SSX gameplay video trades boards for wing suits

A race that barely touches the ground

By Mike Jackson for computerandvideogames.com

One of the coolest new features in the new SSX is wing suits, which let players glide through the air over large distances.

That's what this new gameplay video demonstrates - a mad dash to the finish line in a race during which your feet barely touch the ground.

SSX is out on February 28 in US and March 2 in UK.

    I really enjoyed the demo of this, I bet the MP will be ace, but I wont buy it as I know I'll just be destroyed by the diehards that know every last detail of the shortcuts, special moves etc.
    I really wished that MP games nowadays let me compete with people my skill level, an over 35's option maybe?

    I played the demo last night & found it underwhelming:(
    It felt more like the xbox game Amped to me & it was quite easy. I only stacked once! But the worst part for me was that it didn't really feel like SSX, it was lacking that craziness of previous entries (if that makes sense!) & the dull, drab graphics made me wanna cry. Oh well

    I agree with the post above it did feel underwhelming and I got bored with the tricks there's no skill involved to pull them off :(

    I'm with you spandex........ to me this felt like a generic snowboard game with dumbed down aspects of previous SSX games tacked on. It seems that there has been so much emphasis placed on the creation of real world locations that the crazy fun of old has been left behind. I really wanted this to wow me and rekindle my desire to play SSX again however with the boring gameplay and easy tricks displayed in the demo, it hasn't really wetted my appetite.

    Some of the decisions of this game seems to be at odds with each other. Like they couldn't decide between really crazy or intense danger. I was interested in intense danger because we already had the really crazy, but i'll give this hybrid a shot. I still have to download the demo, but the tricks and colors look out of place and odds with the gliders and mountains. Though the mountain design does look really awesome and interesting.
