Oh, I get it! THIS is what Puffy uses: a music-making program that lets players sift through libraries of riffs, vocal loops, and vocal effects before producing an "original" piece of music.

PUBLISHER: Codemasters

GENRE(S): Music, Simulation
PLAYERS: 4
ESRB RATING: E (Everyone)
RELEASE DATE: June 5, 2001

Most people will probably be satisfied with the original Music 2000 on the PSone, but if you’re feeling flush, or really want to be the next David Morales, then this is definitely worth checkin’ out and is a must for those who missed out last time. Let''s groove!

Music has never sounded better than MTV Music Generator 2 which pleases us. Do yourself a favor and expand your own horizon by giving this a try.

Like any program of its ilk, the quality of the results you get from it will be in direct proportion to the amount of time you put into it. Just beware of the memory limitations.

Even though the PC version is based on the original music generator, it is the best of the bunch in terms of control and flexibility.

You must really, truly, dearly want to make music -- and be good at reading pages of instructions and have lots of patience -- to buy this game.

A fantastic tool for the PlayStation 2; it’s so simple to create some fantastic tunes. You’ll be so proud of yourself at the end, give it five minutes and you’ll be on it again making your next big hit.

If you are a big music fan, and are willing to spend countless hours customizing your music, you should definitely check this game out. Otherwise, a rental will probably do.

MG2 doesn’t move the series forward far enough from its PlayStation roots, but if you’ve got a melodic itch to scratch, it’s still worth renting to make your own boogie-down productions.

The game could be handy to a dedicated user, but the complexity of the design is going to drive those with only a casual interest away.

A title most gamers will probably want to leave at the store. However, if you're a serious fan of music and all the design that goes into it, this may be one of the better PS2 titles you could buy.

Eventually, the greatest downfall of MTV Music Generator 2 lies in its replay value. After a while, the primary songs lose their freshness and a user might feel trapped in a world of fixed samples.

It's not suitable for everyone, and it will require considerable time and effort on your part in order to produce satisfying results. This same time and effort could just as well be spent learning the actual tools of the trade.

The game is pretty simple in terms of menus and navigation, yet incredibly in-depth in terms of styles of music you can mix and match.

You're better off getting some PC sound software if you'd really like it, but if you do decide to check out MG2, make sure you bring your patience. You're going to need it.

As a musical creation app, this program has plenty of capabilities, but is lacking in the user interface department. As a videogame, MTV Music Generator 2 is about as boring as it gets.

Evil Furby Meanie gave it a 10:
This game is so creative that I have created more than 60 tunes in two memory cards! The first red one has 29, the second red one has 37 and the third red one has 1 single song! Maybe I can get my own website, but not for a long time. 3D ROCKS! The music video graphics, like what Funkmaster Flex says, are BRAZY! Cool beans!

Ian B. gave it a 10:
This thing iz ill.

Jean F. gave it a 3:
This game is really bad because it's full of bugs. some riff are badly distortioned and everything in that game is worst than in the first mtv mg on PS1.

Troy F. gave it a 10:
Videogame software that allows one to be creative?!? Believe it! I've been using this software to make ambient music for a couple of years now, and I have yet to come across any other software as intuitively well designed or easy to use. Ignore the preset loops, you can build everything up from scratch. Invent your own genres!!

Mike B. gave it a 10:
Whoever thinks this game isnt worth it, their out of their mind, im a 17 year old guy who has no past musical experience and ive found that i have great musical talent once i began using this product , its totally worth buyin, and i truly beleive i could be a rap producer , i use no premade riffs, i add ticks, thumps, claps, piano, bass, eyv. and place it where i think it sounds right.

Stann N. gave it a 10:
I know for a fact that this is the best music game thus by far. I'm on my way to the top with the beats i drop.

Jemel G. gave it a 10:
I make my beats with hi hats and a down south slow style. Album dropin soon. Hollywood J
