Customer Rating: Summary: MCWhite inda Remix! A Fantasy come true! Comment: I admit it. I've always secretly fantasied about being an all night DJ mixer at a hip club in the city. Well, this game satisfies that fantasy.
I am truly amazed that this game was not more popular than it was. Here's a game where you can mix in samples from songs on your harddrive, into other popular rap type songs. How cool is that? I still cannot believe how cool it is to mix in samples of "Keep Feelin' Fascination" into my favorite OutKast tune, "I Like the way you move." Or how about "Nothin' But a G Thang" into Snoop's "Church" song. Now you're crackin' Homie!
Sure, its different than the first two games, and there's less sound effects, etc. But I thought these games were supposed to build on previous editions. What ever happened to improving on a formula. If this game simply repeated what was done in the past, why even come up with a new edition.
The sound mixing, and using samples from songs on your harddrive makes this game. I couldn't recommend it higher.
MC White said: Check it out dawgs! Customer Rating: Summary: Much more than a "DJ" game. Comment: having not played the first two in the series, i can honestly say this is the best beatbox game i have ever played. However, i have seen many reviews that say this game is merely a "DJ" tool, and while i see their point, it is so much more... I've made completely original beats for songs, or background music for parties... Overall, if your not into music however, this game is not for you. But my love of music and all things creative, this is one of my top 10 XBOX games. Customer Rating: Summary: Kinda wack, considering... Comment: I was expecting so much more from this installment of MTV Music Generator. I even bought it at almost full price the day it hit stores. I can't wait to sell it. This is by far the worst one. You don't even start off with your own song. You have to either rip from a CD or edit the current track with limited sounds and riffs. I still get most of my mileage out of MG2 and some out of MG1. This is terrible after 6 minutes of experimentation. Stick to the basics, Codemasters. Customer Rating: Summary: Where�s the Rock? Comment: The first MTV Music Generator for the PS1 was a good tool for putting together original music in just about any musical style. You could choose from rock, techno, I think industrial, as well as quite a few others. Its only limitation was the wee little memory cards that were used with the PS1. So after the XBox came out with its 6 gig hard drive, I traded both my PS1 and PS2 for a bag of magic beans and haven't really looked back since. (Because of the memory limitations of the first, I never tried the MTV MG2 for the PS2.)
Where the MG1 had many styles to choose from, the MG3 has 10 bands to choose from. Snoop Dogg. OutKast. Sean Paul. Carl Cox. Fabolous. The Ones. DJ Marky. Mike Koglin. Krafty Kuts. R4. (Who ARE these people???) This program kind of comes across as a big advertisement for these bands. You can remix their songs and create your own songs based on their style of music. All I really wanted was to just have some rock/metal drum tracks to accompany my guitar. But since MTV has tried its best over the past decade to kill rock and metal in favor of the flavor of the month product, it should come as no surprise that the hard stuff was omitted from this program. So if you like any of the "artists" I listed, then this might be the program for you.
The MG3 is only $30 and does have some decent tools like an editor and "beat box", which is nice as I will probably just end up using it as a cheap drum machine anyway. This product might be right for the exposed boxer-shorts crowd, but it wasn't right for me. I would have rather picked up a cheap used PS1 with a bunch of memory cards and fired up the old MTV Music Generator 1.
I actually find it funny that MTV would make a music generator, so it doesn't surprise me that they would put their name on a flawed one. I did half expect to pop the disk in and have it actually be a MTV Reality TV Generator.
Customer Rating: Summary: IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT Comment: the first thing to note about music generator 3 is that jester interactive did not make this so do not expect the title to be on the same engine as mg-1 or mg-2. with that being said this game can hardly compare to either of the first two. if codemasters had made mg-2 and added a couple hundred more riffs and samples this would have been a phenomenal title. the biggest flaw with this title is that even though there are more riffs and samples than the previous installments they have been segregated by styles of music....so rather than having a huge library of riffs and samples to create from you get a couple of hundred for each style with no crossover...example,...if you choose to make a song in trance style you can't go over to rap and check out drum loops for your song. your stuck with what in "trance style" or what ever style you have chosen. this severly stiffles any creative process you might have dreamt of and makes this more of puzzle game, as in "WE HAVE BROKEN APART 4 SONGS SEE IF YOU CAN PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER" don't let the price fool you its not worth it
