That’s right, “It’s Tricky” is returning to SSX! Perhaps no popular song has ever been more closely associated with a video game. As the theme to SSX Tricky, RUN-D.M.C.’s classic accompanied countless players as they hurled themselves down the most surreal set of slopes the series had seen. That was then, this is now.

SSX returns next February with an all new set of mountains based on NASA satellite data, and a wealth of social networking features. The game takes place in a massive world, and the new landscapes are the largest and most imposing the series has ever seen, but that shouldn’t stop SSX veterans from landing tricks every step of the way.

Take a look at the SSX “It’s Tricky” trailer below.

SSX Audio Producer Freddy Ouano on what “It’s Tricky” means to SSX:

Roughly three months remain until SSX’s Valentine’s Day release date, but that shouldn’t stop interested gamers from pre-ordering now. SSX will be subject to the standard retailer specific bonuses (one of which appears to significantly eclipse the others), so choose wisely. Details below:

Those “attribute perks” may be fantastic, but the promise of a bonus character is hard to pass up.

Ranters, what do you think about the return of “It’s Tricky” to SSX – is it a way for the developers to demonstrate that they understand what fans loved about the old games, or just a cynical nostalgia grab? Where will you be pre-ordering the game?

SSX releases February 14, 2012, for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
