The Prometheus to Harmonix's future endeavors, Frequency is a great idea for a rhythm game, but implemented in a presentation so hideously garish and obtuse, you would think space aliens designed the graphics and visuals.
Frequency came from a place where Harmonix got an opportunity to work with Sony in order to provide unique, rhythmic action in a way that emulated the style of reading music sheets, while not needing the wherewithal in order to play these raving tracks for high scores! A predecessor of what's the come.
It's a very humble game with a humbling soundtrack (mostly licensed from other artists, but no huge names besides No Doubt). The sequel would flesh out the concept in a way that wasn't just more enjoyable, it also didn't look like visual nonsense.
