Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding is an Xbox exclusive snowboarding video game. Upon its announcement the game was immediately met with derision due to one of the people in the Microsoft marketing department Photoshopped lens flares into what were Microsoft claimed, unintentionally passed off as screenshots of the actual game.
Amped is a snowboarding focused on the tricks, a la EA's SSX which preceded the game by over a year. The success of Amped was solidified by the successful launch of the sequel, Amped 2.
