Open freestyle riding. Snowboard enthusiasts can forget miles of barren wasteland and tight tunnel races. Amped offers 1,500 jumps and rails on 80 wide-open mountain runs.
- Players can jib, bonk or spin between runs to hidden areas and cool jump sequences.
- Mountains are alive with crashing boarders, flying pros and roaming photographers.
Spectacular real mountains. Players can ride the runs on real mountain resorts: Utah's Brighton, Vermont's Stratton and California's Snow Summit.
- Premier snowboarding resorts are re-created with perfect snow conditions and jaw-dropping, built-for-Xbox graphics.
- Four international fantasy venues designed by world-renowned terrain architect Chris Gunnarson are ready for exploration.
Snowboarding media stars. Players vie for enough global exposure to become one of the world's snowboarding media superstars.
- Snowboarders have the chance to perform insane tricks in front of roaming photographers and camera crews to get their face on video and magazine covers.
- Players also can take on challenges such as "follow the pro" or jib the snow off trees to gain exposure and unlock mountains.
More music. Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding offers ten CDs worth of hot new indie music from pounding hip-hop to rhythmic reggae.
- The game includes over 220 songs from core indie labels.
- Players also can rip their own songs onto Xbox, make their own playlists and import them into the game.
More in-game choice for maximum replayability. Players make gameplay choices on the mountain, not in a menu of disconnected events. Snowboarders start at the top of a peak and decide how to win from there.
- There are hundreds of ways down each mountain packed with rails, kickers and half-pipes. Players take on 125 challenges, explore hidden areas and locate new spectators for a different ride every time.
- Gamers can design their own multiplayer sessions and make up the rules of freestyle competition.
