Snowboards = cool

Perry Johnson, Charger Staff

Bummed out because of the latest snow? Well, grab your board and hit the slopes with some of the coolest boarders of today in an older version of the X box game Amped.

While earning sponsorship and experience points through media coverage in the career mode is fun, if you just want to hit the slopes with the more experienced boarders, there is a quick play mode where you do not have to worry about making a fool of yourself while frantically learning the moves to compete in a career.
Here are some helpful hints for the game: to do a front-flip, press forward X; back-flip is just the opposite of the front-flip. Also keep in mind on the flips that the more air you get, the more points you receive. Front-flip/back-flip tail grab is achieved by moving the joystick forward then backward, plus X and A. Just keep in mind that repeating the same trick decreases the point value, so don’t be afraid to live a little and mix and match.

I rate this game a four out of five stars because the graphics are not as good as they possible could be.
