Release Date: January 5, 2016
A re-edition of the classic music game for PlayStation 2, one of the first productions of Harmonix, the creators of the Guitar Hero franchise, as well as the Rock Band and Dance Central series. It was developed thanks to a successful fund-raising campaign on Kickstarter. Amplitude combines typical music game features with elements of a 3D space shooter.
Amplitude is one of the first productions from Harmonix, the creators of the Dance Central series. It is a rather unusual title, which may seem like a typical space shooter at a first glance. What is interesting, the PS4 and PS3 re-edition was developed more than ten years after the initial release of Amplitude for PlayStation 2, being an independent game that came to life thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.
The basic gameplay mechanics remain unchanged. It is still an original title in which you sit in the cockpit of a spaceship called Beat Blaster that races through musical cyberspace on a track that reflects the rhythmic notation of a song. By pressing the right buttons in the right moments, we get our instrument to emit sound (e.g. vocals, guitar, drums), and then proceed to another line to do the same. The gameplay is both spectacular and dynamic, and on higher difficulty levels, it makes even the most hardcore players break a sweat.
Much like the PlayStation 2 original, the enhanced edition allows you to play both solo or in a “local” multiplayer. Online leaderboards are also featured. As far as performance is concerned, Amplitude for PS4 and PS3 runs at 60 FPS.
Amplitude for PS4 and PS3 offers enhanced visuals powered by a modified graphics engine that Harmonix used in their latest productions. The controls were also changed. Obviously, the game also comes with new music, although the majority of the available songs were composed by the developers exclusively for this game. It was explained that such a production needs a soundtrack that perfectly matches the gameplay. Nevertheless, licensed songs were not completely abandoned; however, the budget limitations did not allow us to get as many of them as in most Harmonix games.
