Amplitude

To those of you that have no idea what this game is like or how it works let me explain:
Your in control of what looks like a little ship (it's not a ship but that's the best way to descibe it) going along a road (it's not a road but that's the best way to descibe it), on the road is a song laid out in 8 different lanes, each lane controls a certain aspect of a song ie, vocals, guitars, bass enz. Using 3 buttons on the controller you must hit the beats at the right time. After completing the chain in one lane you press left/right and complete the chain in the next lane. Which will result in the resemblence of a song. You get points for chaining lanes together, the more you get without missing a beat the higher your multiplier gets.

What lets this game down though are the songs. There are some well known songs in it like David Bowie. But most of them have never been heard of.
Also after completing one difficulty you unlock the next difficulty which contains all the same...

THE GOOD:
Great concept.
Innovative.
Tests your reflexes.
Just one of the best PS2 games.
Some nice songs...

THE BAD:
...and some bad ones.
Overwhelming visuals.
Needs more songs.
Also needs ones that are more familiar to the general public.

SUMMARY:
Before I get into this fantastic game, I will attempt to describe what it does. You control a little ship that flies slowly along a musical highway. Each lane represents a different music type, such as drums, bass, vocals, guitar, etc. Along each lane are little capsules contaning bits of music. About 3 or more are connected by a neon strip. You must use your ship's blasters in the correct places at the right time to destroy the capsules. When you do, that music fragment will play. Complete a string and that part of the song will play for a while, allowing you to focus on other lanes. If you leave a part of a song too blank, your energy will...

General/Summary: I'm so impressed. Not only this is the sequel to Frequency, but it's also the best game on my most-wanted list. They put a combination of music genres such as trance, hip hop, rap-rock, house, electronic rock, and more. I'm a little disappointed because the songlist is 25 songs in one game, that's BOGUS! But the good news is that there's a great soundtrack mode where you can play the game's songs in original form. I love that. The graphics are sweet but too distracting when playing insane mode. The sounds of blink-182, David Bowie, Mekon (a familiar song of mine), Weezer, Pink, and returning artists like Freezepop, Akrobatik, Symbion Project, Komputer Kontroller, BT, and more. The remix mode is a nice break, you get to make your own mix of the song, change the BPM of the song, whatever. Just deal with the boredom of your creation and before you know it, you're done. The control is classic, Square, Triangle, & Circle. (Or L1, R1, R2 if you're using the triggers) The...
