This game is alot more realistic than SSX and has an amazing storyline. The areas are based on real mountains and are very open. The best parts are being able to ride a snowmobile at anytime in the game, which makes getting places very easy.If you liked Tony Hawk, than this game is basically the same with the controls and feel.

I really love Amped 2 and that's the reason I bought this game.
But Amped 3 is completely different. It's very funny and has lots of things to do.
But at the same time, it doesn't have multiplayer mode or tutorial (the controls are easy, but it was nice to have this feature to learn all).
I don't regret buying this game, but I like Amped 2 better.

Awsomness!

This is by far the best snowboarding game you will ever play. the graphics are top notch and the controls are fun and easy to learn. you can customize your player, win costumes, ride on REAL mountains, build your own snowboard park, earn respect and money... the list goes on...
one of the coolest innovations is your "awesomeness," basically when you are doing really good and land plenty of tricks, an animated graphic of your choosing will explode under your board. very trippy and fun to make happen.
one thing you should consider before buying, is that this is not primarily a racing game. the gameplay is based more on style points. this means doing lots of jumps and grinds, to out trick the other riders on the mountains.
the only downside i can come up with for this title is the music. about 90% of it is EMO... but with all the fun things to do in this game you wont even care after awhile.

What is going on???

Ok, amped 3 is probobly one of the craziest games ever made. The people who created this must have been on all sorts of drugs to come up with one of the most pointless and histerical storylines ever. You have to play the game to understand how really crazy this game is.

Buy this game for the fun of it

When Amped 1 first came out on the original xbox, I was blown away and that's really the only reason I purchased xbox. Amped 2 was a step up, and now with the release of the xbox 360 well I'm not 100% satisfied. The original game is in my opinion much better then this one. It's almost like the xbox 360 HD isn't an option when it comes to game play. Little sluggish, graphics are clean but aren't mind blowing. However, compared to other snowboard video games, this one is in my top 10. Snowboard games released on PS2, just don't compare. Get Amped 3 if you like fun, fast, easy to navigate game play. Plus, the season "real" season is over, meaning this game should be pretty darn cheap to purchase.

I'd have to say that Amped 3 is a fun game. Given the fact that I like games like this, such as cool boarders for the other systems. Amped 3 reminds me of a Tony Hawk Game but instead of a skateboard it's a snow board. Only one major downfall of this game is the fact that your boarder seems like they're moving in slow motion all the time, and if you tap it to the left she goes WAY left and its semi-hard to navigate. Other than that the fun rating is a 5 I love it!

If you want a game that really is out there and terribly painful to look at this is it. I have a few words to describe it. FUNNY, cartoonish, Funny, relaxed, Funny, brainless, Funny and Oh it is Funny. The Graphics aren't all about this game it is more the storyline or lack thereof. It is snowboarding...not Tony Hawks Wastelands stuff. Not that tony is not funny...but I think if you don't really care about winning or just want to fool around this game lets you do it. Buy it...it isn't that expensive, probably the cheapest 360 game thusfar.

Fun gameplay and amazingly funny references

Amped 3 is the first snowboarding game to come out for the XBox 360. You get to fly through the snowy slopes in full wide screen high definition.

First, it's important to fully accept that this game is made very tongue in cheek. You get cut scenes with drawings almost exactly like Trogdor, you have sequences of 60s-style circles with good/evil George Harrisons urging you on. You get modern alt music mixed in with Blinded By the Light. Sometimes there are Wonder Woman style flashing lights. "The Dueling Serpents of Fangar!"

A lot of the references might go right by people who aren't both classic TV watchers and new website visitors. It's amazing how many subtle funny things are built into the dialogues and cut scenes.

But back to the game. You customize your character - male or female - with the typical array of skin color, body build, hair, facial hair, hat, clothing, board and so on. You have a GIANT mountain to explore that you can explore, do challenges on, follow the storyline on, and just have fun. If you get tired of tracking down cool places to board, you can always snowmobile all over to find a new hidden spot.

Like any game, the key here is to master the controls. Once you get the hang of the different moves, you'll be carving, spinning and sliding whereever you want to go. Dodge in the trees. Launch out over the rocks. The mountain is fully rendered and waits for you. The game is pretty forgiving for beginners, so they don't get frustrated, but also provides enough challenges that skilled boarders will find their ways to have fun.

The graphics in widescren high def are a mixed bag. On one hand, I love the groomed rippled snow and the trails you leave in it. It made me want to put aside the controller and drive up to the ski lifts. The funky stars and circles and other indicators are all true to style. The clouds and sunsets in the background are photo-realistic and lovely. However, the character models are a little plastic looking. Comapred to other games we're playing right now, they weren't up to standards.

It's important to note that the game is about fun - not about training you to be a professional snowboarder. If you slam into a tree, you don't get hauled off to the emergency room. You just bounce off and keep going. If you take a nose dive you just roll and get back up again. I don't really consider this a bad thing in a video game.

Well recommended for snow bunnies everywhere!
