    Frequency surprised me. I bought it because I figured it was the next best thing to dance dance revolution, and this game almost supasses DDR. The soundtrack is one of the best ever. The gameplay is some of the most addicting ever. The remix mode is one of the most innovative gameplay features ever. You need to go out right now and buy this game (if u haven't already).

    This game lets you get more involved with the music. More then any other dancing game could offer. This is by far the best dancing music game next to it's predecessor, amplitude.

    This may be one of the simplest games i'v eever played. there are 3 buttons, and each has to be pressed at specific times as shown by an indicator on the screen. the button puches are synchronized with the music beats to give the illusion of creating the music. let me just state right here that the music in here absolutely rocks. it's not my fav genera but that doesn'tThis may be one of the simplest games i'v eever played. there are 3 buttons, and each has to be pressed at specific times as shown by an indicator on the screen. the button puches are synchronized with the music beats to give the illusion of creating the music. let me just state right here that the music in here absolutely rocks. it's not my fav genera but that doesn't matter b/c the tunes are so happenin' (haha, after using that word you'll probably just discount my coolness and music tastes). listening to the wicked music is what makes the experience worthwhile even under such a simplistic premise. likely the best part is the 4 player multi play (assuming you have the 4 player adaptor and 2 extra controllers... not a great purchase with the ps2 and it's 4 player game selection). 2 player is still sorta fun though. although again it's not very complex. slightly more so than the single player game however. in sum, it's a nice game if you are a big music game fan. i'm not sure i'd recommend it to anyone who isn't though simply b/c it's too simple. … Expand

    the game is so damn addicting you won't believe it! at first i thought "how could one beat that game at 'normal'? that's so incredibly fast - you can't push THAT quickly". well now i've played through it on expert (incl. all bonus songs) and still play it just out of fun. the songs are so great that even score hunting is fun. this game never stops surprising the game is so damn addicting you won't believe it! at first i thought "how could one beat that game at 'normal'? that's so incredibly fast - you can't push THAT quickly". well now i've played through it on expert (incl. all bonus songs) and still play it just out of fun. the songs are so great that even score hunting is fun. this game never stops surprising you - or rather you'll be surprised by yourself while you're pushing combinations you never thought you could do... and i'm talking of really MAD combinations here ;)… Expand

    This game is nothing less than amazing... If _ANY_ game has replay value, this is it. Not only that but it's incredibly challenging, fun, and good to impress people with. On top of all that, it's an incredible game by all standards and should not recieve lower than a 9 or 10 on ANYONE's review, if they've actually played it.

    I originally got this game as a demo on the network adaptor setup disk, after beating the 4 songs of the demo and playing with the remix a couple times, I figured I'd go ahead and buy the full version, it is truly an addictive game, online play is awesome, you can play with people that have a high ping time, and there is hardly any lag.

    This game is crazy awesome. People looking for a new game to overcome boredom should definately pick this one up. I am hoping for a sequal.

    All you do is press buttons in sync with the screen while crappy dance music plays. The button presses aren't very related to the beats or rythm of the music. I could see the game appealing to someone who likes dance music a lot, and isn't normally into video games. But then, getting a dance mat and dance dance revolution would be a much better decision.

    I've played this game way back when it came out and now again in 2021. For any retro lovers Id recommend this game it's rather timeless and well done. The games sequel though, Amplitude, in my opinion is a better game though. Although this game is great it was kicked up a notch in Amplitude. This games track channels were improved in that game as were the general sound effects and I reallyI've played this game way back when it came out and now again in 2021.

Although this game is great it was kicked up a notch in Amplitude. This games track channels were improved in that game as were the general sound effects and I really prefer all the songs in Amplitude vs this game which went safe with what just seems good rhythm music but doesn't have as much wow factor. Overall this is still a very strong game.… Expand

    A simple but challenging rhythm game with unique gameplay and one of the best game soundtracks ever.

    If you don't have the patience or your dedication level doesn't extend past that of the average mule, then you'll probably want to skip out on this game...here's yet another excellent title that'll probably be overlooked by 90% of the gamers out there.
