SSX: Out of Bounds
SSX Out of Bounds is the first handheld game in the series. Fully 3D, this
snowboarding game allows you to race against computer-controlled opponents as
well as locally against three other players, all requiring an N-Gage and this
game. The game allows you to choose from ten different characters, each with
their own strengths and weaknesses.
It also features a Shadow Racing mode that allows you to race against the best
times of another player, downloaded from the N-Gage Arena, though no direct
multiplayer can be played online. The N-Gage arena will also supply you with
trick tips.
In order to unlock new areas and equipment, you must meet certain requirements
that are achieved through performing various tricks and hitting certain high
scores. Performing tricks involves simply shifting your body-weight while in
the air, and pressing an additional button. The more varied your combos, the
higher the score. Performing the same trick over and over again yields
diminishing results. Tricks are also of use in the regular races, as they
provide you with boost capabilities.
