I have a dark secret to admit when it comes to this game, something that fans of SSX might not forgive me for.........SSX3 is a better game than SSX Tricky.

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.
