One of the only Wii games that caught my eye at E3. Far more interesting use of the weight board than Wii Fit

That looks like a Japanese cell phone game.

Wanted to get this (360) but the few reviews there are, are underwhelming. I was hoping the game was more structured like Amped 2 which still plays and looks great but it's not. It has a GTA mission structure and mandatory coin collecting to open new abilities. Think I'll pass for now.

cool breeze · « **Reply #7 on:** November 15, 2008, 10:39:15 PM »

I'm gonna wait until that other snowboarding comes out before I pick one up. I'm not exactly hyped to play a snowboarding game right now. Plus I can hope that SSX next gen comes out by that time.

Was thinking about picking up the game but from the impressions of people who bought it elsewhere other than Target. It seems like a rushed pos. I know Target had something to with this and even some of the people at work were a bit bummed out. I went from

to $:-\$ about this game. I wish Target would have given Ubisoft till december to deliver the goods, or at least a better frame rate. I'll continue to wait for my true Amped 2 sequel.

I've played Stoked its no where near as tight in the way it feel's. I will give it some more play time to gather a better impression of it. But with the short time I had with Shaun White I'm just bummed more than stoked. Talk about under delivering on such hype (for those of us interested in snowboarding games) for this game.

Amped 3 is truly fucking amazing. If you don't like it, your opinion is wrong and you have bad taste and should feel bad about yourself.

I had no idea this was out. I was hoping for a replacement for Amped or SSX (since I like both), but it doesn't look like it's going to deliver. $:-\$

ch1nchilla · « **Reply #19 on:** November 16, 2008, 05:29:35 PM »

I'll at least rent it at some point, I haven't played a snowboarding game in ages.

What we all really want is a 360/PS3 SSX. Fact.

Pure is the closes thing to that.

Also Stoked is coming from Microsoft at some point which should be the new Amped.

While I like the snowboarding, for me it's a relatively small part of what makes SSX such an experience. Almost all the other parts of the experience are in Pure.

I'll give it a go then, nothing else to do next week anyway.

Bildi · « **Reply #28 on:** November 16, 2008, 08:12:37 PM »

It doesn't have the volume of alternate routes of SSX, but otherwise it's very similar - a great boost/trick trade-off system, talking characters (although they don't have as huge personalities as SSX), and landing big-ass tricks is very satisfying.

I've never been very interested in ATV games, but Pure rips so much from SSX that I find it quite enjoyable. Hopefully you'll get something out of it.

i also like the ATV building. you can make some fucking awesome ATVs for each type of event - one with really good jumping skills for tricks, one with good acceleration & control for sprints, one with a massive engine for races. half the fun for me is making new vehicles and seeing how much better I get at events

Probably just going to rent it, so not too big of a loss either way.

I just hope it matches the overall feeling of SSX, which is kind of hard to put a finger on.

I really like this aspect too and spend a lot of time playing around to get better times on the track. The only thing I'd like to see is that when you acquire an upgrade (like +1 or +2) you get a choice to apply it to all ATVs that have that part. It's a little cumbersome to go through each vehicle and upgrade manually.

Hell, I might actually have to give Pure a go if it's really that close to SSX.

I seriously would suck an epic amount of cock for a PS3/360 SSX game though.
