Amplitude

In Amplitude, players experience the neurological treatment of a woman who is in a coma. As a result, all of the gameplay is occurring inside her brain as her neural pathways are being repaired. However, this underlying story matters little in the grand scheme of the game which is largely focused on music-based mechanics. Players control a ship that moves along a track that contains different segments of notes. If players shoot all of the notes in the correct order, then they unlock a section of a song and can continue onto the next section until the entire song is successfully played.

Players can customize the controls to suit their preferred style and choose how difficult they want the gameplay to be.

The game includes a competitive multiplayer mode that is played online.

• How does Amplitude compare to games like Rock Band or Guitar Hero? Do you miss the lack of a physical instrument, or is Amplitude perfectly all right without one?
• What do you think of the game's backstory? Did it impact your gameplay, or would the game have been pretty much the same without it?
