Why do people always say in forums that, "PS2 games do not live up to the hype... except SSX." It certainly does not! Let me offer the alternative 1080 Snowboarding as a comparrison.
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...

Who cares what the snow feels like? When people say they think SSX is the greatest PS2 game i'm pretty sure they are concentrating on how the game plays, rather than the sound the snow makes when you race over it.
