SSX demo getting tricky on February 21

SSX hits the digital slopes at the end
of the month, but creative director Todd Batty has revealed a demo of
the snowboarding reboot will appear for download on Xbox Live and
PlayStation Network on February 21 (February 22 for PSN players in
the UK).

Detailed in the latest SSX Ubercast,
the demo will feature four events from the game, a pair of tutorials,
and a chance to give the title’s skydiving mechanic a whirl. The
character selection will be limited to just Zoe Payne (any relation?), however players can
unlock Mackenzie “Mac” Fraser by referring the demo to a friend.

EA has been laying its SSX
promotion on thick over the past few months. In case you missed it,
check out yesterday’s Siberia trailers, wednesday’s location previews, and an Antarctica Zone video from earlier this month. And
because we like you, we’ll throw in GR’s interview with SSX's Geoff Coates for free.

SSX arrives for PS3 and Xbox 360 on
February 28 in North America, and March 2 in the UK.
