Hey, you don't have to hike on this

As snowboarding games on the 360 go, you don't have much to choose from. To date we have Shaun White or the aged Amped 3. At time of review Stoked hasn't been released, and even with a 3 year gap, Amped 3 is still the stronger choice of snowboarding in my opinion. Granted the graphics are not the greatest, but snowboarding games have usually been more about how good is the tricking, and overall enjoyability of the game.

The story on Amped 3 is bizarre at best. A tongue in cheek adventure that added pretty much nothing to the game except filler. Thankfully the game is not based too much around that other then unlocking the new mountains. When you get tired of shredding, you have the option to bomb around the mountain on a mired of sleds or snowmobile.

One nice feature to mention is the snowmobile, if you overshoot your mark for an event on the mountain, it is not a complete pain to get back to where you are going. The challenges are just that, and will test you on all vehicles, air, jib, spins, and even carving.

Now the game is usually found in the discount bin or as a rental, I definitely say its worth checking out if you are looking to spend some time this winter shredding on your 360 waiting for stoked to be released.
