Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding

A launch snowboarding game that, unlike over-the-top arcades, bet on a more believable approach. You ride real ski resorts, complete tasks, earn points for tricks and climb the ranking of professional riders. The emphasis on style and the atmosphere of snowy mountains made Amped a pleasant counterweight to its crazy competitors. It was one of the first games on the Xbox to use online features for sharing results and a solid part of the console's launch lineup.
