SSX
Xbox 360 version
Simply the best snowboarding game on today's market.
The Good
-Beautiful graphics
-Amazing physics engine
-Incredible recreations of famous mountains
-Somewhat decent soundtrack
-Custom soundtrack support
-Very engaging World Tour mode
The Bad
-Missing a few features from previous SSX games
-The physics engine can sometimes get wonky
-The loading screen has a small tendency to freeze up
-The pause menu can sometimes get glitchy
-Online play is not what I expected from an EA Sports game
The Bottom Line
While not quite perfect, this is still hands-down the best snowboarding videogame I've ever played, and this baby will most likely keep you fully entertained while EA hopefully develops a new SSX title for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. I don't see why they wouldn't want to do so.
So if you're a hardcore snowboarding fan and just don't have the dough to get a lift ticket at your local resort, just play Deadly Descents and you'll be one happy camper, probably to the point where you'll strap on your snowboard and try to perform a Super Uber Trick off your couch.
