The proposed changes are, to be honest, a mixed bag - on the one hand, the press release for the game is eager to point out that EA is adding technologies that 'bring to life rich natural graphics such as snow that sparkles and blows in the wind and realistic character shadowing', as well as bunch of other things we couldn't give a flying tailgrab about.
Rather, it's the promise of a wide-open, go-anywhere mountain environment that intrigues PALGN most. When the surprisingly worthy Amped launched with the XBox just over a year ago, it became the first snowboarding game to offer the player an entirely open mountain to glide down.
