Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Amped 3, like snowboarding itself,isn't just about the sport. Sure, there's an all-new physics engine, an innovative artificial intelligence engine, and perfected controls, so you get the most authentic riding experience at some the world's greatest winter resorts.but snowboarding is all about style. That's why Amped 3 offers incredible customization, a fat helping of boarding culture, and deep, wide sandboxes loaded with killer gameplay.

After playing Dead or Alive 4 and getting thoroughly frustrated and wanting to throw my console through the window, this was a breath of fresh air. Its not easy in a "you'll do every challenge first time" kinda way, but its not the sort of game where you'll spend hours on the same challenge being unfairly denied glory. If you fail a challenge it'll ask you if you want to do it again, press the X button and it'll reset your position instantly and you can try again. No frustrating waits just to restart. Many challenges involve performing jumps and getting the required number of points, or hurtling down the hill on a sled and breaking as many bones as you can. Achievements can be earned by simply driving the snowmobile around for the required distance or getting injured a lot!
The graphics are crisp in high-definition, if not groundbreaking and pushing the Xbox 360's capabilities. Characters are nicely drawn in a "Saturday morning cartoon" kinda way - not anatomically accurate, but functional, the slopes are nicely rendered and the cut scenes are crude yet fun.
The voices are like something lifted from Waynes world and Bill & Ted's Excellent adventure, which personally I like. It adds to the laid-back feel of this game. The music isn't too bad either.
Gameplay wise, it has a free-roaming style to it. You can do whatever you want, just explore the range of slopes you've unlocked at your own pace. Choose whether to snowboard, sled or use the snow mobile and head right back up to the top of the hill. As you travel down the hill, you'll stumble upon challenges. Simply press the X button to find out what they are and start them to begin building up your stock of medals and cash. There is a story built into these challenges and the next part of the story is unlocked once you've achieved the required number of points. All completely laid back, fair and ultimately fun! The control system is intuitive and all of the tricks are available to you from the outset.
Ok, it doesn't show console off in terms of graphics, but it has a playability that is sadly lacking in most of the launch titles I've played. Well worth a go.

One of the first games i got for my 360, i couldn't wait to shove Amped 3 in the machine and get gaming. I was impressed with the feature that lets you create the unique look of your character (male or female) by changing tops, trousers, boards, bindings, hair, the list goes on. Then i excitedly chose a drop point on the first maountain, and sped down the mountain, amazed by the way the snow powders behind you and the graphics in HD in general are just brilliant. The music is good, with 300 tracks to choose from, but i nevertheless put on my own music. There are endless story missions, of varying difficulty, and are great fun until they.. well....end. Then there are the REALLY neverending side and bonus missions, which go on forever, letting you unlock new gear and tricks. These side missions are great fun and as they are in such an abundance, they give the game a long and lasting life. I enjoyed the fact that more points could be acheived by executing tricks slowly and with style, unlike the ridiculously disorientating prewinds that occur in the SSX franchise. Another final point that needs to be noted, is the sheer size of the game in general. It features 7 mountains, the first three of which have 3-4 huge areas. then there are the last 4, which are smaller but just as enjoyable. Each mountain focuses on different aspects, like the penultimate mountain, which focuses on jumps, and the peaks of the first three mountains, which are ideal for "carving".
FINAL RESULT ; AMPED 3 = 9/10
Thanks for reading, Joe.

BR>Firstly, I found the game initially a bit of a disappointment. The graphics are great, the best ever in a snowboarding game but, unlike ssx, there are no races- just various challenges as you meander down the mountains. The thing is though, once you get your head round the structure of the game it gets a lot better. You complete a number of challenges and the story progresses and you face more, tougher, challenges and so on.
I finally completed the story mode after a couple of weeks, but be warned that some of the final challenges are very frustrating. They are possible though, so keep trying!
Even then though, there is still loads to do as you go back and do the challenges that you missed previously or get that elusive gold medal-it really is a massive game!
To sum up then, once you get into this game it does grab you and wont let go til you have completed all the challenges and stoked (or impressed) all the others on the mountain. Just give it a chance!

Fun, amusing, plenty to do
Unlike the more straighforward approach of the original, Amped 3 heads for a more SSX-like direction, with emphasis on silly characters, crazy moves & tricks, big mountain areas... Read more
