cash and ultimately imrove the character who you are playing and you can even by lots of accesories such as clothes, crazy heads which are skulls etc. but anyway the main point is to do your best in order unlock items, clothes, characters and higher peaks. In a race you will be against several computer controlled characters who will be fighting with you to take the gold medal. These people mean...

Review of SSX 3 (PS2)

Playstation 3

Advantages: Great graphics and choice of games
Disadvantages: expensive

...I got one last year for Christmas and found it to be better than my XBox 360 in almost every area, in my opinion this truly is the best games console on the market and would recommend it to anyone who is into their gaming. The graphics are phenomenal and the range of games available is tremendous! I find the controllers are much easier and more comfortable to use than the other consoles on the market today i.e. xbox 360s controller has no area for the hands to get a grip of and is quite frankly annoying especially when using after the playstation 3, the rechargable controller function is a tremendous help as i was always buying batteries and having the hassle of inserting them into the xbox and now i simply plug into the playstation console and the charges up no problem, i can even use the controller while its charging! i would...
