Snowboarding on the 360

User Rating: 7.5 | Amped 3 X360
Ok, first off, I wasnt interested in this game what so ever, i only got it because it was on a deal. I really didnt think much of it, I played this for the first time, I have to say its surprisingly good. I am an SSX lover from the ps2 and psp, and its quite different to amped 3. It has a good, solid single player mode, in which you can do the story, or just snowboard on the mountains. Unfortunately, there is no multiplayer what so ever, except the odd co-op challenge found along some mountains, but there are only 2-3 of these, all the rest are single player. The challenges include getting a certain amount of items on the challenge course, also theres some sledding ones. At any point in the career, you can sled down the mountain, or get your snowmobile, and can even go up the mountain with that. There are 8-10 mountians that you unlock whilst going through the story. The story is really 'whacky', its so hard to describe, you really have to play it for yourself to know what im talking bout. The story lasts quite some time, so you wont be disappointed. At the start of the story mode, you create a character, and get to customize him/her. And the story will last maximum 8 hours. The graphics are probably the nicest on a budget game, they are really sharp and clear. After you complete the story, you can just snowboard, sled and snowmobile on any mountain. Acheivements wise, this game has pretty easy acheievements, you will get 500 points in one playthrough by just doing the story, and the other 500 are just free boarding and impressing onlookers, but honestly, this is the only thing that might make you play it again after you have done the story, there are just so many good games that are better than this, that this wont be played for sometime. The last time I played it was 3 weeks ago, and it hasnt been in my xbox since. Still, this game is very good for its price, i recommend it to anyone that wants a cheap, solid game.
