| | | I've never really been into board sports, winter sports, or EA Sports for that matter, but somehow this game directly stimulates something passing for a pleasure center in my dumb brain. Mash buttons and levers while falling down a stupidly steep frozen mountain and the game lavishes wild audios and videos upon you. I've read that the early games in the series--rather than this last, reboot one--are funkier, more arcadey, more beloved, but I tried SSX Tricky for instance and felt nothing. So it's something kinda particular to whatever it is EA Canada did here and I'm glad they did and that an old podcast I happened to listen to 12 years later mentioned liking it.
The game is sub-$10 used on eBay, and still on PS3 PSN for $20, along with a couple DLC things: I skipped the retro characters pack but got the free whatsit and the paid one that adds another mountain or something.
Runs good for me in RPCS3 with a few tweaks:
- Configuration - Audio - Enable Time Stretching: checking this box fixed music stuttering
- Manage - Game Patches - 1280x720 Resolution, 60 FPS: enabled 'em, definitely smoother with the 60fps--and the game's default resolution is apparently 1120x584 ; D |

Most fun I've had falling down a mountain! ^ _^
At one point I momentarily ground on my own in-flight helicopter. ; D
Deleted a run at 32:35 due to a restrictive music copyright claim on "Scorpions" by Nero. |
