Get tricky with the SSX demo, available now

Though it's quite obvious that SSX is moving away from its roots of crazy, over-the-top action, and heading towards a more serious approach, EA has crafted a gorgeous, authentic snowboarding title with characters that you've come to know and love. SSX is more than just snowboarding this time around, you'll now have to survive atop some of the world's most crazy terrain. Sound interesting enough? If so, you can get your first glimpse of the final product with the official demo, available now on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Details and a download link can be seen below:
