I've read that 1080 is more simulation than the "arcadey" SSX3, and as I want it for the races as well as tricks just wondered which you thought was best.

Sad to read that the Cube version has some tricks missing due to the controllers "lack of buttons"

Opinions please, which one shall I buy tonight ????

Gonna look and see which has the most tracks

SSX 3 is very big, plus it's a great game for the first few hours. After a while it starts to get dull though.

If you want a snowboarder that's more "serious" and about racing, go for 1080.

But if you wants something that's more... un-realistic and "arcadey", go for SSX.


I've only played 1080, so, that's all I can say, really

that confirms what I've heard, will be getting 1080 unless I get hit by lightning before 5pm tonight.

Cheers

1080 is a superior game... short but VERY fun and replayable.

No No...SSX3 all the way. I have 1080 and loved it, until I completed it four hours later.

Get SSX3. Longer, funner, better music... Much more worth £40.

SSX 3 is a shallow... OTT annoying game that doesn't nothing to beat it's pretty decent predecessor.

1080 is a slick, enjoyable and different experience all together that is shorter but in that short period you get a great game... the same period on SSX3 is frustrating by the end of it.

I don't like to have to put down 1080, but on Gamerankings.com, the average scores are:

1080: 76.2%

SSX3: 92.7%

Really, 1080 is NOT worth £40

I own both, got SSX3 day of release and played it to death. Tiss a very good game.

Got 1080 for Xmas and think that it is FANTASTIC!

SSX3 is a really good snowboarding game, but it is a really arcadey over the top game. Tricks are crazy and impossible in real life. You can jump a million miles into the air off most things. It has LOTS of challenges that will keep you entertained for hours.

1080 though. Tracks are smaller, but they are much more detailed and realistic/interesting. It is the true snowboard racer of the two games. If you like your snowboarding games to be reasonably realistic and more true to life get 1080. People say it's short, but it has a much greater replay value than SSX3.

Get 1080!

Still, I can't find that much Replay Value in 1080

Once you find the missile board, it's almost impossible for anyone to beat yer
