Example: while jumping off of a large ramp, one would think that performing the basic tricks like the degree turn would be one of the game's easier tasks. Instead, you must time your landing or crash and burn.
In games like Coolboarders or SSX , if you perform a spin or flip, the game automatically adjusts your character back to the correct landing angle, provided you could complete the trick in the given time. In Amped , you must steer the character to the correct angle to successfully land a trick. While some purists might say that this is a more accurate depiction of snowboarding, I cry foul. If the game requires you to score insane amounts of points in order to complete a level and move on to the next challenge, it's got to be easier to control.
The challenges are already there. Poor controls shouldn't be another one. On the lighter side, the game also has some interesting and unique features. One is the media exposure that each player must learn to exploit. Since the locations are teeming with photographers, it's in the player's best interest to perform a cool stunt while in focus. Since some of the games challenges require you to score a specific amount of points for the media, hitting your best stuff is paramount.
An example of a media challenge would be to score 50, regular points and 20, media points. Sure, you might score the 50k, but unless you pulled off a really kick-ass grind in front of a photographer you might not score the 20, points needed to advance. Luckily, each run gives you ample opportunity to get the big score. Another plus was the very accurate depiction of a real life snowboarder.
Equipment is all genuine looking and the design of some of the boards looks great. Plus, as you claw your way up the ranking system what rank you are in the world , potential sponsors will appear and request that you complete a run of their choice performing tricks that they like.
Some sponsors want to see big air tricks while others might want to see a lot of grinds. The challenge is to complete the run with the meter at the top of the screen filled all the way to "Amped. Doing tricks on these "sponsor" runs that don't agree with the sponsor's wishes will drop the meter down.
And, of course, so does wiping out and smacking into trees. Amped features over 1, tricks to learn and master, some of which can be so thumb-spraining that I'd be surprised if I ever met any one who could perform them all.

It's hard, but once you get used to it, it goes well with the feel of the game. Also, the developers of Amped 2 made a good nod to game design by using 'style', where you spin slowly to gather massive points, making your trick look cool in the process. All in all, the best tips I could give someone just starting is to be careful of the trick system.
You're not playing the same way you'd play SSX, so anyone making a transition from more arcade play games is going to have an adjustment period. Focus on pulling off one spin starting out, and don't plan on making a quad spin in this game. Get used to the controls, practice a lot with them, and you'll have a satisfying experience on your hands. Oh, and one last thing, ignore the tutorial if you can help it, it's a great way to get your hopes down instead of building them up. Browse games Game Portals.
