    Why am I the only one who doesn't like this game? I loved Frequency so naturally I was jacked to get Amplitude. I got it....2 hours later had it beat on every level and was incredibly bored with it. What a let down. The new graphic additions were nice as well as the updated multiplayer mode...also slo motion was kinda fun the first few times. All in all it was way too easy.

I beat 90% of the levels my first time, had all bonus songs unlocked and decent scores on each song all within about 2 hours. Boooooo. If you liked Frequency or lack even basic grade school beat than by all means rent it before you buy.… Expand

    This game is awesome. period. remix mode is better on frequency, though, and theres no jukebox. besides that, it rules.

    This game is incredible. I had a friend over and we played all night and the next morning he woke up, turned my PS2 on and told me he had to play because he was dreaming about the game in his sleep. Be warned though, this game is ADDICTING. I mean, I HATE some of the music in here but I still love the game, which says a lot about the gameplay. And not to sound like a Burnout, but hitting This game is incredible.

    This game rocks! (pun intended). It is 2010 as I write this and I'm puzzled because even though this game came out in 2003 it is the first game I'm rating as a perfect 10. It has been a while since I played this but I honestly can't remember anything at all that bothered me about this game and I remember really enjoying it from start to finish.

It has been a while since I played this but I honestly can't remember anything at all that bothered me about this game and I remember really enjoying it from start to finish. Graphics, gameplay, design, controller mapping, replay value, online, unlocking, remixing songs. At no point in any area of the game could I find any flaws. I started to replay in 2009 and also enjoyed just as much as when I first picked it up. It is so well done and fun it is still worth looking for and picking up, but unfortunately the online aspect has been terminated. It's till a 10 offline only anyway though. Now that it is 2010 I'm really glad to own this because although I don't mind rhythm games, I'm not enough of a fan of them to pretend to play them with a fake guitar controller such as with guitar hero.… Expand

    A great, exciting, and fun game. I wish it had better music, though. Get this game. It's extrememly addictive, and better than Frequency.

    It was fun for a couple months but it eventually will get boring...Especially since I beat it in 2 months time!

    Nunca he sido de jugar juegos de música , pero Amplitude me pareció un juego tan bueno y disfrutable como un juego normal . Muchos estilos musicales , los niveles todos bien hechos y genial para hacer mesclas y divertidisimo para jugar con amigos en combates musicales .

    Nothing but simple, addictive fun. [May 2003, p.68]

    The way that Amplitude is structured lends itself more to good reflexes, the memorization of patterns, and concentration rather than simply a good ear for music.

    Graphically, Amplitude is as trippy as some of the songs it features.
