Amped 2
Overall: Amped 2 is a well thought out snowboarding game with the best elements of numberous other games all rolled into one, all this makes for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Gameplay: The trick system is very good, the only thing im having trouble adjusting to is the way the flips are reversed if you land the opposide way as you took. For example taking off in switch and landing in regular, when you attempt to level the boarder out you'll end up going the wrong way. Thats more down to my skill though than the games fault. Theres lots to keep you busy and a good replayability value in the game, the multiplayer aspect looks very good although I am yet to try this out.
Graphics: Amped is a graphicly good game, theres no slowdown what so ever in the gameplay, which can't be said for the ssx series. The motion is fluid and there's a true feeling that you are plowing through the snow at breakneck speeds. There is no noticable popup, even when you jump off the edge of a cliff you can see for miles with zero slowdown.
Audio: The sound and music suits the game well, the ambient noises of other boarders and rail grinds all sound right, when you fall off you're board there is re-assuring thud as you're rider hits the deck. The custom soundtracks is a nice addition, so you can ride down the slopes to you're favourite tunes.
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
