Game Reviews - Indews

That was a classic episode of The Simpson’s. There’s one thing that isn’t classic, though. Amped 3 is a steaming pile of crap. I usually wait until the end to say this, but I’m not going to waste your time. Unless you have nothing better to do, do not read this review. Just stay away from the game.

Story? Yes, there was an attempt at one, but studies show that comedians would make bad teachers. The writers for this game were so busy trying to be funny that they forget to make an interesting plot. The thing is that it’s disgustingly not funny. I make funnier noises on the john, and I’m not the type to laugh at fart jokes. I’m sorry, but this game is just sickeningly not funny. You’ll be lucky to make it through one cut scene.

Graphics are probably the best thing in the game, and let’s just say that they don’t push the power that the 360 gives us. There are games with worse graphics on the system, but they still aren’t very good.

Game play is almost as bad as story. You snowboard, you do tricks, and that’s it. The rest is old video game references telling you what to do on your current mission. It’s another very annoying attempt at comedy. Oh, by the way, your first goal is to ski in a bunny suit.

Sound effects are pretty good, but the music is terrible. It’s nothing but main stream crap rock. When will video game developers learn that they can’t just put in music for their target audience? Mix it up. Give the average gamer something to listen to regardless of their taste in music.

2K Sports, what were you thinking? If you plan on developing a fourth game in the series, scrap everything from this game and start from scratch because this game was awful. Also, hire someone with a good sense of humor because five years olds could come up with a name like Weiner Boy. This game is nothing but garbage. Do not buy it unless you need an expensive skeet target.
