Right, I've been wondering about getting this game for a while now, but I'm not sure whether I should. I always thought I was going to end up getting 1080 and MP5, but it seems with my brother getting an XBox, that got priority and I've ended up spending my money on a couple of XBox games and Cueb controller/memory card.

I remembered I have an unclaimed GAD, though, so I'm thinking maybe I should get 1080; only problem is, is it any good? I've heard it's far too short/arcadey, and some people say that SSX 3 is much better. If it's not as good as SSX 3 I don't think there'd be much point getting it.

So I should I wait and see if I can get Live, then get an XBox title (probably Crimson Skies), leave my GAD and pre-order a decent Cube title like FF: CC when soem release dates are confirmed or go for 1080?

Cheers Ninty dudes.

R.S. is always on ebay but be prepared to pay a high price for it. Psyvarier is only £12.99 brand new from Game.

R-Type Final is out on PS2 in a few weeks, I'll be getting that also :)

This forum is mainly for shoot em ups if your interested.

I've only really got Ikaruga. I do love the old shooters, and I was hunting around for Radiant Silvergun for a fair while, but never found it. Trouble is, there aren't many Cube shooters like Ikaruga, so it's a tough job tracking them down.

I got it the other day, brilliant stuff. Its must first venture into a snowboarding game and im not dissapointed. The main challenge mode is a litle short but with gate challenges, stunt modes and 4 player capabilities.. (broadband if ur a ritch punk). Visually wonderfull.

Yeah, I'm hoping for some Ikaruga-style replay value with getting good times. If that fails, I may just opt for Shikigami, I've read a ltitle bit about it and the points system sounds genius.

If that fails too, I'll pre-order FF: CC and feel good :-D

Don't think you'll be disappointed with 1080, it may be short but plenty or replay value in my opinion.

Yay, I've ended up claiming 1080 because I got another GAD. Whoop!

Gah, the Official Xbox Magazine really are god awful. Anyone can see that SSX 3 is superior to Amped, T3 is certainly not a very good game and that they're only appearing very desperate by continually slagging off the GameCube and PS2.

Nope, no racing, which seems a bit weird in a snowboarding game.

I think the only really positive review I've read was in XOM, where they gave it 8.9/10.

Then the 'tards gave SSX3 7.9 on the next page, and I think they gave the T3 game a similar score.

Amped 2 is ok though. Online play is pretty cool.
