Amplitude on PlayStation 2 is a rhythm action game developed by Harmonix and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It serves as the sequel to Frequency and centers on piloting a Beat Blaster through a lane-based musical system, capturing sections of six color-coded tracks by hitting notes in time with the music. Gameplay unfolds as you guide a ship along six color-coded tracks, each representing a musical element like drums or synth. Notes appear along the lanes and are activated by pressing the corresponding button as they reach the hit area. Successfully capturing a section makes that track play automatically for a stretch, letting you move to other sections, while an energy gauge drains when notes are missed and ends the song if emptied. Power-ups and special notes can alter play, offering options such as score doubling or temporary freestyling. Game modes include a single-player campaign and local multiplayer options. Remix mode lets players reshape sections of songs, adjusting effects and tempo to create custom versions. The multiplayer suite supports up to four players locally, including a head-to-head style duel where players take turns crafting riffs and challenging each other. Platform notes: This title uses the standard DualShock 2 controller layout for hitting notes across six tracks and capturing sections, consistent with the era's disc-based, local-play titles. For collectors and rhythm-game fans, this title offers a distinctive soundtrack and remix tools, along with accessible, track-based play that rewards timing and accuracy. The soundtrack features collaborations with notable artists, adding to its appeal for enthusiasts of electronic and alternative rock tracks.

Anticipation is a video board game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, developed by Rare and published by Nintendo in 1988. It supports one to four players, offering a social, party-style experience with computer-controlled opponents. Gameplay centers on a looping game board where each turn follows a die roll. The die counts down from six to zero as a sketch is gradually drawn, and the first player to buzz in must spell the answer using on-screen letters within 25 seconds. Correct answers earn the corresponding color card and move the player's token forward by the die value. The board is divided into four color categories per level—blue, green, pink, and yellow—and collecting all four colors on a level advances the player to the next board. Easy and Medium boards present three levels, while Hard and Very Hard boards add a fourth level with gaps; landing on a removed space drops you back to the third level, though earned colors are retained. On higher levels, gray Feature Squares trigger additional puzzle play as the token moves around the board. Anticipation offers single-player games against computer opponents or multiplayer for up to four players; the title does not support the four-player adapter hardware commonly used for simultaneous play. Who it’s for: This title is well suited to collectors and players who enjoy puzzle- and party-style gameplay, combining quick rounds, sketch-based visual clues, and competitive word-guessing with friends or family.
