The problem... the snow. Yes- the basis of the game. In 1080, the sound of the snow as u go over it let's u know whether u are right on the edge of your board, or glidiing on top of it. The rumble pack give u the impression that you are actually about to lose grip. In SSX, the snow is like a white carpet- there for decoration. The sound of the snow is far from realistic, and the rumble is... well hmmmmm...
Despite all it's power, the PS2 has not lived up to a game that's 3 years old... the reaso is that the power is being used in the wrong way. Clearly, the people making 1080 were aiming for realist snow, while in SSX snow was just a decoration to glide on. In fact the people who made 1080 even made Waverace, who I was reminded while reading Edge actually made the most realistice water effects ever.
Power is nothing. It's what u do with it that counts...

As you turn the sound changes. When you go on different terrain the sound changes. Thuds and collisions cause vibrations as well as landings from jumps. Who wants a game where the controller vibrates the whole time for no real reason?
It beats 1080 with no problems at all, though of course you are entitled to your opinion however flawed it maybe.
But, what about Wave race... I have yet to see water effects anywhere near as good as those in any game on any platform.

Also, I think that Mark Foster is a better swimmer than Beckam is a footballer. I don`t think its a good idea to compare two totally different games.

What, no snowboarding games??
Get Royal Rumble, you could imagine it was a snowboarding game. That's how poor it is. Not having a go at the DC at all, but I think Sega should ask THQ to make one more WWF game for Dreamcast-a good one!!
It should be called WWF: Summerslam. I love that name.
