Amplitude is a reboot of the critically-acclaimed controller-based rhythm action game developed by Harmonix and originally released in 2003 Amplitude features over 20 songs composed for an optimal beatmatching experience by Harmonix with contributions from Freezepop, Danny B, Jim Guthrie, and more. Many of the developers from the original game are actively working on the reboot. The new Amplitude will be treated like a classic, sci-fi concept album. There is a narrative that runs through the game and surfaces in many ways through the visuals, music and song lyrics. Players will speed down long, winding paths made up of the different musical elements of a song. Each track is differentiated with the musical sounds of synthesizers, drums, vocals, and bass. As players blast away the patterns of gems on these tracks, they release musical energy and recreate the hidden song within. Gameplay remains easy to pick up and difficult to master. Achieving a top score will be a challenge and therefore worth bragging about via online leaderboards. Amplitude supports up to four players locally. Challenge your friends and use devastating power-ups during frenetic multiplayer matches to secure your place at the top. Read less

I rmember the 03 version fondly. This one was....fine. Generic techno that I tapped my feet too but it didn't draw me in. Finished normal in 90 minutes? Happy I got it as part of PS Plus collection and didn't pay for it.

There is an audience that will love this game: creative types, rhythm game fans, electronic music fans, people that enjoy trance like game mechanics (similar patterns, again and again). I am not any of these.

A primera vista parece que el principal pitch del juego es que es un reboot del amplitude de ps2 que al parecer recibió buena crítica en su momento, Con respecto a las críticas de los medios... hay de todo. Destructoid le pone un 65~ y alguno le suelta un 9 pero vamos, lo de siempre.

A primera vista parece que el principal pitch del juego es que es un reboot del amplitude de ps2 que al parecer recibió buena crítica en su momento, Con respecto a las críticas de los medios... hay de todo. Destructoid le pone un 65~ y alguno le suelta un 9 pero vamos, lo de siempre.

En los videos que he visto por ahora no parece nada especial e incluso parece que tiene mecánicas que van un poco en contra de esa idea de conseguir llevar una inercia que tan importante es en los juegos musicales de este tipo, quizás lo compensan de alguna forma pero en lo que he visto hasta ahora parece un poco soso.

La música... para gustos colores, pero parece un poco repetitivo lo que he visto hasta ahora (poco).

Podría opinar mejor probándolo pero "muh exclusivos"
