Amped 3 is one weird-ass game
Anybody else playing this? I've only just started, but Weinerboy's claymation show was enough to make me post something.
The game underneath all the oddities plays a lot like the other Ampeds.

I loved Amped 3. I never carded for snow boarding games before. (Tried and truely hated the original Amped) I finished all the challanges and got all the achivements except for the Surpreme Snow God one. The media grabs were too hard for me. I got bronze on most of them and gold on just about everything else.

I've found it extremely entertaining, myself, though I have a hunch it'll get too hard by the 3rd or 4th mountain for me.
There are some challenges I just dread (kitty glitter is always a big pain for me), and I'm getting closer to just accepting bronze on some challenges and moving on.
But I found the quirky humor very entertaining. Interesting artistic choices, too, not just extreme for extreme's sake (or at least not usually).

It doesn't get harder. The challanges just get a bit longer, requiring you to chain more stunts in a row but it never gets hard. Just about every event, even on the last mountian you can get bronze in the first try. If you try to get gold, then the difficulty ramps up. The only controller throwing mopment I had was with the magic circles. There are some magic circle challanges that you have to play over and over since you can't see where some of the circles are and you have to make a course correction before you see them.

I let my 5 year old son play it. The roughest line in there is when a girl tells a guy to "stop looking at my butt." That only happens once.Misguided wrote:How is the language/content on this one? I have a 9 year old that might really enjoy something like this but I keep a fairly tight reign on what I expose him to.
The humor is likely to fly right past kids. Its aimed directly at Gen X who grew up in the 70s and 80s.

Well shit, all of that stuff went over my head. I thought that Weinerland might be a joke aimed at those of us who watched Gumby and Davey & Goliath (and other shows of that ilk), but since then I've just thought the humor was aimed at kids. I'm going to play it again tonight and see if I appreciate it more with this knowledge.
Incidentally, is the Doug Henning thing confirmed, or is that just who you think it is?
