Amped 2

**thegamepeddler** · 10-30-2003

I got it yesterday. It's been changed slightly. The rail system is different, plus there are lip tricks now, and the butter system of course to link tricks. I thought that might turn the game into one mindless combofest like Tony Hawk 3, but butter turns out to be too difficult and slows your boarder down too much to do it down the whole mountain. Still feels very realistic like the first. The graphics are better, there are a ton more modes and challenges and things to do. It's like Amped on speed.

What kind of music does it have,and can you play your custom soundtracks?

**Yankeez** · 10-30-2003

im pretty sure u can use ur own soundtracks

Have you had chance to try it over XBC yet? If so are both boarders racing at once or is it like a time trial turn based thing?

have you been under a rock? Soundtrack control is the thing that makes the entire series stand out.

The game comes with 300 indie tracks.

No. I have XBL, sooo....

But I did play 2 player on one machine, and you do race simultaneously this time instead of taking turns like in the first one.

Wow, 300 tracks....that's cool....i must admit...amped 2 looks really good....I don't think you can make a bad snowboarding game.

**ramprider0** · 10-31-2003

Wow I really have wanted to play Amped but forgot about it! Now that two is out should I just get two or do I really need to get the first one to understand the second one?

**thegamepeddler** · 10-31-2003

You'd be better off avoiding the first one because of the different rail system. There are also lip tricks and manuals that werent present in the first iteration. Lastly, the style points system changes the game quite a bit as well.

But, you know, after you're comfortable with #2, I'd still pick up Amped because it has some pretty decent runs.

From what I gather, this game is not that good. Could someone elaborate?

Ugunnalose · 10-31-2003

its good trust me its good. and if u have live its like twice as good

I'm not sure about buying. I have the first one, but it's not the best game ever. There aren't too many improvements over the original...just that Xbox LIVE capability has been added.

**l Maximus l** · 10-31-2003

I am a die hard fan of the first one...and I'm definately picking up Amped 2...no doubt about it!!!

I just have to wait a couple weeks, unfortunately

This is just flat out wrong. Nearly ever facet of the game has changed or been improved. Combine the new rails system with the butter system, and the style point system, and you wind up with a different game. This is not to mention all the new modes and challenges, plus simultaneous multiplayer on the same box. Then again you might know this if you actually owned it.

Is it possible to have guests on XBox Live? In other words, can more than one person play on the same XBox when accessing XBL?
