Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding

"This game is awesome!"

I heard this game was pretty cool,so I decided to pick it up, it was only about $25, and when I first played it,I loved it!This game is also good for multiplayer,you dont even have to like snowboarding!

Graphics 10/10: The graphics are awesome in this game! Though in some cases it deserves a 9. Everything is textured nice and smooth, the snow looks good in this game, and on some levels,it snows which makes it look all the more better, a real good plus.

Sound 10/10: You can't mess with the sound in this game. It has about 150 music tracks of all the good stuff(Punk,Hip hop,metal etc.) so theres music for everyone. Plus you can play your own music.

Gameplay 9/10: This one gets a 9, due to some difficulties in the game. You have to be really good to beat the game, but if you are average...you'll get halfway through. You can trick off of anything, like the skyline rails that carry the snowboarders. A lot of goodies in each stage!

Controls 9/10: The controls for this game aren't so bad, most people could handle it. If not,there are different controller configurations that you can make. The controls in the game (while your playing) aren't really bad at all either. It may be hard to turn at some points, because on some levels there are bumpy hills, and if you try to turn while going over a bump, you will be airborne for about a half a second... then bail because you landed sideways, so watch out for these hazards!

Fun Factor 10/10: This earns a ten, because the game is fun,and worth every penny of your money. It's even better for multiplayer, like the ''dash till you crash'' (once you fall,your run is over) and game modes such as that. Plus there is career mode,where you create your character,pick his gear and go to levels and beat the high scores and go against pro's. It's hard to go into detail with it,but once you buy it... you will understand.

Overall 10/10: No lie,pick this up! You will be missing out on some great fun! You'll have trouble with it at first,learning when to do tricks and such,but once you get a hang of it, your good to go! Get Amped, its such a great game. It should only be about $20 or $30 in all of the stores where you buy your video games. You wont regret buying it, trust me!
