Phase is a music game from Harmonix, the crew who bought you Amplitude and Guitar Hero. And it's for... your iPod.

You'll need a generation 5 or above iPod or one of the new Nanos in order to play.

The game uses the right, centre and left buttons on the iPod like the 3 blasters in Amplitude, and also has wavy lines to follow with the scroll wheel. It comes with a neat little selection of songs, and will set you back a fiver.

Which is completely worth it, because where Phase SHINES is the fact that you can plug any song you like into it and it will generate a level for you to play. So for once, we get a music game where the track listing is just what you want it to be. Some songs work better than others, but generally it's surprisingly good at picking up the beat of the songs. It's a simple little game, but it's cheap, fun, and one hell of a time killer.

If you've got a compatible iPod, seriously, get this thing. I picked it up this evening and have been playing it to the point of thumb-cramp.

(Also, if anyone else has it, this would be a good place to recommend songs that work especially well in it. My current favourite on it is 'Clubbed to Death' by Rob Dougan, on Hard mode.)

Ooh... sounds sweet |D. If I had an iPod, I'd so buy Phase X333.

Look up Musical Lanturn. It's a fun flash game I found.

I just sold my iPod a week ago. Ah well, I've got Guitar Hero and some DDR pads lying around here....somewhere...

This post is going to take me forever to type. I'm on my PSP because I'm too lazy to go to my computer.

Phase sounds pretty sweet overall, but I don't have an iPod... I would definitely give it a spin if I did. Instead I'm stuck with SatanZune. as I have affectionally named it. *hopes for Zune version even though it will never come*

I've been playing DDR for years, and was just introduced to the awesomeness of Guitar Hero on Tuesday. Then my cousin showed me Phase.

So far, I've been playing some of my older faves, like "Take On Me" by a-ha and "The Logical Song" by Supertramp. All J-pop works BEAUTIFUL with it, but that could be my DDR-fangirl crying out! XD (Anyone remember the song "Look Alike" from the Sonic OVA? <3 )

And "Message From Nightopia" is grand fun! Gonna try "The Mantle" next..!

My only minor complaint is how much battery life this baby sucks back. But it's soooo worth it!

Haha, I've loaded on The Logical Song (I'm a big Supertramp fan) but not tried it yet.

The Sonic Rush soundtrack works great, especially Wrapped in Black and Bomber Barbera.

Get What You Give by the New Radicals, and What Do I Do Right by Jimmy's Chicken Shack are also especially good.
