SSX 3 is a snowboarding video game developed by EA Canada, and published by Electronic Arts. The game was originally released in 2003 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube.
Set on a fictional mountain, the single-player mode follows snowboarders competing in the SSX Championship. Players choose from a variety of characters and take part in various events in different locations, earning points and money by performing tricks, winning races, completing goals, and finding collectables.
SSX 3 is a snowboard racing game played from a third-person view. Players control one of various snowboarders and compete in events set across individual courses in peaks on a mountain. Unlike previous games in the series, which contains unconnected courses, a freeride mode also allows players to freely roam the open world consisting of all the courses in the game.
SSX 3 was critically acclaimed, with reviewers praising the game’s open world, trick system, presentation, and soundtrack. It was the first game in the SSX series to sell 1 million copies.
