Gameplay Hints:
Get a Job, Kid After you've finished that report for your boss on "Ways to Improve Productivity by Crushing Morale," it might be time to live vicariously through your alter ego. The game's Career mode allows would-be pros to start a career as a promising shred star. After you've covered the basics in the extensive tutorial mode, the game immerses you into the world of a snowboarding professional. The arcade tricks are there, but aside from linking combos and styling for the snow bunnies, there are more pressing matters at hand (such as paying the rent). To advance your career, you need to look sharp for the camera. You'll see spinning camera icons hovering over selected jumps and rails. These are locations where bystanders and potential fans take shots. The more people you win over and the more tricks you accomplish, the more trails and challenges you unlock. Aspiring film students and snowboarding scouts will be watching your moves, so look alive!
Living for Free After you've finished unlocking every slope and challenge, it's time to take a break from your new career as a role model and spokesperson and blow off some steam. Free Ride mode lets you hone your skills by practicing tricks at your own pace. Time limits are off, so have fun with it. Explore new trails, find those elusive snowmen, and work on your combos. Mastering the butter to create your own tricks is essential to racking up the score, so take your time and do it right. When you've covered every inch of powder, tuck those skills into your bag for later. There's no rush, so kick back and hang out with the "little people."
Whether you're living the life as an X Games star, or just tooling around the slopes wreaking havoc, there's more than one way to enjoy Amped 2. Earn your fame, but don't forget to take a vacation now and then.
