SSX - On Tour is the fourth instalment in EA Sports’ SSX (Snowboard Supercross) series, released in 2005. Known for its fast-paced snowboarding gameplay, On Tour took the adrenaline of the SSX franchise to new heights by allowing players to not only snowboard but also ski for the first time in the series. The game offers a mix of racing and trick-based challenges, with courses that wind through massive, open mountainscapes.
SSX - On Tour added a unique twist with its “On Tour” mode, where players could create a custom character and embark on a journey to become a snowboarding legend, earning points to climb the ranks from a rookie to a pro on the mountain. It introduced a distinct sketch-style aesthetic for menus and UI, giving the game a gritty, hand-drawn feel that set it apart from earlier instalments.
The game also features a killer soundtrack filled with rock, hip-hop, and punk tracks, which add to the rebellious, high-energy vibe of carving through extreme mountain terrain.
