Amped is a great game,graphics wise and gameplay wise.The graphics are top notch and are un-matched by any other snowboarding game out there.Gameplay wise there are lots of modes(i.e. career,free style etc.) the controls are responsive and guiding the boarder down the hill is easy,but the camera can sometimes go into a wierd position and you wont be able to see the boarder.Tricks sometimes can be tricky,but its pretty staright foward you use the lest analog to spin(left,right,back flip etc.)and the right to preform grabs.One of the coolest features is the media coverage.The pooint of Amped is NOt to gain points but to gain popularity with the media which is a very cool and different feature.All though this game has many great features about it it also has it down falls.Beating sponsors can get tough and so can achieving the high score(they sometimes get up to 200 000).The sound effects are great and so is the music(if you dont like the indie bands in the game you can burn your own music into the game,simply pick your fav. CD put into the X-Box go to music,pick your songs and then go to copy and your half way done.Then when your playing Amped go to options,then soundtracks and turn your music on,now your done).Over all this game is great not perfect but very close,i recommend that you buy this game for two reasons 1)if you own and X-Box 2)if you like snowboarding games
