    Not only the best snowboarding game to date, but one of the better games out right now for any system. With its amazing graphics, good sound and unbelievable gameplay, Amped will keep you busy for a long long time.

    The sound track is exceptional. The music is solid, the vocal abuse is crisp, and the sound effects are exactly what one would expect to hear.

    Amped may not be exactly like snowboarding, but it's the closest you can get without equipment.

    Amped isn't the most fun-filled snowboarding game you can buy, but it's easily the deepest and most satisfying.

    The interlocking level goals in the career mode ooze intelligent design. [Xgamer Magazine]

    It's too bad that all these extras outshine the game's dull and problematic gameplay. [Dec 2001, p.104]

    It’s fun in small doses, but frustrating whenever you try to get into it.

Who watches It is a god d*** travesty that this game has a rating of 78. It truly shows how ignorant reviewers can be. Lack of a race mode? Who watches snowboarding on espn or goes snowboarding in order to race? It's all about the tricks. This game is so incredibly awesome, it's hard to find words to describe it. Everything about it is top notch and it's truly one of the best games i've ever played. I'm so glad I was able to play this game when it was originally released because looking back on it now it gives me such a great sense of nostalgia. Days of high school when I didn't have a care in the world. This game goes for $10 brand new on amazon, do yourself a favor and buy it, it plays on the 360 and if you have the slightest interest in snowboarding you will not be disappointed. It also features one of the best soundtracks in videogame history. This game is incredible.… Expand

Once you get the hang of it there is only really one hard challenge, and that is pro 3 (mainly snow summit 2) Awesome graphics and it is sick. I snowboard and this is the closest to real that I have played. Anyway as for a racing mode as mentioned above by one of your critics who gives a crap? no one buys a freestyle snowboarding game for a race mode. I mainly freeride (aka go really fast) and I love how it is only freestyle. I think that would take away from this.… Expand

A very annoying interface design, the musical range is very random pop-rock of the early 2000s, and most importantly, in addition to the fact that the notorious power and graphics of Boxing look weak here, to put it mildly, new mountains with tests open only when you gain a lot of points for freestyling. And taking into account the fact that the Persian is not pumped and always falls to the fifth point, somehow I don’t really want to replay the same section. I don't recommend it in general. Glory to Ukraine!… Expand
