Elise, Eddie and 10 other shredding stars from the GCN hit get sleek and small in this to-go Pak.

You can run a single race on any of the eight courses, or venture onto the World Circuit. Here you can brandish off your bag o' tricks (showoff style) or just speed down the mountain (race style). Compared to their wild and wacky GCN counterparts, the courses here are straightforward.

SSX Tricky offers screen text in English, French or German. A handy tutorial takes you through the basic tricks.

Big hair and big air baby!



EA Sports' SSX Tricky is truly a big-air affair, with insane circus-style stunts, near-vertical drops and no-holds-barred snowboarding action.

SSX Tricky is a sequel to the successful SSX game which originally appeared on Play Station 2. Now that the series is graduating to Nintendo GameCube, the action is more intense than ever before. Despite responsive and realistic play control, SSX Tricky thumbs its nose at reality and allows gamers to link together impossibly insane tricks over stomach-dropping gaps.

Tricky features 12 ultra-hip riders -- six all-new boarders and six seasoned vets from the original game. Pick your favorite rider then tackle one of the game's three modes: World Circuit, Show-Off (trick), and Free Ride. The Nintendo GameCube version of SSX Tricky plays great, with a lightning-fast framerate and a slammin' soundtrack produced by the nimble fingers of Mix Master Mike and other real-world wax warriors.

SSX Tricky is available now. Check out the links in the upper-right corner of this page for screen shots and videos.

Game progress is saved to a Nintendo GameCube Memory Card 59 (five blocks are required to save, more for replays).

Zurück in der SSX-Welt - ein Jahr später. Auf dem SSX World Circuit hat sich in diesem Jahr viel verändert. Viele Schauplätze wird man wieder- erkennen, aber die Entwickler der Rennstrecke haben während der Nebensaison Tag und Nacht gearbeitet, um völlig neuartige und wahnsinnige Tricks in den Kurs einzuarbeiten, so dass bei den Rennen der beliebte "Showoff-Modus" eingesetzt werden kann.

Außerdem haben Pistenspezialisten eine Vielzahl neuer Strecken und Abkürzungen sowie zwei völlig neue Stopps in den SSX World Circuit integriert. Neue Pisten, Umgebungen und Konfigurationen ermöglichen den Teilnehmern, ihre Trickkisten aufzufüllen, und bringen eine Auswahl neuer "Uber"-Tricks, die sowohl auf dem einzigartigen Showoff-Kurs als auch auf dem Circuit erscheinen. Im ersten Jahr erschien SSX ausschließlich für PlayStation 2. SSX Tricky dagegen erscheint sowohl für Sony Playstation 2, als auch für Nintendo GAMECUBE und Xbox, das Videospielsystem von Microsoft.

Features:


• Die Grafik von PlayStation 2, Xbox und Gamecube ermöglicht es dem Spieler, zahlreiche visuelle Verbesserungen vorzunehmen und einzigartige filmähnliche Spielmomente zu erleben.
• Neue Rennstrecken: mit "Garibaldi" und "Valdez" werden die herausforderndsten Strecken aller Zeiten geboten.
• Sechs neue Charaktere sowie sechs von acht bereits bekannten Boardern aus SSX bestreiten den Circuit.
• Die Figuren erwachen zum Leben! Bekannte Sprecher leihen den Boardern ihre Stimmen. Verbesserte Gesichtsanimationen, digitale Tagebücher und ausführliche Hintergrundinfos zu jedem Boarder des World Circuit. Die Boarder können ihre eigenen Vorstellungen und Rennstile einbringen und spielen auf dem Circuit eine Schlüsselrolle.
• Neuartige "Uber"-Tricks, mit Luftsprung-Tricks in den nächsten Level.
• Einzigartige Showoff-Versionen der neun Strecken des World Circuit.
• Verbesserte KI der gegnerischen Boarder machen jedes Rennen zum harten Kampf, und das Ende bleibt immer offen.
• Boarder-Fahrphysik der 2. Generation ermöglicht bessere Steuerung in der Luft und auf der Piste.
• 60 Frames pro Sekunde für alle Modi. Auch im atemberaubenden Breitbildformat.
• Neuer Soundtrack im Spiel als interaktive und clevere Begleitung zum Gameplay. Musik und Soundeffekte im Spiel für aufregende Momente - vorher, währenddessen und nachher.
• Umfangreiches Bonusmaterial inklusive einem "Making of" und Hintergrundberichten auf der DVD
• Unterstützt Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio.

Hit that jump hard!! All the sky is your stage!!!



Grab your board and take on the slopes of SSX as you've never seen them before. Two brand-new runs, six never-before-seen riders, and tons of original tricks, shortcuts, and jumps make SSX Tricky the ultimate snowboarding experience. If you think you've mastered every trick in the book, think again.

With voices supplied by Hollywood celebrities, the SSX Tricky riders come to life on the snow-covered icy mountain courses. Establish friendships, create rivalries, and show off your high-flying skills in three different types of races, and when you're ready to catch real air, reach into your bag and bust out one of the new crazy Uber Tricks. What are you waiting for? Grab that board and get Tricky!

FEATURES


• All new “Garibaldi” and “Valdez” courses. Garibaldi, located in British Colombia, Canada, appears as a instantly fun “big air” first course, but in reality has even more replay-ability than any of the courses in the original SSX. Set in the Wilds of Alaska, Valdez features near vertical sections of snow that link the multitude of huge cliff drops on what promises to be the scariest, “edge-of- your-board” course yet.
  
  
• The characters are coming to life! Celebrity voice talent for riders including the famed voices of Grammy winner Macy Gray, Lucy Lui (Charlies Angels, Ally McBeal), and David Arquette (Ready To Rumble, Scream), among others. Expanded facial animation and digital diaries for each rider on the World Circuit, as well as detailed background information on each. Riders bring their own attitude and riding style to the table and play a key role on the Circuit.
  
  
• Six all new competitors, as well as six of the eight riders from SSX, make up the circuit. Two of the stars of SSX (Jurgen and Hiro) are sitting out the upcoming season due to serious injuries sustained during the off-season (details to follow in-game).
  
  
• New “Uber” tricks, take airborne tricks to the next level.

Picking up where the first SSX left off, SSX Tricky takes free-wheeling snowboarding action to new levels of intensity. Not only does the game include the full range of spectacular courses from the first SSX game, but there are now two brand new white-knuckle runs to test your skills to the max. You'll also come face to face with some amazing new jumps, trails that suddenly divide into two, and terrifying slopes made of pure ice! All this to the sound of some pumping mixes by the likes of Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys and The Plump DJs.
