So after the news of Rock Band hit, I've decided to revisit Frequency and Amplitude, and since I transferred my saves from my PS2 memory card to my PS3 HDD, I figured, why not?So played a couple of Insane matches before I came to the question, "Damn why aren't I nailing 100% anymore?"  Well I think it's because of the PS3 triggers.  Have any of you played these games with the SIXAXIS controller?  It makes it so awkward (with the shoulder button configuration obviously).  I guess Sony didn't have Freq/Amp in mind when designing the controller, because the fun factor is pretty diminished by the trigger L2/R2

Yeah I did the same thing, the R2 and L2 buttons suck for Freq and Amp. <br>

I got used to the triangle, square, circle config, so I never noticed.<br>

<p>hmmm...i vaguely remember when I first played the PS3 I was like "Oh man, these controllers are NOT Amplitude friendly."&nbsp; I haven't tried it, but I certainly believe you!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>-Robotkid&nbsp;</p>

the back buttons felt weird the first time I played the PS3. That sucks though. Never&nbsp; played Amp. Is it good enough to check out?<br>

<P>Here's how anyone with a brain scales how good Harmonix games are *Although they're all pretty damn awesome*</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Frequency</P>
<P>Amplitude</P>
<P>Guitar Hero</P>
<P>Karaoke Revolution Party / Country</P>
<P>Karaoke Revolution Volume 3</P>
<P>Guitar Hero 2</P>
<P>Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 </P>
<P>Karaoke Revolution</P>
<P>EyeToy: AntiGrav</P>
<P>The Axe (Get's last because no ones played it <IMG src="http://www.rockbandgame.com/file/smile/sad.gif">)</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>So &nbsp;yes, Frequency is regarded by many uh "true" HMX fans as their best game to date.</P>

In no way is the above list gospel.&nbsp; It is a matter of opinion.&nbsp; Like for instance I kind of like Amplitude over Frequency.&nbsp; Debate on.

<p>there will always be a debate about Freq vs Amp</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>bwwahahaha....i can only hope that it will end up as Freq vs Amp vs Rock Band(in the fact that it retains a lot of its elements)&nbsp;</p>

<P>Well that's the thing; it isn't listing best to worst, as none of them are bad games, I guess it's more of a "importance' list to us? I dunno.</P>

<p>My list?</p><p>Amplitude <br></p><p>Guitar Hero 2&nbsp; <br></p><p>Frequency</p>

<p>Guitar Hero</p>
<p>Karaoke Revolution Party<br></p>
<p>Karaoke Revolution Volume 3</p>

<p>Karaoke Revolution Volume 2 </p>
<p>Karaoke Revolution</p>
<p>EyeToy: AntiGrav</p><p><br>They're all great games, but I prefer the mechanics of Amp and GH2 way more than their prequels.&nbsp; KR used to be the party game of choice along with Taiko Drum Master before GH came out.&nbsp; And AntiGrav was a fun game, but finicky and at points you just want to jump up and down and scream at it because of the controls.&nbsp; Well, I have jumped around and screamed at it, but it didn't help me much.<img src="http://www.rockbandgame.com/file/smile/sad.gif"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And remember, this is opinion, there's really no right or wrong here.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

wonder if this is due to the drivers that Sony supplies for the PS3
controllers. For Frequency we had to get Sony Japan to re-write the
drivers for the PS2 controllers for us to cut down on lag time between
button press and the game getting the signal that the button had been
pressed.&nbsp;</p>
