    Default amplitude - AWESOME! until I got bored with it

    Just bought the game for $3.50 cause of multiple recommends from lots of gamers.

    WOW was my intitial response. Great graphics. Great gameplay. Neat concept.



    But 2 hours later I found myself bored. The music does not appeal to me and the game felt repetitive. Looks like another candidate for ebay.

    I really liked that game until the amount of button presses were too many and I could not keep up because of the button configuration.

    Yeah, everyone said amplitude was SOOO much better than frequency. I played them both for more than a few hours, and they seem EXACTLY the same to me.

    A custom controller MIGHT go a long way in helping this game, but I'm not sure.

    Shoulder buttons are your friends.

    I love the Frequency & Amplitude games. They introduced me to Freezepop, so they are automatically worth having on that count alone.

    Shoulder buttons are the only way you can play. One button per finger, you CANNOT do it with a thumb alone. I *still* get a chuckle when I introduce people to the game and they say they'll prove me wrong and it's possible to play the game with square, triangle, and circle.

    They play a few rounds, get used to the easy songs, then I toss them up to one of the harder ones (still in easy mode though). They toss the controller back my direction and tell me I'm right.

    I usually used L1, X, R1 from what I remember (left finger, right thumb, right finger.)

    Would have been eseir with three big buttons, and moving with your foot or something. OK, I don't have the track switching figured out, but three big buttons to smack would be nice.
