Not this again.

Give it a rest IC.

I was referring more to the supposedly (I say 'supposedly' cause I haven't played it yet, but judging by reviews it looks to be the case) unrealistic snow-boarding that SSX3 has versus Amped2, not necessarily the publisher.

IC, unbelievable though it may seem to you, I have bought EA games.

If you want to start an argument thread over my opinions go ahead (I'm sure to everyone's despair), but do it in a different thread, this one is about games coming out and that are going to be bought, or so I thought?

A quick review of SSX3 & AMPED 2 (Courtesy of OXBM Issue 23)

SSX3 - This is one small step for snowboarding titles, unfortuneately, instead of one giant leap for the SSX series. Score 7.9//10

AMPED 2 - A vast improvement on the original, this is the definitive extreme sports title of the year, aided by fantastic Live play. Score 8.9//10

Nuff said.

Well most reviews and normal people who have played have said its excellent and very much like virtual tennis but better!!!

I cant wait!!!

Tezcatlipoca · 27-10-2003, 19:27

Yeah, I don't trust official mags either.

I only generally trust reviews in unofficial or multi-format mags. Edge (sadly not as good as it used to be), Arcade (sadly dead

) & Digitiser (also sadly dead

) were usually ones I trusted the most.

Agree with that.

You choking on the fact that it might be good? A number of people at the BxB LAN last weekend had a go at it and we're very impressed (fanboy and non-fanboy alike). From what I saw it looked good. Jar, will see you online with that soon.
