The SSX team has spent almost two years working to improve the core experience by adding loads of new experiences and ways to play. Buckle up your bindings as a returning veteran or keen new rookie. Get ready to take on other riders-and the biggest challenge yet-the Mountain itself.

Master the Challenges on all three peaks in your quest to conquer the Mountain… and make it your own.

2. Characters: Four new rivals join six returning characters. Mac, Elise, Zoe, Moby, Psymon, and Kaori are back, and they're joined by the crazy Swede Viggo, mountain man Nate, 12 year-old phenom Griff, and the talented and sexy Allegra.

3. Rich, Natural Graphics: SSX3 boasts amazing graphics that show details like incredibly realistic shadows and snow that sparkles, reflects light, and even blows in the wind. These are just some of the rich environmental details created by an OSCAR® nominated Hollywood visual effects designer. The amazing visuals work together to totally immerse the user in the SSX 3 world.

4. More Tricks: The tricks are completely blown out in SSX3. There is a collection of new Uber Tricks where users can combo and hold. Not only will SSX3 have the addition of specific Uber tricks on rails, users will even be able to perform hand plants. With the new board press tricks, gamers can extend a combo string-forever!
