Frequency (Sony PlayStation 2, 2001)

Frequency is quite simply one of the simplest, but most addictive games of all time. Anyone who enjoys playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band should know that this is the game that started it all. To be fair, it does contain a high percentage of house/techno music compared to the more rock heavy fare of the most recent interpretations of the music-game genre. When I say it is a simple game, do NOT confuse that and take it to mean easy. Frequency is most certainly NOT an easy game. In fact, I would wager that it is quite a bit more difficult than any guitar-based rhythm game to date. It requires almost perfect timing and rhythm to accomplish even the moderate difficulty levels and will most likely take you quite a months if not a year or more to complete all the difficulty levels and songs. If you're looking for top-notch HD graphics, this is not the game for you. If you're looking for unique, addictive gameplay with almost infinite replay value, you can't go wrong with Frequency or it's sequel, Amplitude.

It is a game the kids had been searching for and could not find anywhere because of its age, until I looked on ebay where I found a few and at a very good price.

Frequency was made before the whole Guitar Hero phase, and in my opinion had a better choice of music and made for the music not necessarily for the interaction.

I recommend frequency to anyone who loves electronic, drum and bass, jungle, techno, types of music. GREAT GAME!

I am not even a music person and i like it! The intense gameplay would make any gamer happy and has a difficulty level for gamers of different experience levels. This game is hard on the fingers at first, but once you find your comfort zone, it is very fun!

Its basically like a prequel to Guitar Hero which is pretty cool. The songs are oldies but goodies. hey brng back younger memories. Game play and graphics are not as good as todays guitar hero, but they are great for the age of the game. I'd recommend it to the guitar hero player.
