You can have some fantastic moments in Fuser when you hit the right mix and groove out, but there are some problems holding it back. And unfortunately, the game is delisted and dead since it bombed pretty hard.

In the game, you got a bunch of well-known songs that you can mix and match in some really cool ways. For example, you can take the drum sample from one song and add the lyrics from another. And on the PC, you can save your mixes (I don't think you can do that on consoles).

The problem is that there is a timing system that is not very fun. You have to time beats to get the best scores and progress, but it makes the game feel like a puzzle game rather than a music creator.

Luckily, you can go into free mode and do what you want, but most are going to start playing the campaign, and that part of the game gets a bit annoying. It also feels a bit empty in a way, where the point of the game feels like it's about getting super good at timing beats and unlocking stages, but it's not quite enough to engage you.
