Anyone downloaded the Glamour Pack Add-In and can tell us what's included?

All I can fin on the net is there will be such and scuh number of boards, bindings, jackets etc. but I'd like to know if it's genuine kit or whether it's just more lame Ubisoft made up stuff.
 
i agree.. it would be nice to be able to ride in the game with one of the boards or bindings i actualy own... they could make it more like gran turismo where depending on what you choose actually does effect how it rides.

It's going to be more made up crap. Which is irritating. I suppose it would be too expensive to use all the major brands in the game. :dunno:
Ahh, that sucks, I would like to get my own board but hey ho'

I downloaded one of the other mountains, think it was the mile high one or something like that ... really fast park type mountain but it's pretty short, you can get some huge speed and points on it, 'specially when you got the focus powers enabled. Not many comps included though.
 
Just picked up the Target special edition for PS3 on sale for $39.99. The Target edition has another mountain and additional challenges I guess. After the reviews, I wasn't going to buy it at full price of $59.99 but the sale price is good enough to buy it and dick around with. I don't expect it to be a simulator nor a challenge laden skill game but just some mindless fun. Gonna play it now.
 
its cool to pay around on... the game itself isnt hard to just freeride so i like having a game that i can mindlessly and effortlessly roll around and do cool shit on.
 
Yeah, I've put a couple of hours into the game. It's pretty mindless fun...I'm one coin away from unlocking the Target mountain. I don't regret buying it...maybe it'll keep me occupied while I wean myself from the end of the season and maybe it'll get me further stoked as we approach next season. :D
 
LOL I don't know if anyone still cares but unlocking the Target mountain was a bit more annoying than just picking up coins. After getting the three coins you get to talk to Shaun who has a couple of challenges on the Target mountain. You get to complete the challenges as Shaun White...so you get sick air and speed and almost unflappable control. The first challenge is to get a minimum score off a big jump, bowl and some jibs...this was easy. The next part to unlock the mountain (to be able to select it anytime like the other mountains) is to complete 1080's off six different marked locations. This was annoying because if you fail to do a 1080 you have to try again...I don't know how many times I would freeride all the way down just to get on the lift to take me back. Got so tired of it that I would miss the jump, take off my bindings and then walk my ass up to the start point for the jump I missed. Finally accomplished it and the mountain is now unlocked.

The multiplayer game is fun though there aren't many hosted games...at most I'll see like three hosts. There are a multitude of challenges that you can host or be invited to...watch out for betting matches, I wasn't paying attention and lost quite a bit of money. LOL.

There are plenty of challenges to complete in the single player mode still. I'm probably less than 15% complete on the game though I don't know if I could be bothered to go through all of them.

Regardless, I think the $39.99 sale price for the Target Edition is well worth it for me at least. I also downloaded the free Ubisoft pack specifically for the Target Edition.

the game is kinda fun but gets boring really fast, the story mode is absolutly horrible and fake, you collect coins and get special powers its retarded. The physics in the game are really fake too and there isnt really any good gear in the game, but i guess its fun to mess around with during the summer when your bored
 
I picked up this game a couple days ago. Partly since it's so cheap now, and partly to get me even more psyched before my first snowboard arrives and I head to the mountain for the first time since I was 5.

The game has its flaws, for sure - the physics are highly unrealistic, you can land damn near anything (from any height), and the goals/activities are lacking in variety. But I'm enjoying it. I don't think it'll have the replay value of say, Skate / Skate 2, but it's the best snowboarding game I've played since 1080 Snowboarding on N64, so yeah, it's adding to my snowboarding buzz prior to heading to Mt. Ruapehu in July.

I have this game for PSP and love it...I only am missing 2 crowns in SP.

As for realism, wouldn't really know because Im not too crazy experienced yet (however it appears to border on silly)...but the controls are pretty fluid and you get used to them pretty fast. Objectives are based on all types of riding and since the maps are made for that it provides for a huge level of variability (read: replay factor = high).

There's a lot of stuff to do even in SP...haven't been able to get anyone around me into an MP game to see how that plays. I suspect the PS version is more involved.

All in all its pretty good. I'd recommend it.
 
i hope if they do make another game its much muchh better. the game play was okay and fun to dick around with but i want to leave a trail and slash pow and jumping/jibbing was pretty sweet except for landing glitches. stoked was a good game and had great controls but the fact that it was all backcountry with no option to buil jumps kinda sucked. id like to see a good all moutain snow game with controls like ea skate that has backcountry, park, moutain, and some sort of urban setting. having to choose where to put jumps in the backcountry would be fun along with park dlc or something

i have played this on ps3 and i have to say. its not that great... The graphics and stuff are good and you can throw snowballs at other people, but it only has something like 5 maps which get pretty boring after a while.

Your comment has been forwarded to the Stoked team. Thank you. They are listening to what your saying! And I'll just say this, more is to come quite soon with the game:D

Well I can't tell you now, but just keep watching all this month. I am an insider with Destineer and have direct communication with the Stoked team to relay comments and ideas to them. The guy who made Amped 2 (Tony Chiodo) is part of this and its going back in the direction of Amped 2 and beyond. So, needless to say Stoked is just getting started!
