The GameCube version differs from other versions since there is an exclusive track called Nintendo Village, and Nintendo characters Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach are available as playable characters.

The PSP version also differs greatly from the main console versions, with limited customisation to custom-characters. It also has omitted the use of bonuses on the special "Monster Tricks".

Gameplay

The actual gameplay itself in SSX on Tour is similar to SSX3, with similar controls and the overall aims of events remaining the same - snowboard down a mountain whilst gaining points for various tricks that can be performed. After each trick, a player's "boost bar" builds up, and once full enables a player to perform special moves - known as "Monster Tricks" now, previously known as "Über tricks". SSX 3 is a snowboarding game published by Electronic Arts and developed by EA Sports BIG, which was released in late 2003. ...

Despite the similarities, numerous changes were made to the structure of races and events themselves. Players can now create their own characters, selecting his/her symbol, makeup, height, clothes and hair, in addition to whether they are a snowboarder or a skier (skiing being a new feature in the game). Once created, their 'boarder can compete in official competitions (known as "Events"), or unofficial challenges known as "Shreds". Each completed event or challenge gains their character "Hype", raising their profile and moving them up the SSX charts, with the ultimate goal of reaching number one.

With the focus now on custom-created characters, the original SSX cast is moved into the background slightly, appearing in various Shreds against the player, and available to play as when not on the Tour itself. In addition to seven returning SSX veterans, three new characters make an appearance: Tyson, Sid, and Skye. Some characters have to be unlocked to be used.

Unlike its predecessor, SSX3, no online play was included on any of the versions of SSX On Tour. The main focus was on improving the single-player storyline mode, implementing the character-creation system, the selection of new tracks, and the addition of skiing as well as snowboarding.

Style

This game is presented in the style of a sketch-book, a new direction for the SSX series. The cover artwork as well as the in-game menus are all shown in sketch formats, simplistic images often on a lined background. The special in game collectibles, displayed simply as snowflakes in previous SSX games, have been replaced with sketchlike doodles known as "skulvis", continuing the theme.

This style was continued to an extent on the actual races themselves, with the graphics smoothed down from SSX3, helping to improve frame rates and to keep the overall feel of the game as fresh as possible. New effects were also added, such as a blurring effect when racers reach a certain speed, similar to the effect used in Burnout 3, another game released by Electronic Arts. Burnout is a series of high-speed racing games for the Playstation 2, Xbox and Gamecube game consoles The game series was developed by Criterion Games and published by Acclaim and later EA Games. ... Electronic Arts (EA) (NASDAQ: ERTS) is an American developer, marketer, publisher, and distributor of computer and video games. ...

Critical Reception

SSX on Tour received positive reviews from critics on the whole. Gamespot gave it 8.7/10, noting that the game's style was "unlike anything the series has seen before", and that it "expertly balances the fresh and the familiar", and "creates an engrossing experience that will have fans falling for SSX all over again". In addition, Metacritic's review system has produced a rating of 81/100 for the game, based on a large number of critic's reviews.

Metacritic is a website that collates reviews of music albums, games, movies, TV shows, DVDs and books. ...

However, the game has its detractors. Some see it as being more geared towards newcomers to the series, and longer running fans of the series feel that they have been short-changed with the exclusion of what made SSX games stand out from other snowboarding titles, such as being able to play the campaign mode ("The Tour" in this game) with returning characters. This is mainly attributed to the fact that SSX on Tour has a create-a-character-type mode, while the previous games had a lineup of characters with unique personalities.^{[original research?]}

One of the biggest gripes among fans was the lack of a "Merqury City" track in the game. This track was present in SSX Tricky and SSX3, and was structured around a huge city lit with neon lights, allowing for more variety in tracks. The lack of diversity among the tracks present in SSX on Tour was something that previous fans disliked, despite the various improvements in terms of the numbers of short-cuts and track lengths in general.^{[original research?]}

The line "Canine Snipers", used by the "Ski Patrol" during the game, was originally intended to be "...canine and snipers...".

Soundtrack

One of the most notable features of every game in the SSX series has been the soundtracks used, usually featuring prominently in the games. Like SSX Tricky and SSX3, SSX on Tour features a licensed soundtrack, including rap, punk, rock and alternative music styles. The prominence of punk and rock is a departure from the more techno-heavy soundtracks of previous games in the series. SSX Tricky is the second game in the SSX series. ... SSX 3 is a snowboarding game published by Electronic Arts and developed by EA Sports BIG, which was released in late 2003. ...

The soundtrack is integrated with the game rather than used as a background to it. Tracks used on the menu screens play only as instrumental versions of the ones used during races. In addition, when performing "Monster Tricks" during an event, the music will fade away, to be replaced with the sound of the wind whistling by as the player cuts through the air. Upon hitting the ground again, the music cuts back in, enhancing the sensations of the game.
