Amped

Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding is an immersive and expansive snowboarding game that kicked off a popular series, focusing on a more realistic, open-world style compared to its contemporaries. As a newly created rider, your goal isn’t just to race, but to build a career by tackling challenges on huge, real-world mountain resorts that you can explore freely from top to bottom. The entertainment here comes from mastering a deep trick system, performing stylish moves for roaming media crews and photographers to get your face on magazine covers, and earning sponsorships to become an international superstar. The game stands out for its massive indie soundtrack of over 150 tracks, and its focus on an RPG-like career mode where you level up your skills. If you’re looking for a challenging, freedom-focused snowboarding experience that values exploration and media fame, this is the original ride that started it all.
