Um, take SSX3 for a spin the the top of the peaks before you get to the set up tracks. I haven't seen a snowboard games that realistic ever.

1080 p0wns SSX here. The way you had to balance your board after a jump was intuitive and worked quite well...and tricks are way to easy to pull of in SSX. So freaking easy...I was getting tricky no problem on SSX tricky, and pulling off the hardest stunts there were without problems...1080 on the other hand(and im referring to the N64 version when I say this), the tricks were a lot harder to pull off, which made it that much more enjoyable when you did pull off the hard ones.

Just because it's hard it doesn't make pulling it off enjoyable. 1080 for N64 was a good game, but pulling off tricks were just fustrating. I remember so many times doing The Big Air event and always messing up.

I find it retarded that I could pull off 3 '360's but it not count as a 1080.

I love extreme sports games, but 1080 just didn't satisfy in the area of tricks. I don't understand why and snowboard game would require button combinations just to pull off a spin.

Jason, I have some bad news, Justin, I have some good news:
The trick system is totally changed in Avalanche. With R you can spin (and flip), with B,Y and X you grab.
When on the ground, holding L makes you go fasters (like Z in 1080°), when on rails or something L makes you grind and when you land, L gives you a good landing or something. A jumps of course.

If I had to choose between the over-the-top-stunt game SSX or the realistic 1080°, I'd choose 1080°.
I don't like Tony Hawk that much... Tricks are fun, but not as fun as realistic racing.

I played the N64 version last weekend, I gotta admit it's a wonderful game. Except the trick system but that's going to be improved now.

IMO, id just let then get rid of racing all together, i hates it. Doesnt take skill to learn a map and go thro the shortcuts (ssx im talking, dunno bout 1080).

But luckily in SSX i dont have to race. i prefer to do point matches. much more fun to make jumps and tricks out of nothing. along a course.

On SSX I do both racing and freestyle. But tricks are an important part of both for some reason.. needz the boost.

play online. the top racers will just memorize the map and take the biggest shortcuts.

at the end it tells you how many tricks each do. and they always do under 10. sometimes like 1 or 2 tricks the whole race.

Haven't played Amped 2 or 1080, but I can't imagine them being any better than SSX3...it's the game of the year so far for me...I'm having a dangerous amount of fun with this game.

Graphics - 9
Gameplay - 9.5
Presentation - 10
Sound - 9.5
Fun Factor - 9.5

Simply amazing...everyone needs to play this game.

Oh, and I enjoy both racing and freestyle. Racing can get really intense, and with the music and the digital surround sound...AWESOME experience. Freestyle is just plain FUN.

SSX3 easily.

Well, normally I wouldn't buy 1080 because I already have a stellar snowboard game(SSX 3), BUT 1080 is going to be compatible with warp pipe...so I just might get it.

I wouldn't have even considered paying the 80 bucks cdn for it if it didn't have the option of plaing online.

Well, I wouldnt even attempt to argue that SSX3 is a more realistic snowboarder.

1080's physics are much better and realistic, mostly because the whole aim for SSX is to be arcadey and unrealistic.

But there is no reason you cant own both, 1080 is a Racing game with a trick mode, and SSX3 is a trick game (and I think it has racing in it).

[Perfect Stu]

you know that SSX3's physics are much less realisitc, but you've obviously never played it because you don't know whether or not there's a racing mode?
