  1. Whereas most types of gamers are likely to enjoy "SSX 3," only those with an interest in snowboarding will fully appreciate Amped 2.
  2. Ignore the tutorial if you can help it, it’s a great way to get your hopes down instead of building them up.
  3. This is a great online experience!
  4. Factor in the need to half-push the left stick and left and right triggers in order to get style bonuses, and you can see why intuitiveness completely disappears.

    I love this game. Can be frustrating at times trying again and again at challenges, but because it has official pros, videos and all the extras this game is SICK! Expand
  2. Still the best realistic snowboarding game to date! (It's 2012). Why? Amped 2 does right with providing actual landings and probably jump cheese-wedges that makes the game realistic feeling compared to those other snowboarding games that build massive jumps to flat landings. The game may be dated, but the gameplay, the controller setup, and the way the game functions is incredible for a game made in 2003. It's fun, addictive, and will have you replaying it until the year 2012. Until, someone decides to build the "skate" of all snowboarding games. Until then, Amped 2 still beats SSX, Amped 3, and so forth. Expand

    Sorry, but SSX is, and always has been, more fun. Amped isn't without its merits, but I just didn't get into it as much.

    This game is so unexciting and hard to control that it hurts. Graphically I expected so much because this is an XBox exclusive made by microsoft, but EA's SSX3 for my PS2 even looks better (and if funner). Expand
