Amplitude (game)
''Amplitude'' is a music video game developed by Harmonix for the PlayStation 2. It is the sequel to ''Frequency''. The game was released in 2003 for North America on March 24 and for Europe on September 26. In ''Amplitude'' the player controls a beat blaster ship across a lane of six tracks, each track representing a musical instrument and containing note gems that the player shoots at in time with the music. The player earns points for accurate playing and increases their scoring multiplier by playing a series of flawless sequences; the player loses energy by missing too many notes and can end the song prematurely if they run out of energy.
