IвЂ™ve seen people make the case that, for a game in which youвЂ™re constantly tearing downhill, free roam does nothing but add busywork.

A huge, continuous mountain full of events and characters.ДЇor many, itвЂ™s this transition to a seamless open mountain that began the seriesвЂ™ perceived decline. I wouldnвЂ™t go as far as to call it understated (youвЂ™re still catapulting yourself 80ft into the air and pulling off impossible moves) but SSX 3 cares so much more about being inviting than being cool.ДЇor a start, SSX 3 trades the over-the-top courses of Tricky for a cohesive, connected game world. SSX On TourвЂ™s grunge/punk aesthetic wants to impress you like a kid scratching a вЂcool SвЂ™ into a school desk, but SSX 3 could almost be described as neutral by comparison.

See, SSX 3 doesnвЂ™t have an ego in the way that other games in the series do. If SSX Tricky is a party with the cool kids that youвЂ™ve been lucky enough to get invited to, SSX 3 is a party thatвЂ™s been going on for a while and that everyone is psyched to see youвЂ™ve arrived at. This is for good reason: experientially, they might as well be completely unrelated games. The two sibling games might play almost the same but there is generally a divide between people who love SSX Tricky and people who love SSX 3. Compared to SSX Tricky, itвЂ™s not as saturated, not as focused. Tricky wants you to think itвЂ™s cool, and it lands that ambition with an all killer no filler approach. Tricky went for maximum flamboyance all of the time, with a wild cast of characters propelling themselves through over-the-top courses as the same sample of Run-D.M.C. The most obvious example of this was how SSX Tricky followed up the original gameвЂ™s grit and garage music with a vibrant and energetic take on disco aesthetics. While the series mechanics mostly remain the same with each new iteration, the biggest changes tend to be stylistic. To some extent, this is true of all SSX games. More than anything, SSX 3 is about vibes. Okay, well, my point is that every SSX title since the 2000 original has involved barreling through the snow, catapulting into the air, and making shapes in the most stylish way possible.Д«ut I donвЂ™t care about snowboarding, so itвЂ™s lucky that snowboarding isnвЂ™t what SSX 3 is about, not really. Hell, SSX even stands for- вЂ¦hang on I think I actually need to Google this. That last bit should be obvious, though, right? SSX is about snowboarding, itвЂ™s the mechanical throughline for the whole series. Everyone is thrilled for you to be here.Do whatever is interesting to you at whatever pace you want.Within these first 30 seconds SSX 3 has made two things abundantly clear: вЂњMust be pretty nice вЂ“ doing what you want, going where you please.вЂќ He remarks after pointing out that events might take a while to begin if you and the others decide to stop off at the lodge or go explore the mountain for a bit. He just got word that the SSX competitors have started to arrive and that means things are about to get exciting. ThatвЂ™s DJ Atomika вЂ“ the actor for which, Mark Hildreth was part of NXIVM, which has made me less fond of him over time вЂ“ heвЂ™s your вЂњeyes and earsвЂќ for the SSX event.

A voice cuts through the motivating electronica playing in the background вЂњyouвЂ™re listening to EA Radio BIG.вЂќ The sky is blue, the snow is crisp white вЂ“ even 18 years later, SSX 3 still feels amazing to just exist in. It hovers above a powdery slope and whoever youвЂ™ve selected from the gameвЂ™s colorful cast drops down into it. SSX 3 opens by following a helicopter as it courses between the peaks of a snowy mountain.
