Well I'm gonna be honest here. When I first played this game I didn't really like it and I was starting to think that I should have bought SSX Tricky....I still play this game every day and it is like 2 months later!...

Amped- A Great Realistic Snowboarding Game

Amped has a great variety of music. Great graphics and hundreds of different ways down the mountain. You can also unlock different starting points on the mountain. A lot of levels, too. Plus you get trick points and media points (points for photos). Also, you can spin while you jib(grind). I reccommend this to anybody who likes snowboarding games.

Fantastic

I have now bought eight X BOX games, and this one is my favourite!! I love it, three of us here in the house are adicted to it, you can each have a career, and then comepete against each other, the graphics are great and so is the game play.. I normally only like racing games, but this one has changed my way of thinking. If you get it you won't regret it.

Like blowing your money on a polished piece of poo?

I was very misled from the start of this game. I love the graphics and the slopes. But putting all that aside, I hereby explain why this game is horrible. The game engine is too inconsistent, one minute you'll be riding like a pro, wondering why you pull off a nice pipe grind when you were 5 feet away from the darn thing. The next minute, you're cussing out the television with your family watching in absurdity. The controls would be great if there weren't 15 different ways to do the same trick, and your lucky if you happen to get one right. I read the manual cover to cover, back and forth...and I swear the button combonations for the different tricks are all wrong.
This would have been a great game if Neversoft created, and if it was made for PS2. My opinion is that all the talent in creating this game was wasted on the great graphics and the 1,000 song soundtrack it comes with. You can polish a piece of poo as much as you want...it will always be poo.

If you snowboard then this is your game....

I have played this game until I have blisters on my fingertips. The graphics are the best I have seen on a snowboarding game. I have seen the SSX demos for Xbox and they don't even come close... Seriously if you board then this is your game. No idiotic characters with poofy afro's or over proportioned female characters, just really good graphics and gameplay combined with a great career mode. Oh yea just in case anyone has noticed that snowboarding requires bindings and boots so you don't come off your board then this game will not annoy you by having characters ride their board like it is a bucking bronco while they plummet 200 feet down a cliff. Need I say more, buy this game and rent SSX Tricky so you can find out how [inferior] it is in comparison.....

its alright

When compared to SSX Tricky, Amped shows HUGE flaws

Microsoft's Amped is a mediocre game, with flawed physics and awkward controls. The gameplay is centered around being free to go anywhere you please, but I never truly felt free at all. Though you are able to ride around everywhere, I still felt that I was set on a predetermined path and trying to change course was more difficult than it should have been. The controls for doing grabs are mapped out onto the right thumb-pad, leading to unneeded falls. The trick system is very basic and every character has the exact same grabs and tricks. The trick system feels extremely linear and leaves no room for experimentation. When I first bought Amped, I was expecting a snowboarding game based on realism, but I soon found out that Amped is NOT realistic at all and SSX Tricky, also on X-Box, is easily a much better game. Though not bad, Amped cannot contend with games like SSX Tricky on the market. Amped should be sitting in a bargain bin instead of in a gamer's collection.

Tony hawk on a board!

if you want tony hawk, get tony hawk. This is a water down tony hawk, with less tricks, same graphics, and slower action, if it can be called this. Despite earlier posts, this game has been bashed by magizines, such as Next-Gen mag, who calls it the worst launch x-box game, keeping in mind that shrek launches with the system too

Worst game ever made.
