New SSX Demo Hits Consoles Today

 If you can’t wait to seriously shred the slopes next week, satisfy your curiosity by checking out the SSX demo that hits Xbox Live and PSN today .

Zoe Payne is reported to be the demos default playing character, but by referring a friend players will be able to unlock Mac Fraser.  The online element will be active in the demo, which will allow you to use one of the new modes: Explore.  Explore will allow you to see ‘ghost runs’ of your friends experience on certain courses, allowing you to indirectly compete or discover secret passageways you didn’t know existed.

Pre-ordering for the game is still available, from which you can receive exclusive in-game content that includes returning fan favorite character, Eddie Wachowski!  For more pre-release details, check out the official SSX webpage–where you can pick up some tips on how to beat your friends, or even a few tricks to impress the ladies.

The full version of SSX will be released on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on February 28, 2012.
