"1080°: Avalanche"

Went along to GAME after school today and got this great little sequel...

It's much improved on the first in almost every way. Everything looks much nicer of course, but there are also the new environmental hazards like the namesake Avalanches, Buildings collapsing, animals, other skiers etc... On top of this, there are more features and maps, although I don't think there are as many characters as before (used to be 6 I think, now there are 5).

But the gameplay has been vastly improved. Although it feels similar to the original with a damage bar etc, it feels much faster than most other snowboarding games (and its very noticable :P) and also has a lot tighter controls. Along with LAN play, this seems like a great game, although I think I need a bit more time to get used to it before I start to compare it to SSX3 and to the original in terms of overall quality.

Still, you should get it, definately (also, it comes with 250 stars, meant that I now have 4,500 stars exactly for the Zelda disc)

What do you people think?

Worms 3D is great fun, sure it is difficult to control, but it rocks.

Eh what reviews have you been reading?

NGC gave worms 90%, my review will also be VERY positive. Worms 3D is just Worms in 3D and it works as perfectly as you'd want it to!!!!!!!!!!!!

1080 is of course the third of Nintendo's main 3 games this Christmas (ignoring the annual Mario Party) and did you notice they all happen to be racing games?????

Haven't played either, but all the reviews I've read idicated that Worms 3D was a considerable disappointment and Avalanche was surprisingly good.

So 1080, I'd say :D

Should I get this or Worms 3D, do you think?

Will definitely get this game for Christmas. Have been looking forward to it for a while now - expecting it to be better than SSX 3.

I heard it's very easy.. although I don't really know alot about games because I play them for fun but I try to look up on the ones I'm interested in as I'm very low on cash most of the time.

The Avalanche on the last course is quite simply stunning

Really does look brilliant (the SSX3 avalanches look truely lame compared to these ones)

Damn It, I've already completed it on flippin Expert

Lucky theres an extreme mode

Better than your old text talking self...

Bloody hell my english was poor then.
