Summary

Amped® 3, like snowboarding itself, isn’t just about the sport. Sure, it all starts with riding huge mountains, finding seams through the trees in hip-deep powder, and tricking your cheeks off … which is why there’s an all-new physics engine, perfected controls, and the most authentic riding experience at some the world’s greatest winter resorts.

The soul of snowboarding, however, is all about style. So, in Amped 3, there’s incredible customization, a fat helping of boarding culture, and huge snowboxes loaded with killer gameplay. With a new ParkBuilder, insane, bone-breaking sledding, and snowmobiles for exploring, you can be who you want, go where you want, and do what you want.

Reviews

It's too bad Amped 3 plays so awkwardly, since there's really a huge amount of content here. You get a park editor, snowmobiles, sleds, tons of rider customization options, and a huge amount of terrain to board across. The soundtrack is great to listen to, some of the story sequences are really funny, but the gameplay and altered controls go a long way toward hampering the experience. Maybe if the next Amped were to go back to its roots in the next installation or even much closer to SSX, it would be better. As it is, the controls of the series are suffering from an identity crisis, and though there are tons of things to do, it's just not as exciting as it should have been to do them. IGN.com
