| Snow boarding games have always been fun but now they evolved into serious entertainment. From the moment you load SSX3 it draws you in with its high quality graphics and seamless loading so before you know it your on the slopes. Game play is intuitive and after a very short learning curve you can be pulling off some amazing moves or just cruising down a seemingly endless slope. The game breaks down into a number of parts, you compete in various races or freestyle events gradually gaining extra earnings to spend on stats, boards, hat, backpacks etc.etc. Once your wallet reaches a certain thickness you can venture onto more and more difficult peaks with more experienced boarders to pit your wits against. Visually the game is second to none and some of the levels are just immense so if you fancy a complete top to bottom of the mountain then you can and you don't even notice where loads take place! Couple this with a cracking sound track that fades in and out at exactly the right time and the usual boarder banter then SSX 3 is unbeatable. It's one of those games that you have a quick go at 9pm and are still sitting there at 4 in the morning. EA are definitely on a charge and if they keep up this sort of momentum, world domination is only a snowboard away. Anyway stop reading this…….go out and buy it. 9.5 out of 10
