Review: The selection of games for the Xbox is still quite poor, so after buying the few good games out there (Halo, Max Payne, etc.) I was at a loss on what to buy next. I chose Amped purely based on the graphics and a lack of a better choice. Let me tell you...

Pros: Excellent game play, great physics, awesome soundtrack, great single player or multiplayer game.

Pros: Graphics, Realism, Funny little Scrapbook items.
