Besides the gear, you can also purchase new boards and clothing. While clothing won’t improve your characters’ stats, it will help them stand out a bit more. These colorful characters don’t need any help standing out, mind you, but it can be fun to add your own personal touch to their signature looks.

SSX has a killer soundtrack that stands up to previous soundtracks in the series; it might even be my favorite collection of tracks in a video game. There’s a great mix of dub step, rock, and hip-hop tracks that really impacted my mood as I rushed down a mountainside. I wish the game didn’t reset songs when you have to restart a run. There were crushing moments where a favorite song cycled through the mix and I had to reset the run, only to have a new song cycle start. There are a few annoying tracks, like “Scatta†from Skrillex, but the soundtrack is more hits than misses.

SSX is the video game this generation has been missing. The feeble attempts of other, lesser snowboarding games to capture the adrenaline fueled excitement of SSX don’t compare at all. This is what happens when you don’t just put the game out every year, but spend your time crafting it, creating the ultimate experience. SSX redefines snowboarding games, raises the bar for the genre, then backflips over it.

If you’re an SSX veteran who has been champing at the bit to get another dose of Run DMC styled snowboarding or a hardcore gamer who is up for a challenge, you’ll find a lot to love in SSX. The gameplay is fun, fresh, exciting and bloody tough. Newcomers, however, will find the switches in difficulty brutal and unforgiving. It doesn’t cater all that well to the casual enthusiast and will surely alienate those without fond franchise memories to sustain them.

It’s these ideas that give SSX its legs, and makes it worth trudging through the initial awkwardness of its other various experiments in how to make SSX appealing to kids these days. It’s the "everything to everyone" approach that sometimes threatens to derail this new SSX, but it’s the solidity of the core design—the same design that’s propelled this series for the better part of the last decade—that makes it absolutely worthwhile.

Whatever the reason it’s one of only a few missteps in what is otherwise one of the best reboots we’ve ever played. It understands the appeal and the tone of the original and doesn’t seek to change either, merely adapt them for the modern day and add plenty of new ideas of its own.

SSX is a wonderfully fun game. It successfully captures the spirit of the earliest games in the series but without feeling dated. This generation of consoles has suffered slightly from an understocked catalogue of games that revel in their over-the-top nature and SSX is a perfect remedy for that. If this is what happens when you rest a franchise for a few years then I am perfectly happy to forgive EA for those lean years they left us without a new sequel.

In addition to the regular asynchronous multiplayer mode, SSX features a mode called Global Events. Events run 24/7 and can have up to 100,000 people competing at the same time (though you’ll only ever see four others). Players can do an event over and over until the timer runs out, tweaking runs to get the highest score possible and improve their position and the amount of money they take home at the end. Keep in mind that you won’t collect any credits won in Global Events unless you have an online pass, which is packed in with new copies of the game.
