id say buy it because its a skiing game but here are some pros/ cons

pros: slow spinning
long runs
the fact that you are skiing
cool pipe

cons: they really slacked with the whole rewards thing
grinding is too easy
cant techincally go corked


overall its a good game but try to get it used

u don't really need to ask if it's worth it, it only cost $30, i liked it thoguh, it has all real twin - tips (except one) and you can do some pretty stylish things, the things i don't like is their r no grind buttons you just jump on the rail (makes it a lil challenging to grind) and their r some move that r a little extreme and extremely fake... i prefer realistic...

the switch carving looks good.

buy it so they see an interest in skiing and maybe someone else will see that and make a better game

I liked it for the freeriding and some of the mission stuff was cool but it just got to a point where unrealistic stuff won the game

Thats pretty much the same way i feel about it. Of course, your going to get pissed when you see the "Monster" tricks where you can pull off your ski, but thats what SSX is known for. The cool thing about the game is the sponsorships, as well as real life skis, both racing and trick. All in all, it is a very good start as a skiing game with alot of potential.

I thought it was really dumb acctually. The only way to score well is take your ski off and do a handstand on it while sliding a 300 foot rail then do a triple backlip with your ski wrapped around your neck then ski it out clean

I enjoy it, me and my buddy just do freeride for the hell of it mostly though, we are also the only people who ski in it.


As a game in general, ssx3 was better

It's so cheap now that i say why not, in some places its like 20$. The only bad things about this game is that you cant do corks, lincoln etc. and it gets kinda boring pretty fast.
