Support NeoGAF

[SickBoy]

So assuming it's around still around, I might pick up SSX3 tomorrow, since it's got a low low price. Both the Xbox and PS2 versions are available for around $20US after tax.

I liked Tricky after getting used to it, but one of the things I liked was the courses, and it seems like the more open concept of SSX3 takes that away to a degree.

Still, $20 is cheap. How much is SSX3 worth?

...and which version is better? The Xbox version or the PS2? I know the PS2 has got online play, but I'm not sure how often I'd really play it on the Internet.

Yes it's worth $20. Get the PS2 version

 

[BuddyC]

Yes, the PS2 version. Controls are better. If you have to get XB of GC, they'll suffice, but if you can, get PS2.

 

[Solid]

Yes. PS2.

 

[epmode]

it's worth much more than $20. get the ps2 version. better controls, and it still manages to support prog scan. (the online mode is terrible, btw)

its a much much deeper game than ssx tricky, but i enjoyed tricky a lot more.

 

[Matlock]

PS2 version. Best controls, bloom lighting, some better particle effects in the snow.

And it's the best snowboarding game around.

But ssx3 is still very much worth $20. go with PS2.

I had no problems with playing it on Xbox. Switch to Pro-controller config and you are good to go with easy access to all 4 trick buttons, faster loading and 5.1 audio.

But yea, PS2 is probably all good as well. And the game IS pretty dope.

 

[Matlock]

faster loading

That's all the Xbox version has over the PS2 version. The output is not a true 5.1.

Yep.

PS2 SSX using DTS mode = Xbox SSX using Dolby Digital

Other than that, PS2 version reigns supreme.

Get the PS2 version.

Its a cool Xbox game, but supposedly it controls better on the PS2 and it has online play for the PS2.

 

[Agent Dormer]

PS2 version. I'll finally be picking it up this week too, heh.

DTS>Dolby Digital

When it comes to ingame audio, thats a junk argument. Both of the standards have so little bandwidth to deal with in real time that they can't even pull out a full 5.1.

Not that I would want to argue for the Xbox version though (bleh)
