"SSX 3"

I've only recently started playing this after getting it for Chistmas (exams and no memory card space) and it's damn good. But why have they taken out certain elements? There used to be a trick book to run through, and there used to be different types of board you could get. Alpine for speed, freestyle for tricks, or the combination for a bit of both. Now you can't even buy new boards, only new graphics for the same board.

And I know this game will give me arthritis in later life.

Damn. I keep forgetting to get this - is one of the games I missed out 1st time around, along with Tenchu and a few others.
I now I know I won't even get it until, one day, I see it for a stupid price and get it then.

Anywho - I never used the alpine boards in SSX Tricky, they just plain sucked. Even when you want to go fast, you still need to do tricks to get boost and with the alpine boards you had to land on particular way.

I can't see why they diched the trick book, though.

There isn't exactly a trick book, but n the lodge, go to rider details, and then go to ubertrick setup. There you can see all the tricks, and demonstrated.

I know you can see the ubertricks, but that's nothing like the trick book of old. The trick book gave you a picture and a name, and you had to do it in an event. For example, it might say "1080 Stalemasky," and once you'd done it it would be ticked off. If you got them all you got something special, can't remember what.

And the alpine boards weren't that good, but it offered some variety among racers which isn't here now. Everyone uses the same board throughout, which means everyone is essentially the same. But actually, yesterday, I was doing the backcountry one on one race, and couldn't beat the fella. He was just too quick. And I found that if I didn't really bother with boost and just went for it, no tricks, then I got a faster time. And eventually beat him.

Another thing they've dropped is something from Tricky - the friendship element. It's just gone. Punching someone used to have a consequence, and your rating with them would go up or down, but now you can just floor them and no one seems to care.

That's wrong. If you punch someone in a race of one event, you'll see an exclamation mark moving on top of your rival.
Now s/he will try to punch you, so keep a distance. And if you punch them a second time in a row, they will become even more furious.

Yeah, constantly punch Griff and then you will see rivalry.

This game is great, my high scoresare:

2.4 million style Mile
1.8 million kick doubt
1.4 million R + B
1.66 million Happiness
1.5 million Ruthless
3.85 million perpendiculous
0.731 million Much 2 much

Then I am either 3rd or 4th on the other two half pipes.

They may seem lame, but that is because they are my online scores, not offline, so I got those scores without multipliers or bonuses.

Anyway, I finished maxing out the 10th character yesterday and puttign te ebst equipment on him.

Great game, if anyone else has it online post your name. Mine is EX Crazy

But the equipment doesn't improve the skill of the character, only the looks from what I can see.

And even with the exclamation mark function, it's still not the same level of interaction as with Tricky.

I know it doesn't improve them, just looks better.

For example, I have Zoe with devil wings and black trousers with stripe things, that is better than her in trousers and top.

I'm using Kaori right now, I have here all in blue wither blue butterfly wings on her back.

Great night for me tonight.

1st schizophrenia - 2.44 million
1st ruthless jan - 1.81 million
4th R + B - 1.66 million or somethinn like that
8th Happiness jam - 1.91 million

How'd you get that high?
