Summary: Received wrong product
Comment: Very unhappy. All records, including packing slip reflected SSX on Tour. When the box was opened Christmas Eve by my grandson, the game that was sent was SSX, not SSX on Tour. I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it was for me and how unhappy my grandson was!

Summary: Least it isn't Amp'd
Comment: I was a huge fan of SSX Tricky and SSX3, and this game continues to hold my interest in the series. The change to the controls was not hard to adjust too, and the learning curve wasn't very difficult either. The addition of ski's was , while innovative, largely cosmetic in-so-far as I can tell.

Summary: Addictive Like Crack
Comment: SSX is never fun alone but when you get a bunch of people together especially girls your always gonna end up burning up alot of clock time with this title.

Summary: The Fun of SSX On Tour
Comment: SSX On Tour is probably my favorite game, because i love sports, and this game is all about snowboarding. Also I snowboard in real life, and this game is so realistic, that I feel like i'm really riding the slopes. If you are a good gamer, you would know that this game is right for almost anyone.

Summary: Doesn'tlive up to the SSX name
Comment: To me, SSX is about busting all the sick tricks, then trying to beat the trick score. That is what On Tour is not. Major and Minor flaws are present everywhere:
1. No returning to characters to play as! Can'tplay as Mac, can't play as Griff, can't play as Kaori....
2. Boost bar fill up time. For example, in the SSX 3 Peak 3 Big Air track, a singular jump of any one of the 3 jumps would nab you a full boost bar. On On Tour, it usually takes 1 or 2 rounds (ROUNDS) for the boost bar to fill up, so I can't perform those mind-blowing monster tricks frequently.
3. Weather conditions. I know this is very minor, but I am a serious hardcore fan of SSX. In SSX 3, you can blow through the calm, windy forests of Peak 1 or the super-modern, neck-breaking, freezing cold of Peak 3.
4. Speed. Where is the speedometer? The motion blur maks the game feel weird. It is creating an illusion that you are going fast. Unfortunately, in the game, you don't feel fast. It doesn't even sound fast. One of the main ideas of SSX is to reach breakneck speeds while avoiding all the obstacles.
5. Camera angle. In SSX 3, when you perform Uber tricks, the camera stays behind you. In On Tour, when you perform monster tricks, the camera suddenly, moves to your left/right side, causing some problems while landing. It is quite difficult to see the ground....
6. Track design. Why all the different disciplines (racing, big air, half-pipe, slopestyle) are cramped into one track is beyond me. This causes some serious problem.s For example, in slopestyle, you see a half-pipe. You spend some time on the half-pipe only to find that you have 4min remaining. In the end, you do not manage to finish the comp. Scary.
I mean, in SSX 3, the race tracks were clearly race tracks, with some jumps thrown in your way to test your jump distance judgement. The slopestyle tracks certainly did not have half-pipes, sharp corners or long sections of the track where there aren't any rails or jumps.
The track design last time was cool. I remember jumping over 20m over nothing in a Peak 3 race track. I remember doing loops in the indoor pipe sections of the Peak 1 and 2 race tracks. I remember the last few jumps of the alternative route of the Peak 2 slopestyle track. I remember outrunning an avalanche in the backcountry of peak 1. Those were really sick. It is not like those puny but long jumps in all the SSX tracks these days.
7. Free-roaming: What happened to it? You could go around the mountain to different shops last time. That was the favourtie part of the last SSX. You could tear up the backcountry, the race tracks, slopestyle tracks, whichever.
8. Summit/ Peaks: There is only one mountain here.
When I am near the summit of the mountain of On Tour. At the summit of Peak 1 in SSX 3, I felt as though I was falling down a huge pit. It is really intense, snowboarding from the top of the mountain all the way to the bottom, especially the top, which will make you feel scared if you are not careful. I swear, I felt as though I was standing at the edge of heaven when I stood at the peaks of the mountains in SSX 3. Different mountains also means different weather conditions, which I really want....
Pros:
It is part of the SSX series.
Really,On Tour is not that bad. SSX 3 is better.
