IGN: SSX Review

Jack DeVries: SSX is the video game this generation has been missing. The feeble attempts of other, lesser snowboarding games’ attempt to capture the adrenaline fueled excitement of SSX don’t compare at all. This is what happens when you don’t just put the game out every year, but spend your time crafting it, creating the ultimate experience. SSX redefines snowboarding games, raises the bar for the genre, then backflips over it.

Oh come on, you can't put less than a 9 for lasting appeal for an SSX game. Good to see that it's doing well though, I'll pick it up when I have the money.

EVILDEAD3605199d ago

I remember being absolutely wowed by the original all those years back when the PS2 launched.

It's great to see this reboot getting some critical acclaim. Too many games in my life to have time for it at gthe moment, but I'll definately pick this up sometime down the line.

Getting a high score on ign means something?

deep_fried_bum_cake5199d ago

Yes, it means the reviewer liked it enough to give it a high score.

multipayer5199d ago

Thus EA allows them to live...

Armyless5199d ago

I just preordered this on Toys R US website for $44.

Shield5199d ago

Awesome! I just pre-ordered, Thank you.

clrlite5199d ago

cool, it seems that they have some good deals. I got my 3DS from them for $140 a month or so ago. I'll have to see if they have any awesome deals on the Vita when I'm ready to buy one. I have to build a new PC first, which should kick ass anyway.

Linko645200d ago

Maybe if UFC 3 Didnt come out this year.

MySwordIsHeavenly5200d ago

Possibly. We still have The Show though. SSX will definitely be MOST FUN sports game of the year though. ;)

LOGICWINS5199d ago

Snowboarding is classified as an "extreme sport". MMA is just a "sport". The two sports shouldn't be compared..in real life or within the gaming medium.

As far as FUN is concerned, I had a slightly better time with SSX than UFC 3. Its rare that a demo makes me want to buy a game that wasn't even on my radar. Def getting SSX when it drops to $30 in a couple of months.

Simon_Brezhnev5199d ago

maybe true but they just want make an extreme sport category for this. LOL

Commander_TK5199d ago

What's gonna be different in that 1? New boots?

Outside_ofthe_Box5199d ago

I wouldn't be fast to say that. NBA 2K13 could take the cake.

clrlite5199d ago (Edited 5199d ago )

"I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone were to say UFC is nothing but a "who can hug the other man longer" sport now would you? "

I wouldn't care, as I have nothing invested in any of them.

I changed BS to stuff and hopefully people will know that this is only my opinion. I even made an effort to type "in my opinion" in there somewhere, but maybe I should have been more clear.

If you like NBA games that is fine. I'm just kind of tired of those types of games and that's why I think SSX is a breath of fresh air.

Btw, that first like was kind of a subtle joke directed at rampaged.

clrlite5199d ago (Edited 5199d ago )

Rampaged: Yeah, but I wouldn't even categorize this game with some of the other stuff people consider "sports" :D

Linko: Although (in my opinion) UFC is way more entertaining than BBall or american football, I wouldn't really make such a bold claim. They both easily trump Basketball and FootArmBall IMO.

@disagree go watch sports center.

Surely the same crap every year is more entertaining than the more obscure "sports" :P

Outside_ofthe_Box5199d ago (Edited 5199d ago )

Wow... strongly opinionated are we?... calling other "sports" you don't like BS...

I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone were to say UFC is nothing but a "who can hug the other man longer" sport now would you?

You should really respect all "sports" as all of them require hard work and dedication.

Good news to hear for me, however my wallet is crying. Excited to play SSX, Street Fighter X Tekken, Witcher 2 and Armored Core 5. What a great spring for gaming

LX-General-Kaos5200d ago

This is good. I was told by someone awhile back that this game would suck and they would get twisted metal over it. Nothing wrong with getting twisted metal, but this game obviously does not suck

rdgneoz35200d ago

Heh, go for the best of both worlds and get both. Got Twisted Metal and waiting for Amazon to ship it to my place come Tuesday. They're both fun in their own way.

MysticStrummer5199d ago

Ahhh yes... the gaming psychics who know well ahead of release how good or bad a game will be. Reminds me of people on here who just knew NeverDead was gonna be great! I picked up Twisted Metal on a whim and am very glad I did, but I'm also looking forward to SSX and keep playing the demo over and over, which is unusual for me.

Rainstorm815200d ago

Day 1 for me the Demo has me hooked

Reborn5200d ago

Exactly.

The trick runs are fun.

Rainstorm815200d ago (Edited 5200d ago )

I know me and some friends were competing fiercely...So far im at the top with 14.7 mil on the trick run.....Just cant wait til next week to get the full game

guitarded775200d ago

I played it one time just to see how awesome it was... now I'm holding out till I get my full retail version this coming Tuesday. Even from just one run, I could see it was everything an SSX game should be and prettier than ever.
