SSX Tricky is EA's follow-up to SSX. It features more storytelling than the original, with personality attributes that develop rivalries between characters. These rivalries make them act aggressively towards each other during races. The übertrick system adds a new layer to the game.
The game includes seven tracks from the original, as well as six brand-new tracks. The returning tracks have up to four times more shortcuts and hidden lines. Six of the eight riders from the original return, joined by six new ones. The soundtrack features mixes by Mix Master Mike, Aphrodite, and the Plump DJs. DVD-like bonuses include "behind-the-scenes" footage and a "making of" segment.
