SSX (PS2 Gameplay)
676SSX (PS2) - Character: Mac - Venue: Snowdream
Players may choose one of a number of riders, each with their own statistics and boarding style. A course is selected, and the player is given the option of racing down the course or participating in a competition to do tricks.
Each course is filled with ramps, rails, jumps, and other assorted objects. Performing tricks fills up the player's boost meter, which can then be used for additional acceleration, making tricks important even in a race. While some tricks do have origins in snowboarding, many of the more advanced tricks are not realistic to actual physics. This matters little in games of this style, as the larger and more extreme tricks count for the most points and are the most spectacular to execute. Players also have the option of practicing or exploring courses in "freeride" mode.
There are 8 characters but only 4 of which are available at the start (the others have to be unlocked through winning events). They are Mac, Elise, Moby, Kaori, Zoe, JP, Jurgen and Hiro.
