Amazing game. Sequel had more content but gameplay wasn't as seamless/chill and the OST wasn't as good. I have the 3rd but didn't play much, altered controls and different studio, just wasn't the same.

I know there are fans here. Let's show some love for this absolute masterpiece.

I'll be streaming it tonight and sharing stories of the drunken antics my buddy and I would have in 11th grade, playing this in his baller status basement bedroom while sniping drinks from his parents liquor cabinet. If you want to watch shoot me a PM and I'll send the link over. Don't want to whore my stuff to the general masses.

You definition of GOAT is rather broad.

Must not have played the game. That's a shame.

Besides capturing the vibe of snowboarding culture and bringing a sense of realism to a genre that was usually stuck in the arcades or arcade style in nature, the game also showcased the HDD capabilities by allowing impressive draw distance and seamless runs. It's like the snowboarding version of Skate before skate was a concept. The OST is absolutely God-tier as well. Just pure 'play at your own pace' videogame fun.

Man, I must be confused. I thought this was a videogame enthusiast forum.

Glad you realized you’re confused. The rest of us were too after this thread.

You missed your chance on 11/6.

This game ruled. Extremely chill and fun physics model. One of my favorite Xbox games.

OP, have you tried Shredders? It’s kinda similar and also great. I feel like I am the only person who ever played it.

Shredders is the most slept on game of 2022

Seriously. If you ever liked snowboarding games you should check this out. It’s so well done. I still play it daily. The animations are so clean. The sense of speed is great. The graphics are fantastic on PC. The map is huge with a ton of parks and fresh powder areas. You can fast travel...

I haven't but I'm glad you mentioned it cause it's been in the wishlist for a few months. I'll definitely get it sometime this winter.

It's just a poor man's 1080 Snowboarding, isn't it?

They probably never played it. I loved this game too bro. That guy telling you eat shit is such a cunty reaction to an innocuous thread about a very old game.

Everyone knows Cool Boarders was the GOAT snowboarding series.

I know right, lol.

The game is a freaking gem all day. I have nothing against SSX, 1080, etc. though I never really took to them myself, Amped was the snowboarding game I always envisioned as a kid. It's just damn fun and so easy to get into.

Appreciate the positive words and glad someone else enjoys the game as much as I do.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Loved Amped. Really cool Snowboard title. I thought the sequel was just as good. I played Steep not too long ago, and I thought it was a good time, def. could be fun with buddies.

I didn't think the game was great, but I do really appreciate that early Xbox game visual style. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but it looks so clean.

Regarding the game being great or not, what I've noticed over the years is that if you love SSX, Amped is whatever. If you weren't big on SSX, Amped was the go to. Total polar opposites but both are masters at what they do gameplay wise.

 

[fart town usa]

Some samples of the licensed OST. Has like 150 or so tracks. Can also rip MP3s to the HDD but I've always stuck with the on-disc OST.







So many more too, great blend of emo, indie rock, hip hop beats, etc.

Just messing with you. Found the GIF the other day and it was funny to find an opportunity to use it. No hard feelings.

What's wrong with saying it isn't as good as 1080? On the one hand you've got Wave Race on snow, on the other you have yet another Tony Hawk-style extreme sports trickfest.
