  Amped 3 proves that a little personality can make for an awesome gaming experience. Under the wing of new publisher 2K Games, developer Indie Built has shaped Amped 3 into a ridiculously fun and funny example of snowboarding excellence that really doesn't feel anything like the earlier games in the series. Taking cues from other successful winterstick titles (coughSSXcough), Amped 3 also adds massive variety with lots of different snow-based activities.

  Those who actually enjoyed the rather punishing nature of the gameplay in the previous Amped games may be disappointed in the direction that Indie Built has decided to go with Amped 3. But the end result proves to be one of the most original and refreshing games in the Xbox 360 launch lineup.

  It's too bad Amped 3 plays so awkwardly, since there's really a huge amount of content here. You get a park editor, snowmobiles, sleds, tons of rider customization options, and a huge amount of terrain to board across. The soundtrack is great to listen to, some of the story sequences are really funny, but the gameplay and altered controls go a long way toward hampering the experience.

  6.0

  And for all its girth, I felt stifled by the structure - at least when it wasn't burying me in an avalanche of forced cool. If Jackass was a religion, this could be its bible, but it's not, which makes it much harder to defend Amped 3's lack of focus and all the little contradictions.

  5.5

  Alors qu'il avait une bonne carte à jouer dans le domaine de la simulation, Amped 3 se débarrasse de tout ce qui aurait pu le démarquer pour venir concurrencer SSX On Tour sur son propre terrain. Mais on ne devient pas le roi de l'arcade en claquant des doigts, et ce troisième volet ne fait que rompre le charme des précédents opus au profit d'une orientation qui lui fait perdre toute son identité.
