    Amazing game, if you still own a PS2 and want a cheap fun ride, pick this one up! You will love snowboarding and make you wish you lived in a place that had snow and mountains!

    Unrealistic, fast-paced action. I guess that's what people want. And it just so happens that i want the same thing. SSX is filled with nice courses, various modes, and it has a high replay value making it a game worth remembering.

    This is clearly the best snowboard game, the best game, and my favorite game for PS2. I love this game.

    Its great fun, not as realistic as "ESPN Winter X" but a great game nonetheless.

    I never thought in a million years that my most played PS2 title would be a snowboarding game, but to my surprise it pretty much was. SSX was truly a good game, the unrealistic aspect of it made the experience even more fun and to this day this is one of the better PS2 titles. The best part of the game was learning and performing new tricks, tied in with some sweet maps.

Even though I didn't own any of the predecessors, I've seen Tricky and SSX 3 and they are both worthy of the name and add some meaningful content.… Expand

    This game has long entertained me for hours long after the original "Phat" PS2 I got it with has long died. A pinnacle game in my childhood... I can't say anything more about how great this game is.

    This was a quality game when it first released. Used to play this with friends back in the day. If you own a PS2 and you like snow boarding then this is a no brainer.

    Took snowboarding games like 1080 and added a little crack to it to create this crazy game.

    One of my first PS2 games I had, not an easy game but hours of fun. Graphics were good for its time and loved the banter between the snowboarders.

    SSX is indeed BIG (thank you very much!), and one of the few games on PlayStation 2 worth its asking price in addictive, fun replayability.

    A surprise hit that contains a massive amount of depth (more apparent upon further exploration) and is a blast to play.

    One of the best games ever thanks to its gameplay, it also happens to be visually stunning, with beautifully designed 3D polygonal characters, all animated exquisitely with very few (if any) perceptible glitches in the modelling.
