Title: drinky, what's so great about amped 2?
Post by: Himu on March 05, 2007, 05:33:35 PM

Tell me. Is it a realistic take on the sport or is it in the same vein as SSX?

I'm playing Tricky now and i'm just so taken in by it's awesome once again. Can it be found cheap?

It is a more Tony Hawk take on the sport -- it's not so much "realistic" (lol) as it is DEEP. It has tight controls, great course design/objectives, beautiful graphics -- probably the best powder physics in any snowboarding game -- and really polished mechanics. I love SSX Tricky/3 as well, but it's nice to have a game that isn't so loose and wacky and doesn't have the silly "racing" angle. It's the difference between 2Xtreme and Tony Hawk, really. It's easy to blow two or three hours in Amped 2 just perfecting a run.

If I had one complaint, it would be that doing "butters" to link tricks isn't super-intuitive, but once you master it: OMG SCORE

I heard Amped 3 supposedly has an FF7 parody in one scene and some really clever and messed up cutscenes... This intrigues me greatly...
