SSX is back, more DEADLY than ever!
SSX (2012)
Snowboarding games don’t come much better than SSX, and it has been this way for a long time now. Ever since the original SSX came out the reception of the open world, realistic and fast-paced game has been immense as EA Sports continue the series into 2012 with another revolutionary SSX game.
When it was announced that SSX would be released in 2012 under the same title of the first game created, it was assumed that it would be an instant reboot or even a copy of the original game itself. However, all these ideas were vanquished immediately as the whole entire SSX franchise has now been revolutionized and made more realistic than ever. The newest title brings together nine Deadly Descents where you control a selected character to combat the worst fears imaginable for a Snowboarder on the most dangerous and treacherous mountains on the world. Threats rain in from Trees, Cold and even go as far as Avalanche. And yes, there is an Avalanche survival mode…you will be running from one of man’s greatest threats alive with you in the thick of the action.
The control schemes have been revamped with the new game however veteran SSX players can easily switch back to the older controls with a simple click of a button making it a game for newer players and older ones as well. The mountains feature include: Alaska, Antarctica, Patagonia, The Alps, Africa, The Himalayas, Siberia, Rockies and also New Zealand. They have been recreated from images directly from NASA and coated/edited for gaming usage. The game also includes the increased use of Helicopters to travel the player instantaneously to a variety of mountain tops to prevent wait time. You will always be riding at any given time with the game also being entirely online as well.
In terms of the multiplayer, it makes up for the lack of Split Screen the former games has. You can enter into Global Events and take on everybody in the world in a variety of competitions that are public and also private as well. The flexibility is yours, and you are able to enter and leave whenever you want. As long as you lay down your best time or trick score, that number will be saved and also a recording of your performance so other players can play against you even when you’re not actually there. This revolutionary multiplayer options gives the player the freedom to race online or concentrate on getting gold on all 150+ drops around the world on Explore mode. Geotags have been added to the game: collectibles that you can find and place at random places on any drop of any mountain. These will be added to the online world so other players can search for them, and the longer your Geotag stays elusive to other players; the more points you will get to spend in-game.
SSX is available on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, and is definitely a definitive game in the SSX franchise. It brings older characters back along with new ones and places you at the helm of some of the most insane tricks, jumps and diverse mountain ranges ever seen in a game. Not only is SSX going to exceed expectations, it’s going to grow larger than ever before. So grab your board and ride the slopes of your dreams on: SSX Deadly Descents.
