Item Description

When the original Xbox launched, Halo grabbed the headlines, but Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding had the mountain. Published by Microsoft as part of the November 2001 launch lineup, it used the console's built-in hard drive to load an entire peak at once. Instead of funneling riders down a fixed race course, it drops you at the top of a resort and lets you pick your own line through trees, rails, kickers and drops, which made it feel far closer to a real day on the hill than to an arcade slalom.

Several of those mountains are modeled on real resorts, including Snow Summit in California, Brighton in Utah and Stratton in Vermont, alongside invented spots like the Alpine-flavored Altibahn and the Gunny's Gulch terrain park. Career mode is about reputation, not finish times. Photographers wait at key points on each run, and landing a trick in front of the lens earns media points. Sponsor reps each favor different tricks, so you tailor a run to impress them, and local pros challenge you to follow them down and match every jump with something just as big. Snowmen hidden across the slopes reward riders who explore, and the long game is climbing to the top of the national rankings.

The trick system asks for precision. Jumps fire on the release of the A button, the triggers handle lean and tweak, and the timing is strict enough that a clean landing feels earned. It is a more grounded take on the sport than the cartoon physics of its rivals, and Next Generation called it the first next-generation game to “get” what snowboarding is all about.

Then there is the music. Amped packs more than 150 tracks from independent punk, ska, reggae and hip-hop acts, sortable by genre, and it let players ride to their own music saved to the Xbox hard drive. Tucked into that library is the complete One for the Kids album by Yellowcard, a pop-punk band that went on to much bigger things, which makes the disc a small time capsule of early-2000s indie rock. The Not for Resale marking on this edition identifies a release meant for distribution outside regular store shelves, an unusual variant of a game that helped show what Microsoft's first console could do.
