100It has great competitive factions, a large line-up of diverse skaters, and some of the most mind-blowing, thumb-numbing, breathtaking tricks yet seen on a console snowboarding game.
-
Wonderfully addictive. [Dec 2001, p.168]
-
The audio is great and worth listen with a Dolby pro-logic receiver, and the graphics, while flawed are truly of next-generation quality.
-
90The sequel doesnt stray far from the original, but SSX Tricky has far more personality and the ultimate tricks wiredrewarding gameplay and a high replay value.
-
88For future releases in this series, itd be nice if there were more customization options and musical selections but those are minor gripes to what was, generally, a favorable experience.
-
88The gameplay is hectic, the new trick system adds substantial depth, and the overall production is top-notch...But if you have a choice, the PS2 version is recommended.
-
Put simply, this is certainly worth giving a go if youre looking for some high-speed thrills, death-defying leaps and gorgeous eye candy.
-
88One of those games that you switch on intending to have a quick blast, then find yourself staring square-eyed at in the early hours.
-
85I am truly amazed at how well the GameCube controller performs with SSX Tricky.
-
Its a great game, but it lacks the bells and whistles within the founding PS2 release. [Feb 2002, p.87]
-
My first and only gripe about the game is the learning curve on the game's controls.
-
85Even if you've played the original, SSX Tricky is a fantastic game of fast paced action and tons of surprises.
-
84With all this brilliance, it would be easy to overlook the sound in the game, but this is one of the high points of the makeover.
-
The Gamecube version of SSX Tricky manages to retain the most important quality of the PS2 version - the fun - despite having a few flaws. This is a very good game, and while it's not quite as polished as the PS2, it's still worth the money for Gamecube owners.
-
82When comparing Tricky side-by-side with the GC and PS2, the PS2 wins hands down. It if obvious that this is a port from the PS2 to the GC and not the other way around.
-
80It takes mind-blowing environments and mixes them with realistically moving and sounding characters that create one of the best pseudo-realities ever.
-
A solid racer with highly addicting gameplay, a nice variety of modes, and enough hidden extras to keep even the most dedicated rider occupied all winter long.
-
79The control mechanics, still usable, have been sloppily adapted to GameCube's controller, which makes for a tricking environment that is not nearly intuitive as it is on Sony's console.
-
Lifespan is the main issue here, as everything else is in place. It took me a week to finish Race and Showoff mode with one character. There is loads left, though, so the potential for a long lasting game is there, it just really depends on whether or not you want to go through it all again and again.
-
The Gamecube controller butchers the game.

DaveB.10In some ways this game is still better than SSX3. They're both awesome, must-own games for any system!
