# Stoked (video game)

Stoked is a snowboarding video game developed by Austrian-based Bongfish GmbH released for the Xbox 360 in 2009. It is the latest entry in the Stoked Rider snowboard game series. In 2009 an updated version, Stoked: Big Air Edition, which was also released for Xbox 360, and a Microsoft Windows version was released only for the PAL region in 2011.
It is the first game in the series to feature multiple mountains and real life sponsors. It also has real weather experience gameplay.

## Gameplay

Stoked features an adaptive system where the game recognizes "stylish" riding versus "hucker" riding; this affects the player's score if they are known for riding in one way. The original game features five different open mountains: Almirante Nieto, Mount Fuji, Diablerets, Mount Shuksan, and Alaska. Originally, the mountains are only ventured through set waypoints of a helicopter, but upon achieving a score of 50,000 points on a single run, the player will gain the helicopter license for that particular mountain, allowing them to designate their own drop points.

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. GameSpot noted "occasional unpredictable physics" but Stoked said it was "blast, and considering that this wealth of content is going for a bargain price, it's an easy choice for boarders looking for a virtual outlet for their shredding fantasies." IGN said that "touches like snazzy weather effects, cool challenges online and (eventually) in single-player [would] please the diehard boarders out there." In Japan, where the game was ported for release and published by Russel on January 28, 2010, Famitsu gave it a score of one six, two sevens, and one six for a total of 26 out of 40.
