MTV Music Generator 2
© 2001 Codemasters
With this sequel to the original MTV music-creation game, making your own songs is as easy as piecing together short clips of music called riffs. The game comes with thousands of riffs from a wide variety of genres including rock, rap, new age and techno. You can combine this vast library with your own music or vocals for an endless supply of material. You can even edit the riffs to apply different effects like echo and reverb. Once you've completed your masterpiece, you can create a music video, complete with crazy effects and 3D graphics. The interface is fairly easy to use and comes with several "skins", allowing you to customize the look and feel of the on-screen controls. This game is a must for any aspiring musician and also great for anyone even remotely interested in making their own music. Note: MTV Music Generator 3 was released in 2004 with new songs and the ability to digitally sample songs.
