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.

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).

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?

I have only played it at a friends house. I cant afford the game right now. We didnt play much. He showed me what appeared to be a lot of free roaming.
