Custom-music Based games?

Post Reply New Topic

Before people stat getting confused and say just bring up WMP when playing a game, or stream it to the 360. THat is not what I mean by custom music based games. I am meaning games where the music would have a direct impact on the gameplay.

I'll give some examples, but I need more, since I want to try out more of them. Preferably they should be for the PC, and preferably open-source/freeware.

pretty much the only PC based ones I would know of are

Audiosurf
Stepmania
Frets On Fire
Guitar hero (forget which one had the PC release :/)
DDR (not sure if there is a PC release though.)

You can download a cracked version of Fruity Loops but legally it's not free. Even though you prefer PC, there's a really good Indie game on the 360. It's a great program to actually make your own music. I don't know if you're interested in that or not..... It's 10 dollars but well worth the money. You have to be a gold member on XBL to download it.

The game is EZ Muze+ Hamst3r Edition.

There's another Guitar Hero clone that used to be called Guitar Zero (I think it's called...Frontman now? I'm not sure), but it's closed source, and only very slightly better than Frets on Fire...and also slightly worse in some respects.

For those people who always complained that guitar hero wasn't like playing a real guitar they're coming out with a new game called

power gig
it's a link

the controller is a real six string guitar that you use to play the game mode and alternatively you can use it on an amp to play for real.

I'm not sure how well it will sell but I might actually get it.

and a freeware pc guitar hero knock-off is out there too called frets of fire I believe.

well, downloaded ezmuze+ hamst3r edition and took it for a spin. So far enjoying it and made a few track even.

Just uploaded one of them to youtube as well, so for those interested, the link is -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY5x30z-xuE
