First let me start off with the pros and cons. Pros: Just about anyone can play it; huge mountains to conquer; impressive soundtrack; lots to do; offbeat sense of humor Cons: Incredibly simplistic gameplay; ho-hum graphics; has nothing in common with the previous two Amped games Missing from amped 3 is the online gameplay. Whereas amped 2 you could hop on and challenge people across the world, now there is just an online leaderboard that ranks your best scores with others. Simply put, thats all the online there is. Kinda sad, I know. The graphics are extremely better and the physics is smoother. Riding in Amped 3 feels like your actually on the mountain. Helps if you have your 360 hooked up to a hdtv :) Overall, anyone can grasp the gameplay of Amped 3. It provides good amusement as some of the missions you must ride a sled down a hill and crash into everything possible to get the highest doctor bill possible. Also, it contains similar missions towards amped 2 as you impress photographers and beat pro's highscores on a run. Contains a story mode where you help out your friends on the mountain in weird missions and unlock near gear and attributes. Grab this title if you're a fan of the Amped series. However, dont expect it to be anything like the 1st or 2nd amped. Simply put, Amped 3 brings it's own stuff to the table. If your not a fan then you prolly wanna stay away and wait for another snowboarding title.Read full review
Amped 3 is a pretty old xbox360 game. It came out the same year the new system had arrived and I'm pretty sure it was a launch game. The graphics are definitely not on par with what we've come accustomed to. If you can overlook some of these things you'll really enjoy it if you're a snowboarding fan. The story is just ridiculously entertaining and will have you laughing out loud. The trick system has been completely redone no longer are you doing tricks with the analog sticks a la amped 2, but more in a tony hawk style with the face buttons. I might have been one of the few who loved the original challenge and "realness" of the first 2 amped games. But it's not all doom and gloom the game is still entertaining. Although no longer feels like an amped game. With its crazy color palettes and crazy characters it feels more like SSX but of course SSX has a better trick system. The challenges in this game are varied from impressing the media with a certain type of trick they like to sledding down the mountain to see how many bones you can break. The humor is quite juvenile yet still entertaining. If you like snowboarding games or the first couple tony hawk games you'll definitely enjoy this game. Just don't go in expecting something totally revolutionary.Read full review
Loved this game when I was younger, but never played past the 2nd mountain because the disk was damaged and stopped working. I just wanted a working game that didnt have any problems caused by previous owners or use, and it works perfectly. I'm halfway through the game, and havent been disappointed yet.

Way, way, better than Amped 2. Tricky controls if you played Amped 2 though, the left analog is now for camera, not grabs, only tricky because I'm so used to the older game though. Besides that, the mountains are HUGE, and there is so much to do it'll keep you busy for hours. Graphics are good but keep in mind this is an older game so while not as nice looking as say Shaun White snowboarding, it plays way better. 300 or so indie tracks for the music isn't bad either and most are quite good. Definately well worth the money. A+++
Over all i would say that this game is good but not great. Its good because of the hilarious story mode and the amazing graphics. It is not great because the game is kind short and because there isnt online multipleyer, instead there is only leaderboards. I would recomend this game to buy only if u like snowboarding or skateboarding games. Other than that, i would recommend it to rent because u can get nearly all the achievements in 2 or 3 days depending on how much u play it. and that once u beat the game there is no need for it since there is no more online multiplayer. This is why the game is good but not great.
