Game Info
I had heard lots of good stuff about this game.  I was bored at the mall so I went to FYE and bought SSX Tricky for 40 bucks.  I brought it home and plugged it in.  Then came up extreme tricks and flips.  It looked great.  Then I looked through the instruction booklet and found out it starred famous actors in it too.  Well, anyways here's the review as promised:

Gameplay:  A
-The tricks are pretty hard to figure out, so I had started out just pressing R on jumps.  The fast paced action was a lot of fun.  Then you get to push the other racers too I realized, and had a lot of fun with that.  The Tricky meter will be pretty hard to do at first, so you'll have to practice a lot.

Graphics:  A-
-They are pretty great for going down a hill very fast.  The frame rate will drop some of the time.  The characters look great though and so does the enviroments.  The trees and poles need work though.

Sound:  A+
-The nice snowboarding songs are great to listen to while you're flying down the mountain.  The snowboarding sounds sound real thankfully.  The voice acting is very professional and done by famous actors. 

Challenge: A+
-VERY hard to perfect your moves. This game will take you a long time to learn and perfect.  If your looking for a challenging sport, this is it.

Replay:  A
-Taking time to practice and all the world cups will take you awhile to get.  Then there's the extra riders, boards, and outfits!  This game will last you awhile. 

OVERALL:  A-    93%
"Fast-paced game with losts of fun stuff!"
