SSX is back again!

I've always been a fan of the SSX series ever since I first got a PS2. I remember when my brother, dad and I would play the original SSX demo for hours. We loved the game and we actually went out to buy it but were advised to get the newer game in the series, SSX Tricky. We became addicted to this brilliant snow boarding game because of its colourful characters, amazing tricks and awesome tracks. SSX Tricky was definitely one of my favourite PS2 games of all time.

Since then we have played the original SSX and bought SSX3 but neither were as good as Tricky. We stopped buying the games when skiing was introduced and the games started to receive some pretty bad reviews. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard SSX was coming back on the PS3 and it has gone back to its routes.

The game looks good but it doesn't seem to be as crazy as the old ones. I watched an interview with one of the developers and he said they wanted to make the game crazier and more fun. I still don't understand why they want to make the game crazier but still want it to be realistic. The best thing about Tricky was how insane it was, so I don't understand why they insist on making the series more realistic. They don't have a track like Tokyo Megaplex any more!

Eventhough the game doesn't have the same style as Tricky it still looks quite good. It looks visually amazing and online play should be good. I'm still excited and I want to get the game quite soon. I'll tell you about if I play it!

Do you like the look of the new SSX? Have you played it? Do you like it or hate it? Leave a comment if you want!
