SSX and SSX TRICKY or both better games. First of all, there is not too much actual snowboarding here. It focuses on incredibly lame combat, with weapons such as chains and baseball bats. The trick system is set up just like it is in Tony Hawk or Shaun Palmer, but that systme does not work well. It is unresponsive, and useless. Mission objectives in the levels are terrible as well, not to mention extremely frustrating. a little bit of fun can be had in the "Quick Race" mode, but it wears off quickly. Even if you already beat SSX TRICKY, do not buy.
