Frequency

You can keep your 2D cartoon dogs?Frequency offers musical gameplay for the older crowd.

Frequency has the look of Tempest 2000, the gameplay of PaRappa, and the soul of a DJ. The goal of this abstract music game is simple: Hit the buttons in sequence and in time with the rhythms of the music. Mind you, those beats are streaming down a 3D tunnel, which you must rotate to ?capture? different song elements (drums, vocals, etc) and assemble a song. You can?t look at the geometric, pulsating, rave-worthy backgrounds or you?ll miss a cue, but your friends watching over your shoulder will tell you how gorgeous and psychedelic the visuals are.

The dance music?including Fear Factory, Chemical Brothers, No Doubt, LoFi Allstars, and many more?is surprisingly diverse, and the controls respond well (and show you precisely where and when you?re off the beat). With a four-player mode and user-created remixes, the replay value goes through the roof. Innovative, non-violent, fun, and trippy, Frequency?s a keeper for music fans.
