Players can discover the open mountain in the newest version of the smash-hit SSX snowboarding franchise. SSX 3 allows gamers to go anywhere gravity will take them. Players will discover a colossal mountain where they can immerse themselves in a free-roaming snow paradise. The ultimate all-mountain experience, SSX 3 features all-new events and courses, awe-inspiring tricks and a cast of cool, customisable characters. Discover the open terrain, explore its hidden crevices, and conquer its peaks. Produced under the EA SPORTS BIG brand, the SSX 3 development team at EA Canada is adding technologies that bring to life rich natural graphics such as snow that sparkles and blows in the wind and realistic character shadowing. A new gameplay experience allows users to seamlessly ride from one awesome area to the next- entering competitions, taking on Big Challenges and discovering hidden collectibles. SSX 3 has blown out the trick component with unlimited combos and new, over-the-top tricks. In addition to the new boarding venues, Big Challenges rewards players for completing any of the more than 100 unique challenges as they explore the mountain's vast world. Grind billboards, board press logs, even hand plant the fence line.

This game is a great example of how open-world gameplay can enhance a game. Unlike most open-world games where it's just a bunch of stuff around, SSX3's tracks are designed in a way in which the extra stuff is addition, as opposed to the main course.
Another good thing about SSX3 is that it retains the feel of the SSX series. Tricky is known for being a light-hearted affair. While this game is a little more serious, the spirit of competition definitely lives on.
The only downgrade when compared to Tricky is the removal of unique stats and only 1 type of board. It makes characters lose their identity as unique characters. This isn't the worst idea since stats are most customable than in Tricky, but it does degrade the character's uniqueness.
In short, SSX3 is one of the best games of the sixth-generation of consoles and is a must play for both sports fans and general audiences.
