Gamecube SSX on Tour

4 stars (Good Overall) - Now before I start, I must state that I haven't played any previous SSX games so I can't compare this one to the others. The best thing I think about SSX: On Tour is the soundtrack, I love Red Flag, God Killed the Queen, Run for the Hills, and one other that I can't remember right now. All around its very good there.

Instead you get to create your own character, which was good and bad. The cool side is that you get to customize him or her to your heart's desire, the downside is that they are strangely silent. Your character will not taunt others or cheer when victorious, something you may take for granted in previous SSX games. Upon starting the "On Tour", the main mode of gameplay, I discovered the single greatest dissappointment that this game has: there is no freeriding around the mountain. One of my absolute favorite things about SSX3 was the ability to just cruise around the mountain, which gave the game a much more realistic feeling. If you wanted to participate in an event you could either take the lift or just take your time and board down to it. This fantastic feature is sadly absent from...
