Product Details
A modern day reinvention of one of the most critically acclaimed arcade
franchises of all-time, EA Sports SSX will allow players to experience the
franchise's signature fun and adrenaline-packed gameplay across iconic mountain
ranges all over the world.
Redefining the SSX franchise, SSX will pit riders versus both mountain and man.
Players will explore the story of a team who seek to be the first to descend the
faces of the most treacherous mountain ranges on the planet. The team will
travel the world to face the worst that Mother Nature can throw at them.
From the peaks of the Himalayas, where the air is so thin that riders have to
descend through the death zone at breakneck speeds to keep from blacking out, to
the solid ice ranges of Antarctica, where a sunlit line is the only survival
option when temperatures drop 50 degrees centigrade in the shade.
And the mountain isn't the only danger players will face. In SSX the first goal
is to survive. The second, in true SSX fashion, is to look good doing it.
Using NASA topographical satellite data, we've mapped out a Massive World for
players to explore. Throughout nine expansive mountain ranges, SSX packs
reality-defying gameplay into every run letting players Race, Trick, and Survive
down huge open mountains. In addition, Explore, Global Events and RiderNet -
SSX's recommendation engine - headline an online feature set that will
revolutionize social competition for gamers, making it fun and easy to compete
with friends on your schedule.
Features
Conquer the planet's mountains: From Antarctica to Africa and the
Himalayas to the Alps, players will drop into nine of the most iconic mountains
ranges on planet earth. Using NASA topographical data and our proprietary
Mountain Man tool, each of these iconic mountain ranges have then been
exaggerated to deliver a gameplay experience that is true to SSX.
Race it: Way beyond your typical racing experience, SSX allows players to
race down huge open mountains with multiple elevations and no invisible walls to
hem the player in
Trick it: Defying the laws of reality, SSX will enable players to pull
off tricks that would make even the world's greatest snowboarders cringe. Forget
a 1260 Double Mctwist, in SSX if you still have both feet strapped to the board
while you're spinning 200 feet in the air then you're still a beginner. With a
refined trick system and levels designed to deliver trick opportunities at every
turn, filling your Tricky meter is a must.
Survive it: A new gameplay element inspired by big mountain snowboarding,
SSX asks players to survive some of the most treacherous descents on earth.
Challenged by the power of Mother Nature, players will have to survive
avalanches, white outs, freezing cold temperatures and much more, as they make
their way down these natural boss battles.
Advanced physics: Harnessing the power of the current generation of
consoles, SSX introduces a revolutionary physics engine that will allow players
to ride and trick off almost anything in the environment, unrestricted by
invisible walls and barriers
Upgradeable gear: From boards of varying speeds to wing suits that let
you glide for longer distances, upgrade your gear to ride faster, trick higher
and survive longer
Characters old and new: Favorite characters, as selected by the fans,
make their return to SSX along with new faces that will be joining the franchise
Explore: Explore every drop in the massive world of SSX. Set your fastest
time on Race Drops, post your highest score in Trick Drops, and descend as far
down the mountain as you can in Survival Drops.
