I love the SSX games, but Amped 2 was a nice change of pace, offering a more conventional and realistic take on snowboarding. Pretty much all of the tricks you can do in this game can be done in real life. The graphics are great. Customization is great. Lots of expansive mtns. to explore. It is quite difficult to master. The physics are tricky to master but they are beautiful once you do. Finally the soundtrack is really aewsome offering tons of music in different generic categories. Plus, this is a great game to play with customized soundtracks. Not quite as much fun as SSX 3, but the 2nd best of its type on XBOX!

Best Snowboarding Game I've Played

This is a GREAT game! I would not reccomend this game to impatient people. The game at first requires some work to become good. Eventually as you progress you yourself become better. You need patience. Once your good the game is a addictive. The graphics are stunning. For the people who own Amped, the controls are different. What's a great addition to Amped 2 is snowskating. Buy the game and enjoy.

Pretty cool

I'm not usually a fan of sports-type games, but Amped 2 was pretty good. I like the fact that you don't have to play as any particular person. You get to pick from several base characters, male/female, black/white, etc. and then choose what types of clothes, goggles, gloves, boards, etc. you want you character to have. The game gives you a freedom to explore massive parts of mountains and just mess around, but you'll have to unlock different mountains in campaign mode. Campaign mode is pretty cool though: for each mountain you have to complete certain tricks, beat certain high scores, take a few photoshoots, etc. which are challenging at times but usually pretty fun.

Snowboarding @ it's best!!!

I was a huge fan of the first amped. My friends and I would sit around for hours playing this damn game. Finally I got my hands on the second one and i noticed some big changes.. First, The controls have changed, and getting used to the new controls after being a die-hard fan of the first was a trying experience. Second, the style system made me very angry when i first started using it. I was used to just pushing it as had as i can on the jumps.Once i got used to it though it really was helpful. Finally, the butter! its basically a manual on a snowboard very helpful in combos for big scores!Overall i love this game and i think anyone who is a fan of a real snowboarding game should get this!!!

Great Snowboarding Game!

I played this on my friends Xbox and at first I was like man he bought a snowboarding game, but in fact this game is awesome. It pretty much has it all and can be very hard and you have to stick certain things or go all out. It can really get irritating on pro and photoshot challenges towards the end of the career but it just makes you that much better or very lucky. Oh yeah in his game, maybe all, there is quite a few glitches, like starting a pro challenge and just falling backwards and falling into a cliff and be stuck.

I was a big fan of the original Amped, and this one should be even better. From the old one, the realism was amazing. I have been snowboarding for several years now, and i cant tell u how real this game is! At first i thought that this game would be almost identical, which turned me down. But after hearing what they added I had to get it!
-New Mountains
-Split screen Multiplayer
-Xbox Live Anabled
-New graphics engine
With these changes the series has gone to a whole new level. I cant wait to get it!

Very very challenging

Okay, now I bought this game out of pure interest in snowboarding. This was the first X-Box game I had, and also the most challenging. The career mode starts of fairly simple, but once you get to about rank #215, it starts getting tough. But it is mainly just getting sponsors and doing photo shoots. The events, like the competition levels in Tony Hawk, are also very tough. One of the better things about this game is that it supports custom soundtracks. If you like snowboarding games that are very, very hard, and very messed up physics, then pick this one up.

Remake

This game is at least 3 stars if you don't own any of the Tony Hauk games. This game is exactly the same except that you're
on a snowboard and going down hill. I would not rcomend getting this game if you have ever played Tony Hauk and didn't like it.
The game objective is the same as Tony Hauk. It's pretty much a remake.
