SSX Tricky is Electronic Arts ' follow-up to SSX . Tricky features more storytelling than the original through personality attributes. Rivalries develop between characters with opposing attributes, causing them to act more aggressively towards each other during races. The übertrick system adds a new layer to the game. These tricks are much tougher to pull off, but give you a nice boost. Performing six übertricks in a row results in a super übertrick, which rewards you with a bigger boost and causes Run DMC's "It's Tricky" to play.
The game features seven tracks from the original, accompanied by brand-new Garibaldi and Alaska tracks. The returning tracks contain up to four times as many shortcuts and hidden lines. Six of the eight riders from the original return, and are joined by six new ones. The soundtrack includes mixes by Mix Master Mike, Aphrodite, and the Plump DJs.
