A great snowboarding game with a short but very entertaining story. It has very quirky cutscenes and addictive gameplay.

A great addition to the series. Probably the best so far in the Amped line-up. Very good pick-up and play ability. Doesn't take a whole lot of time to get the controls down. The story is a bit on the short side, but what story there is, is very entertaining. Not extremely immerse story but all of the cutscenes are extremely wacky and different from the last. A great display of mixing up the style of the cutscenes. On the gameplay side it is pretty much your typical skating/snowboarding controls. You board around several mountains and when you find a mission you want to do, you stop and press X to do it. There are several different types of missions throughout the mountains and you earn money for doing them and achieving bronze, silver, or gold on each. You can also do co-op minigames where you are on sleds of various shape and size and your sleds are attached by an elastic band. You try to knock off your buddy from his sled before reaching the jump. Once you reach the jump you eject from your sled and fall, trying to see who can hurt themselves the most and rack up the biggest hospital bill. You can also pull out your earned sleds at any point in the game and try to rack up a hospital bill by yourself. There are also snowmobiles you can hop on at any point in the game. The soundtrack is amazing. I am a fan of a lot of the bands on the soundtrack already so I have a bit of a bias. But they have a lot of "underground" bands that are very good along with some bigger names. The visuals I find to be very very good. But I have friends that disagree. But they are agreeably a step up from previous gen in any case. Overall a good game but could definitely be rented if you don't plan on keeping it for a while.
