Welcome to Modojo, 
SSX: Out of Bounds Review
Written by Modojo Staff on Monday, January 31, 2005
All the fun of the console game crammed into your cell phone.
Lower quality graphics make course navigation difficult at times.
...Continued From Page 1 While going through the tracks, make sure you do enough tricks to supply your boost key, and stay between the lines. For seasoned SSX boarders, notice the added ramps on the tracks. Due to the lower graphic quality and limited field of view, I sometimes was unsure of which direction I was sliding, but the game didn't seem to care. Certain maps are more prone to have black holes that make getting back on track near impossible, but once you get the lay of the land these problems are easier to avoid.
One of the important features in any N-Gage title is multiplayer, and this SSX takes full advantage of both the Bluetooth capability and online N-Gage Arena and is where this title truly shines. Using Bluetooth up close and personal, you can race in the very first four-player N-Gage experience. Log into N-Gage Arena and you can upload your best race as a ghost, or download others ghosts to race against others in Shadow Racing mode. Expect to see this feature in many N-Gage titles from now on.
All said and done, I enjoyed this game. I totally became that girl in the commercial who was trying to jump over the bus seat in front of me in order to make the ramps. Fans of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater should buy it without a doubt. Quirks and lackluster graphics aside, the game play is addictive and makes this a solid N-Gage release.
