SSX review  4.5 out of 5   Great gameplay, easy to pick up and
play, looks good   Confusing menus  Of all the games we played
on the PS2, it was SSX and SSX Tricky that swallowed up the most
hours. We would pour away time flipping, grabbing and grinding
in some of the best-designed tracks ever witnessed in a video
game.  But SSX got tired. Like Tony Hawk, it became a franchise
that fell foul of the over-saturation of the genre. In the end,
no one wanted to play snowboarding games anymore and SSX itself
began to become stale and uninventive.  A few years' rest,
however, and SSX is back -  touting a redesign, updated graphics
and enough tracks to make even the most hardcore of snowboarders
eat yellow snow. But does this racer cut the mustard? Or is it a
blind-folded black run down to the bottom?  Favourites updated
From the start it becomes immediately clear that SSX hasn’t lost
any of its slightly over-the-top charms found in the first two.
The opening movie and initial training sequences are just as
ridiculo
