whelp, thanks to this thread i just bought a copy of SSX 3 to play again, couldnt find my old copy.
i had completely forgotten about this game, easily top 3 funnest games for me (probably second behind golden eye). ill be wasting endless hours getting my SSX skillz back. they really really need to make a new SSX with the same mold as SSX 3/Tricky.
video games just aint what they used to be. the newer games are fun, but i cant remember the last newer video game that brought me the joy that some of the older PS1/N64/Original Xbox/PS2 games brought me.
