PS2 Underrated Gem: SSX On Tour

This brings so much nostalgia. The music from this game, the snowboard sounds, the other people talking. Everything about this game is a masterpiece. I still play it from time to time in 2022 almost 2023. I miss the EA BIG and EA sports era, when EA actually cared about their customers.

[@pedropablo76]

And people still think ssx 3 was better, r u kidding?

[@chaffXgrenade]

For me, SSX 3 is a mixed bag. It maintains some of the bright, colorful, "arcade" aesthetics from Tricky, but doesn't have the track variety to hold up to it. Moving from one track to another or the ski lodge in the little "hub" areas is kinda novel, but not really needed. And DJ Atomika's commentary isn't even REMOTELY on the same level as Rahzel's. :P It's just... okay. I mean, it's still a good game in its own right, but it's no Tricky/On Tour. Not by a long shot.

[@pedropablo76]

***** I agree i played all of them and for me on tour was the best, ssx3 was just meh.

[@chaffXgrenade]

Daniel Gatisco Tricky is still my personal favorite. On Tour is a close second. :)

[@Horenramon]

+Daniel Gatisco I think that ssx on tour haters becauseo of the skis but i love the game

[@CryptoJordanVR]

The GameCube version of SSX on Tour gives you three additional characters to play as. Those characters are Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach. Now "that" is a plus!

[@mackentosh2]

Loved this game so much

[@p4n1k49]

This game is up there with THPS2 for my favorite sports games. The sense of scale and speed in this version dwarfs the previous games in the series in my opinion, but SSX3 was still bloody amazing.

[@chaffXgrenade]

I've probably spent more time with this one than the previous SSX games, but Tricky is always gonna be my favorite. The insane track design, awesome characters, sick soundtrack, and that general "arcade" feel to it. On Tour, to me, felt like a more focused version of the sort of "career mode" that SSX3 seemed to be going for. It's kinda hard to explain.

[@p4n1k49]

***** Ya I agree with you there, it was quite linear compared to the rest of the games in the series. Tricky is also a favorite of mine but I can barely remember it compared to On Tour. I would love to see a new SSX game from EA if they brought back the same arcade action and over the top tracks. I miss when EA actually published decent new titles. 2001-2006 was the best.

[@chaffXgrenade]

I could certainly go for a new "classic" SSX. I still haven't played that most recent one yet, but I have seen gameplay--it looks okay, but... ehhhh. I think Tricky, 3, and On Tour are enough for me, for the time being. Man, EA used to be on point back in the day. I popped in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 for old time's sake the other day. *Still* a fantastic game. I can easily say I enjoyed it more than Criterion's reboot back in 2010.

[@fingamer9770]

Ok this is my opinion but i like on tour more than ssx3 ok opinion

[@p4n1k49]

FinGamer Good for you. If you want to add any points about why you feel whichever one is "better" feel free to do so.

[@HeroesGetKilled]

The best PS2 game I played, hauled so much ass in this.

[@lazylasagna5596]

Reading the comments, people say SSX 3 is better. SSX certainly is more sophisticated and less rock and roll-ish. I personally like SSX ON TOUR better, it speaks my language. (now we're getting cheesy.) I love rock and roll, video games, humor, and drawing. There is fact some humor and even your first clothing reward it a lamp shade, guess the player is ugly or it's that lamp joke. The music in my opinion is better than SSX 3 and I just have that awesome feeling playing this, like I'm a somebody, on SSX 3 it feels like you HAVE to do it, and you don't really want to. SSX 3 has lots more tricks and cooler looking characters, but those are just the minor details. SSX ON TOUR may have those childish scribbles to an average middle schooler's drawing, it's like EA sports had children actually asked their sons what they should put in a game, I think it appeal to kids and teens, and maybe even adults, but I'd think adults would prefer SSX 3. I actually PLAYED and COMPLETED SSX 3 first and in my opinion its easier than SSX ON TOUR. Honestly, I'm trying not to sugarcoat but I like SXX ON TOUR more, even though I rage a lot when I fall on my damn face when I fail a monster trick because that dumb tree was there.

[@lazylasagna5596]

***** yep, the game was perfect for me.

[@chaffXgrenade]

@Fifthmuskateer If you don't like rock music/style, then I guess that's just your taste in music (to each his own, I guess), but the only real differences here in terms of gameplay is using the right analog stick to do Monster Tricks, and the skiing controls more or less the same as the boards; other than that, it plays the same as all the other SSX games. Just out of curiosity, have you actually played On Tour?
