Ride the runs on real mountain resorts: Utah's Brighton, Vermont's Strattong and California's Snow Summit. Be a snowboarding media star. Get enough globa exposure to become one of the world's snowboarding media superstars. Amp it up with the most music of any game, ever. No more endless repetition of the s Amazon.com Review: Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding ditches the conventional racing modes of other snowboarding games and instead focuses on freestyle action--in other words, executing tricks with style. The excellent trick system and accurate physics make for tight gameplay across the board. The game sports a robust career mode as well as quick start and multiplayer modes. Career mode is divided into four parts: High Score, Media, Sponsor, and Pro Ride. High Score challenges the player to pile on as many tricks as possible. Media requires the player to execute tricks at certain points where a photographer is waiting. Sponsor mode focuses on a particular group of tricks. For instance, one sponsor may favor grinds over airs, so players better make sure to grind everything in site to win the sponsor's gear. This mode is also the least forgiving, as it's the only one where mistakes detract from the overall score. Finally, Pro Ride has the player follow and out-trick one of 17 professional riders in a follow-the-leader manner. Multiplayer mode allows up to four players to participate in a round robin tournament with numerous selectable conditions. Graphically, the game isn't as sharp as EA's SSX Tricky, nor are the physics and pace as extreme. That isn't to say the game looks bad. The real-life locations of Stratton, Brighton, Snow Summit, and more look great. The soundtrack features more than 50 songs in a wide array of genres, including electronica, emo, hip-hop, rap, punk, ska, and reggae. Players can also opt to use their own soundtracks off the Xbox hard drive, letting them snowboard to Journey and Air Supply as nature intended. --Raymond M. Padilla Pros:

Rating: - My first Xbox sports gameI recently bought an Xbox and am slowly building up my game collection. I had a demo of "Amped2" and loved it. However I found "Amped" for a good price and thought I would try it. I must say that it is fantastic and very addictive. There are quite a lot of controls to learn to really do well on high scores but it is a lot of fun learning to play. The hardest part for me is the rails. With a limited budget, I have to start with some of the older games, and this one is well worth the money. It is hilarious ... Read More Rating: - AmpedThis is by far the best snowboarding game on the market. It is easy to play and the concept isn't hard to grasp at all. I tried it at my friends house and it took me 2 runs to understand how to do backflips and corkscrews. It is an awesome game because it is so different from the other snowboarding games where it is possible to pull off quadruple backflips but in amped it is so close to real that even the landing is sensitive. This is by far the best game I have played on Xbox so far but it is also one of ... Read More Rating:  - Worst game ever made.At least give us a decent two player mode. |
