| Making its debut on Nintendo's fabulous Gamecube, Snowboard Supercross Tricky blends Electronic Arts' winning sports simulation know-how with unbridled arcade action to deliver a knockout representation of extreme snowboarding. In the world of SSX those stunts are crucial to success |
By completing outlandish, death defying moves it's possible to pump up a boost meter, which can then result in some seriously white-knuckle, high-speed racing. What's more, a player's on-screen character actually improves with practice, so the choice of stunts and their complexity actually shapes his or her 'personality'. With the control system ensuring the stunt work doesn't get in the way of the racing, the two game elements combine beautifully, while extra 'uber tricks', signature moves, and the like add further depth to the gameplay. Even the tracks in this game go way beyond the norm, with massive courses packing all kinds of diversions, shortcuts and hair-raising sections. And how players treat their opponents is also plays a role, with other riders reacting to aggressive moves and even holding long term grudges! | With the whole experience topped off with high-speed visuals, ace animation, celebrity voice samples, and a rocking soundtrack, this has got to be the best extreme sports game to date |
