Unfortunately, they can also grate on your nerves. The music is a series of looped tracks mixed by the likes of Beastie Boy DJ, Mix Master Mike and Rahzel of The Roots. The downside is that with such long racing tracks, the music repeats itself early and often. EA Canada wisely included the option to turn it off, but more varied musical tracks would have been a much better alternative. My final gripes are not that major, but still noticeable.
Load times are also an issue.
I spent too much time waiting, whether it's waiting to go through menus or for each level to load and reload. When it's all said and done, SSX is a great title for PlayStation2 fans to build a gaming library around. It delivers in almost every department, and though it doesn t provide any sort of breakthrough experience, it is an all-around solid title. N G First off, let me say that SSX isn't exactly the killer-app that everyone makes it out to be. At first, I too was blown away by the visuals, but I didn't initially see what was so great about the gameplay.
