  • Summary: Drop in and conquer the massive, living mountain rife with ego-crushing challenges and gravity-bending thrills. SSX 3 returns with more slopes and all-new hazards to overcome including lightning storms, vertical drops, serpentine slopestyle courses and avalanches. Customize your rider's clothes, abilities, and moves. Pull off three levels of awesome "Uber tricks." Dominate the mountain, and then test your skills online. It's a long way down, so make sure you're ready for the challenge. Expand

  1. To say that EA Sports Big outdid themselves is an understatement. I’ve been playing this game regularly for two weeks, and I’m not even close to completion.

    While other snowboarding games run out of steam mid-shred, the SSX series continues to gain momentum. [Dec 2003, p.44]
  3. The game's 10 snowboarders are over the top, and the action is crazy fun. [Jan 2004, p.158]
  4. Given the constraints of the sport, SSX 3 does a great job of keeping the game as open as possible. If nothing else, the SSX series represents something of a benchmark for snowboarding games, a trend that continues with this instalment. No one title of this generation can claim obvious superiority. [Dec 2003, p.102]

    Even after the release of SSX On Tour, I still find myself going back to this for the love of adventure.

    I'm not really as huge gamer (unless you count the whole Zelda series), but I thought this game is extraordinary. It takes the whole snowboarding genre, turns it on it's head, and makes a great gaming experience. One of the best games I've ever played. The best game in the entire SSX series. Expand

    A nice game but not my style. I like the idea of racing snowboards but this game is more about finding shortcuts and doing stunt combinations than it is about racing. Expand
