This game is horrible!

After getting demos of both Amplitude and Frequency I thought that this game is horrible. It deserves one star because of the great soundtrack. Other than, this game is horrible. I am more of an action, adventure, extreme sport gamer. This game has the WORST PLOT EVER! DDR is way better even though it isn't that great at least you get a workout. If you are going to spend your well-earned $40 dollars on this game it is the same thing as flushing $40 down the toilet. Why not just learn how to play an instrument, it is much funner. (Electric guitar and ALL of percussion is the best.) Any way, this game is the worst ever. Either that or Dark Summit but that's another review.

This is the sequal to Frequency. More bands in Amplitude then there where Techno in FreQ.

The only think that disapointed me about Amplitude is that there they dident mostly did place any great hit songs from the bands they had on there. Second problem is, is that It could use more songs and levels.

Online feature is cool because you can play songs a remix song on line up to 4 players.
You can get high rank if you score higher then other players to but there has been problems i heared about ranks droping when playing remixes. "I don't know why".

I recommend this the music fans and DJ's

Get your Freq on!!

Amplitude will be an instant hit. The second game from team Harmonix will rock PS2s around the world. With improved sound, songs, and looks from the first near perfect game Frequency; this toe tapping game will keep any music lover going and begging for more. Featuring music from Garbage, Weezer, David Bowie, blink-182, P.O.D., Pink and more! With 25 deep and challenging levels to play in solo games, remix your own songs, or take on up to four-friends in multiplayer games. Online music-making is finally here and offered only though Amplitude. Amplitude is a bound classic from some of the best music game programers in the world- Harmonix. They have done an amazing job crafting a game "To let everyone experience the joy of making music." Be sure to pick up your copy of Amplitude and rock on!!!

Only reason I love this game

Amplitude is a great game all around! I couldn't believe it when I seen Slipknot on the damn game! This game is crazy fun, and the replay value is very high! If you can tap your foot to a beat, then you can play this game! Getting to harder levels in the game will take mastering! Remember that! But while you are working on your skills you will lose track of time!

BEST GAME EVER

This game is going to be incredible. The only way to describe its greatness correctly is in the review of its predecessor "Frequency", this game is "digital crack" and once your hooked, you are hooked for life. This game never gets old, NEVER. Ive beaten frequency a countless number of times and there are still little nuances throughout every song that make playing this game unique everytime. Truly one of the greatest games ever made, and is the very best music based game out there, or that will be out there ever. Really this is a review for frequency but from what ive seen. Amplitudes presentation blows frequency's out of the water. And the songs are really great. if you havnt bought frequency you might as well buy it when you buy this. Both games have unique songs and are equally addicting.

Great Game Actually Gets Better

Amplitude is the sequel to the button-bashing hit Frequency. The first was addictive and fun, the only downside being the sometimes headache causing techno music. I've already played the demo for this game, and the music in this one rocks! You want to play again just to hear the song again! Oh yeah, and the game is more beautiful than ever, with an all new design that makes the game feel fresh and is still as addictive as the first! You have to try this game!

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!

I've been a long-time fan of the "Beatmania"/"Hip Hop Mania" arcade series. I crave music games, and there have never been enough good ones. "Parappa the Rapper" more or less defined the genre, but I didn't find it terribly satisfying.

Then Harmonix brought us "Frequency", and it was very interesting. Yet something intangible was missing from the gameplay.

Then came Amplitude, a sequel to Frequency. Perfect execution. Smashing graphics. Great songs. Easy for new players. Unbelievably challenging for experienced players. Multiplayer modes (both online and offline) are fabulous. This game is serious, unique fun.

Maybe you're holding out hope for a music-oriented game that doesn't leave you disappointed. Or maybe you've tried "Guitar Hero", developed by the same brilliant folks, and want more of the same sort of genius. Or maybe you're just looking for something different. If this describes you, look no further. Buy this game now!

not frequency - but close

i purchased both this game and its brother, frequency as gifts for friends because i knew how many hours of fun and addiction they both gave me. while this game shares many similarities with frequency it possesses a broader range of music (as opposed to mainly techno/electronic) which some may like or dislike.

on a game play level, amplitude abandons the 8 track circle for more of a shallow curve which provides a more "Guitar Hero x 8" feel. however, other than additional powerups, the only real difference worth noting is that amplitude makes you run the tutorial, with no way of blasting through it, to me, the forced 5 minutes of blah blah blah seemed like forever.

granted, if you've never played amplitude or frequency before, your best off running through it regardless

The most addicting game since Tetris!

Yeah, sure there's many great PS2 titles that will keep you busy for hours (GTA3: Vice City, Metal Gear Solid 2, FinalFantasy X), but this game will HOOK you. Take a bunch of well known songs: mix 'em, remix 'em, then allow the players to do it themselves. But wait, there's a catch. Just like in the classic games like Tetris or Dr. Mario, you will need some eye/hand cordination. No...try a LOT of eye/hand cordination. Also, it will take some serious mastery of various rhythms to get good at this game.

Coming from a musician's standpoint, this game is fun and challanging! But, even all of my non-musician friends get hooked with this game. The gameplay is very well done, and is like no other game. Try it.
