PSFocus

.detuned isn’t really a game. The only thing the player can do is use some effects on the music that is playing. The effect is pretty strange, because of the visual style. The concept is original but not everyone can dig this.

Let's get it straight: 99% of the the people who will buy this product won't play it more than twice in the whole PS3 life cycle. To play your favorite mp3s you'll keep on using every other traditional player, and because of the Trophies you'll probably get to see everything .detuned has to offer during your first non-gaming session. This doesn't mean that .detuned is not worthy: some people will surely be deeply fascinated by .theprodukkt's creation to the point of never forgetting it. If you fancy strange and obscure stuff a la David Lynch, don't hesitate: buy this is a weird experiment (along with the more impressive and artsy Linger in Shadows).

Currently selling for $2.99 in the US PlayStation Store, that's about a dollar per minute of entertainment. If you have cash to blow and want to see one of the weirdest pieces of software on any system, go for it. Otherwise, just watch our videos and you'll get the point.

As demoscene veterans we we're intrigued to see what .detuned would bring to the table, but seeing as this really only is a fun graphic equalizer we were appalled to see that there isn't a demo mode where the program moves automatically to the players own music. A wasted opportunity.

Unfortunately .deTuned is not a title on which you can spend a lot of hours. Thanks to the lack of features, you will be quickly done with the game.

Clifford A. gave it a3:
Farbrausch (the demogroup behind .theprodukkt.) managed to convince Sony to let them release a demo for the PS3 by calling it a game and giving it limited interactivity, but it is definitely an FR production which means I must just it against the standards they've led me to expect. Unfortunately, this is not very good for FR. The soundtrack by Paniq is kind of dull, and the thing has less going on than pretty much every other release I've ever seen from them. It definitely doesn't seem to push the hardware, which makes me think that this was just kind of thrown together. While it listed most of the FR gang in the credits, I'm led to wonder if this was actually the work of just one or two of them, and the rest were listed because of the fact that they were involved in writing the engine and tool. I bought it because I support my fellow demosceners, but this would probably have gotten an unusually low score on pouet for them. But then, the folks at pouet are all a bunch of mindless jerks, so take that with a grain of salt. But still, no piggie for you, this is definitely a thumb down.
