Author's Review

I just recently picked up an XBOX, and the first game I bought was Amped.

First let me say that the graphics are stunning. Everything has a very realistic touch to it. For example, if you run into a tree snow falls off the leaves. Small details make a game in my opinion.

The soundtrack is also excellent, and if you don't like the ten albums that are included with the game, you are able to rip your own soundtracks to the XBOX's hard drive and listen to them while you play.

The levels in this game are massive. It gives a true feel to the game, just like you are actually out west boarding in the Rockies.

The one downfall this game has is its learning curve. I consider myself a seasoned gamer and it took me a while to get the controls down. If you are familiar with other games such as Tony Hawk or Dave Mirra you will find yourself trying to slip into that control scheme and end up very frustrated.

The one flaw with multi-player is the inability to go head to head. The king of the hill mode is pretty close though, and since this is not a racing game the lack of head to head does not take that much away from overall game play.

This game is a great purchase for your XBOX collection, once you get past the controls, the vast runs and overall realism bring together a very addictive game.
