Amplitude (2015) Review | GameRevolution

GR:

I owe the original Amplitude for the PlayStation 2 much, along with Rez and Dance Dance Revolution, for cementing my affection for the rhythm genre. Harmonix veterans will know of this lane-oriented game well before the developer became a household name with the Rock Band series and may even remember Frequency, which served as the predecessor for Amplitude as well as the spinoffs Rock Band Unplugged and Rock Band Blitz. This version of Amplitude, which is more of a reboot than the “remake” which it has been called, attempts to recapture that nostalgic feeling of synesthesia and in fact relied on it to raise over $800,000 dollars in its Kickstarter campaign back in May 2014. The result is a competent re-imagining of the original title with various aspects shifted around, for better and worse.
