 Do not buy this game! January 13, 2006

When I first bought Amped II on the original XBOX I couldn't stop playing it. The controls were easy to master, the game play was fun, quick and dynamic. This game is none of these. The action feels sluggish and frustrated; the load times are ridiculous and it seems the development team spent more time on making the game seem "cool" and not enough on actual game play. This is a HUGE step back from Amped's last release. The overly slick styling detracts from Amped 3, making it all filler without much else. Maybe this is what ten year olds expect from their video games, but I was extremely disappointed.

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.
 Best Snowboarding Game Out There! December 14, 2005

When I first saw the screens for Amped 3, I was skeptical. Being a loyal Amped enthusiast though, I decided to pick it up anyway to see if this game lived up to its predecessors. Well...
It DEFINITELY did!!!!!
This game has a whole slew of new features that no other snowboarding game has pulled off yet, like a complete story mode that allows you to basically wander the entire slope via Snowmobile and compete in challenges a la Tony Hawk Underground. The mountains are utterly enormous, and the graphics are very much next gen. Seeing the board carve through the snow is stunning.
The gameplay is a bit simplier from previous Amped games, but that's not a bad thing at all. The other games involved very complicated and unnatural button combos to pull off even the simpliest of tricks. This game still maintains the realism, but the awkwardness is nowhere to be found. 2K did a great job converting this title, as it used to be a Microsoft product.
This game is the closest you're going to get to the slopes on the 360...and that's pretty awesome!
Amped: Doesn't Deserve X-Box 360 Status (Train Wreck) December 24, 2005

I rented Amped 360 after reading the good reviews some people gave it. My analaysis ...
Hardly worth renting, much less buying; especially compared to other games.
Painfully long Load times and annoying appeal-to-7-year-old interface are hard to stomach.
After getting through all of that nonsense ... the game is really 10 steps back from good snowboarding games like the SSX series (I really haven't played any others; there are probably dozens AT LEAST as good as SSX, if not better.
Admittedly I didn't play Amped 360 for very long, but my first impressions were this is a train wreck that you'd be wise to avoid.

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.
