The characters somehow seem less detailed than they did in SSX 3, but their animations are still silky smooth, and it can be fascinating just to watch your skier shift its weight from one foot to the other as it navigates some uneven terrain.
The single-player experience in SSX On Tour revolves around the tour mode, where you create a custom rider, choose whether it's a skier or a snowboarder, and then compete in a lengthy series of class-based challenges.
SSX On Tour still takes place on a single mountain, and there are still plenty of lengthy courses, though the navigation is done entirely through a rather authentic-looking snow resort trail map.

With this in mind, we chatted about SSX in the past, the simplification of the trick system, the narrower slopes of SSX 3, the new features and the thinking behind them - and overall why he thinks SSX On Tour is the best in the series to date.

 SSX On Tour (ps2: 2005): Reviews
The issue here perhaps that the SSX franchise was not yet ready for another sequel, and EA’s attempt to further cash in on their past success has resulted in a game that is inferior to its predecessors.
I stil think that SSX on Tour is a fun game and if you don't have any other SSX titles or you are like me and have absolutly worn SSX 3 into the dirt and you need a change of pace then I would recomend getting this game and taking the good with the bad.
SSX on Tour is every bit as good a game as SSX 3, but I guess because it isn't a next-gen sequel, it fails to get the high marks that previous entries got.

While SSX Tricky was a great game, the glut of snowboarding games on the market at the time, combined with the fact that it was the series’ third game in a short period, led many to the feeling that the series needed a break.
The courses have the traditional SSX feel to them, with plenty of fireworks, lots of casual skiers and boarders meandering down the mountain, and other effects to distract you along your way down the mountain.
