I definitely need one or the other. I heard Amped is more realistic, and it is on XBOX Live. However, I heard that SSX 3 has better control and better gameplay. If you had the choice, which would it be?

I would go with amped just because of the different modes it has. Like snowskating....kickass. I have both and play amped 2 the most.

AMPED 2 w/o a doubt...SSX3 is a great game as well, but I like the more realistic feel to some games...Its all a matter of opinion...

But as you asked for mine...mine is AMPED 2:D

I've heard that Amped 2 looks better, but SSX 3 has better gameplay modes... so I don't know. I'm going to eventually get both.

I'm getting Amped 2, even though the SSX3 demo was pretty awesome.

I personally would get SSX probably (since I dont own XBOX LIVE) but even with XBOX LIVE for Amped, I think that SSX is much more fun, it is fast and fun, big jumps and huge mountains. If you like you snow boarder to be realistic with XBOX live, choose Amped, if you like faster and bigger snow boarders, go with SSX.

Better gameplay modes? Howso? Amped 2 has:

-Xbox Live-
-Freeride (not the exact name)
-Compete (not the exact name)
King of the Mountain
Snowskating
High Score
Best Trick
+ more, and scoring mods to tweak each gameplay mode.

-Offline-
-Career (includes regular runs, snowskating, sponsor runs, and photoshoot runs)
-Freeride (not the exact name) (includes snowskating)
->Multiplay
All the Xbox Live modes. 4 players on one xbox.

Plus indefinetly more things that I forgot. So what does SSX 3 have over Amped 2?

if you want strictly gameplay go ssx3... if you want a fun, realistic game go amped... id say amped personally

on a side not, george89, your sigs file size is too big... you should fix it before the mods rape your a**

amped 2 definately owns ssx3. personally the main draw to amped 2 for me was snowskating because i snowskate and its the first game to include it.

SSX3 is HUGE in replay value, as you can go from top to bottom on all 3 peaks, choosing whether or not you want to do a race, big air challenge, super slope, or even just screw around and try out some of the crazy challenges that are setup on each section of the peak....yea, it's a great game. I can't get into Amped as it seems way too sluggish for me since I've started playing the SSX series (Tricky, not 3, but I played SSX1 on PS2).

I'd say rent both first - but if you like the fast paced game, then SSX3 is where it's at.

I agree. The Amped games control very slow and sluggish for my taste. I have never played any of the SSX games, but 3 does looks extremely good. I would purchase SSX3 over Amped 2. Why dont you try renting both of these games first, though. After you've done this, you can properly determine which game you want to purchase.

Then Amped 2 is humongasaurus in replay value as it has 7 mountains (that you can ride from the very top, to the very bottom on) in which you can choose to do whatever you want. Get high scores, find the snowmen, snowskate, do a photoshoot, get a sponsor, find gaps, get a media points high score, just ride, ride with up to 15 friends in pretty much every mode you can think of, etc etc etc. Plus 4 "event" runs which are there specifically for contest purposes. You have to get the highest score.

I would have to say SSX 3 if you dont have XBOX live or connect, because it has huge jumps and great graphics. But if you have live or connect then you should choose amped because it is awesome going against other people over the net.
