Harmonix Co-Founder Talks Rhythm Games

Thanks to GameCritics for its interview with Alex Rigopulos of Harmonix Music Systems, discussing how the company "is breaking new ground by putting a uniquely North American spin on the music game genre", including titles such as Frequency, Amplitude, and Karaoke Revolution. He explains of their games: "People didn't want to learn a bunch of new skills, so we decided to use [the gaming skills] that people already had and repurpose them onto the task of making music", but reveals there may not be a sequel to Amplitude, lamenting that "...in order for that to happen, we need to sell, at a minimum, hundreds of thousands of units of each title, which is not a sales level we achieved with those games."
