EA Sports BIG reveals the tracklist you'll be listening to when you play your Mario-filled copy SSX On Tour this autumn!
We can today reveal the 41 songs that apparently "propel" you through SSX On Tour. The in-game soundtrack delivers a fast-paced and energetic mix of music that builds on the popularity of the SSX 3 soundtrack (apparently adored by fans worldwide and the winner of the coveted Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences award for Best Soundtrack, don't you know).
