SSX3 vs Amped 2 vs 1080° Avalance

TheGame · 11-18-2003, 10:55 AM

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.

7.5, 7.0, 5.5 - EGM (The thrill of speed. The agony of a busted tricks system.)

sorry, but not even close to SSX3

CrOnO_LiNk · 11-24-2003, 09:08 PM

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.

*pokes nintendo*

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 · 11-24-2003, 10:53 PM

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.

Does SSX3 have 4 player mode?

Hey, I HAVE to get 1080 to get the Zelda collectors disc.

Null · 11-25-2003, 09:09 AM

no 4 player mode. but i'd give up 4 player mode in a heart beat for online mode.

Then again, i wouldnt go near a 4 player mode on a game like that with a 10foot pole. (unless it was on a BIG screen, HD TV)
