XBOX Exclusive

XBOX Exclusive.com: XBOX Reviews: Amped Review When Microsoft announced they were making a snowboarding game for Xbox people were a bit skeptical to say the least. First shown at this years Gamestock, Amped showed promise but was bashed right off the bat when it was revealed that the screen shots of the game that Microsoft released on the net were pre rendered and not real time gameplay. There was a lot of doubt that the actual gameplay would look as good as the concept art, but all of that would be cleared up a few months later at a little show called E3. Shown in fully playable form, Amped quickly put to rest any doubt about the games graphics and the power of the Xbox for that matter. Even in its early state, Amped didn't just look as good as the concept art but many times better, proving the people over at MS knew what they were doing. Looks play a big role in a game but what really matters is how it plays and that is were everyone was surprised. Even at E3 it was fun to play and showed off some really promising gameplay ideas that no other snowboarding game had done before. Amped was not without flaws though, there was a good bit of slowdown, some big time clipping problems and a bit of pop up and some control problems. The big question was would Microsoft be able to fix these things and get it cleaned up and playing like the game they were hyping it up to be? Well after spending the last few days with the final version I can now answer that question with 3 words...Oh Hell Yea!!
