SSX3
Been playing quite some SSX 3 on my Gamecube. At first, I felt very lost as the game expects you to have played SSX Tricky beforehand, but after playing for a while (and setting the controls to “Pro” ;)), it’s really good and very polished.

Professionally destroyed
Someone has invested a lot of time and effort to unravel the rankings in P.N.03. So Professional is officially better than Destroyer.
Colourful Grays
Something that no review of P.N.03 has mentioned is the lighting. It is very subtle but quite impressive. It seems that most surfaces are somehow specularly lit (most likely using environment maps). This creates some slight banding issues on gray-ish surfaces (either because of the low bit-depth of the environment maps or because of frame-buffer compositing), but the overall effect looks very nice. Or maybe my flat-panel display’s composite input has trouble digitising dark grays? In any case, it’s nifty!
Who’s the Boss now?
