Key Game Features
-----------------
* Conquer the Planet - From the Alps to the Andes, the Himalayas
to the Rockies, ride some of the most iconic ains in the
world. Developed using real-world NASA topographical data and
SSX's own proprietary ain Man tool, every region delivers an
exaggerated gameplay experience that is true to the rich history
of the franchise.
* Race It - SSX goes way beyond your typical racing experience.
With wide-open terrain, multiple elevations and starting points,
and no invisible walls, it's up to your skills and imagination to
discover the fastest line down the ain.
* Trick It - Defy the laws of gravity by pulling off tricks that
would make even the world's greatest snowboarders cringe.
Nevermind a 1260° Double McTwist - in SSX, you're still a
beginner if you still have both feet strapped to the board while
spinning 200 feet in the air.
* Survive It - Escape avalanches, rock slides, freezing cold
temperatures, and more as you take Mother Nature head-on in hope
of surviving some of the most treacherous descents on earth.
* Explore - Explore every drop in the massive world of SSX. Set
your fastest time on Race Drops, post your highest score in Trick
Drops, and descend as far down the ain as you can in
Survival Drops. Instead of a traditional leaderboard showing
friends' times to beat, ghosts of your friends' runs are visible
in your world showing you exactly how they performed. Challenge
your friends' ghosts or let your ghost chalk up wins and losses
as you dominate your way to the top of your friend leaderboards.
* Global Events - Compete at every drop point in the SSX
universe. Compete in live events against real people in real-time
on every drop in the game. An event can last for a single run,
hours, or even days and can support up to 100,000 participants,
with your friends and closest competitors phasing in and out of
your immediate surroundings at all times. Post a time and move up
or down the leaderboard even if you quit out and turn off your
console.
* RiderNet - Inspired by the incredible Autolog engine that
powered NFSHP, RiderNet will guide you through the incredible
world of SSX by allowing you to 'like' your favorite drops,
recommending new drops and friends, guiding you to where your
friends are, or drops that their ghosts are dominating, and
directing you to the biggest and best global events for your
level.
* Legendary Characters and All-new Icons - Favorite fan-selected
characters, including Elise, Kaori and Mac make their return,
joining new faces on the slopes.
* Every Moment is a Rush - A revolutionary physics engine pushes
the boundaries and defies the laws of reality, allowing you to
ride and trick off anything, unrestricted by invisible walls and
barriers.
