I loved Amped 1.  I thought it had a high replay value due to its lenghty career.


2 or 3 years ago, I rented Amped 2 over XMas break, and I was blown away by the length of the game.



Now, I know that Amped 3 doesn't have Live features (except for scoreboards), and I've read that the levels are twice or even thrice as big as those in Amped 1 and 2.


So I wanted to know, how long is the career mode in Amped 3?

How would you judge the length of Amped 3 in relation to the length of its predecessors' career modes?


Thanks!

Well its very very short with a ridiculous story plot. Any and all realism has been erased from career developement. Not at all like 1 or 2 which took you time to learn how to be a virtual boarder. Its 2 steps back in terms of developing your player and how you control thier movements. As with 1 and 2 you contol the directions of spin and flip where as in amped 3, a button combination auto preforms the trick instead and auto lands it. Try it out but IMO its quite insulting to the sport of snowboarding and not what Amped started out from

I think that it isn't like either of the first two games very much.  so it is really hard to say.  They changed the controls so that if you press up, you do a front flip, and vice verse.  and if you press left or right, you do a 180 that way.  Although you have to hold them to do more than that, it takes a lot of the fun out of the game in my opinion.  although it makes up for it in other ways.  ("  style is also easier to get, it does not diminish if you stop doing your stylish trick, it just stays with the regular points.  although landingsare still important.  All in all, it isn't a bad game.  ("

It is fun, but, i am just hoping that we get a new more realistic snowboarding game someday soon

I played through Amped 1 & 2, the only time I've played 3 was in an EB Games where they had it on demo.

I pretty soon decided I hated the game, for it was no longer the true snowboarding game that I'd loved the last two for being, it had become...SSX... Naturally I was heart broken and ever since then wished some company would correct this injustice, playing Amped 2 whenever I felt like virtual shredding....then EA Skate came along...the possibilities came flooding into my brain. All I could say was " Damn I wish they'd make a snowboarding game this good ".

Let's sign a petition to get EA to make a new snowboarding game. If anyone from EA is reading this I've got video game experience I'll sign up to help out!

 

Umm, well I already started a thread in the SSX forum kinda implying EA needs show up 2k sports for a realistic snowboarding game . Go read it and add something to it. Last time I checked its been pretty much ignored by the community there

Amped 3 isnt all that short (but very easy) if you do each media shoot and challenge beyond the story. For a novice player it could be a longer game if he/she wanted to get gold on each challenge, and for the current price of the game, you can't go wrong.

After playing alot of Amped 1 and 2 I was excited to hear they were comming out with Amped 3 for the 360. Bought the game and really disliked it. Amped 1 and 2 were great in the fact of realism and difficulty but 2ksports made the title more of a ssx/unreal game. the controls are terrible and the story is like the developers were on shrooms.

The only cool thing was that the graphics are awesome and the levels are totally true to the real-life ski/snowboard resorts. Snowboarding at Northstar for a day to then come home and play the same mountain in the game was very cool!

Overall, if you loved amped 1 and 2 I would say dont bother with Amped 3. if you are new to the series you might enjoy amped 3.
