I think Shaun Palmer's is very under-rated, but SSX is still better, just about. Hands on buzzers, er... NOW!
After playing both of these titles, I though SSX Tricky was the better title - but it was close. Granted, there is a more realistic approach taken by Shaun Palmer, but that isn't necessarily a good thing.
What I found with SP was fairly lacklustre gameplay... I know the moves are there, and it is, more or less, THPS3 on Snow, but with the multi-player especially it just seems to dull.
On the other hand, the game's realism didn't go unmerited. The physics were better, and you could do what a snowboarder could do no moe no less... perfect for people who like that... kinda, maybe... you know.
Personally I like SSX Better, it's quick, flashy, easy to learn - hard to master, there are loads of routes and pathways, and the Uber tricks are totally radical... I mean err... cool. I think it's more suited to the PS2 range of pick up and play titles. Shaun Palmer belongs on X-Box - with the other realistic titles like Project Gotham and Amped.
It's probably all down to preferance, but the whole 'funky' idea of SSX Tricky seems much more appealing. I mean, we're talking about snowboarding here... not Indoor Bowls, or Lawn Darts... it's supposed to be cool, and hip! If shaun Palmer was a bit brighter with a bit more flare, it'd be great, but it isn't.
I'd recommend SSX Tricky, it's just more fun to play... the multi-player rules, and the tricks are wicked!

I said exactly that about SSX. Until I became good at it, then it rocked. Tricky is very unrewarding for beginners, and as they say, practice makes perfect, and in this case, the game becomes much more of a fun experience.

I think that SSX tricky is really good cos i've played the demo of SSX snowboarding and thats really good cos people are saying that its just the same as tricky but doesn't have as many tracks so if its better than SSX snowboarding then I mite get it.
SSX tricky looks loads better than another tony hawks or shaun whats his face.
