Where the MG1 had many styles to choose from, the MG3 has 10 bands to choose from.
Snoop Dogg. OutKast. Sean Paul. Carl Cox. Fabolous. The Ones. DJ Marky. Mike Koglin. Krafty Kuts. R4. (Who ARE these people???)
This program kind of comes across as a big advertisement for these bands. You can remix their songs and create your own songs based on their style of music. All I really wanted was to just have some rock/metal drum tracks to accompany my guitar. But since MTV has tried its best over the past decade to kill rock and metal in favor of the flavor of the month product, it should come as no surprise that the hard stuff was omitted from this program. So if you like any of the "artists" I listed, then this might be the program for you.

The MG3 is only $30 and does have some decent tools like an editor and "beat box", which is nice as I will probably just end up using it as a cheap drum machine anyway. This product might be right for the exposed boxer-shorts crowd, but it wasn't right for me. I would have rather picked up a cheap used PS1 with a bunch of memory cards and fired up the old MTV Music Generator 1.

I actually find it funny that MTV would make a music generator, so it doesn't surprise me that they would put their name on a flawed one. I did half expect to pop the disk in and have it actually be a MTV Reality TV Generator.

First game was GREAT, second BLAH, third looks FANTASTIC!Jun 18, 2004

In this awesome game, you can mix tracks and music (from a 4,000+ sound library) to create your very own thumpin tunes. Its incredibly easy to do, and although the learning level is a bit steep, it was a fantastic experience. You do not need any music no-how, just a good sense of rhythm. Its a lot like putting notes on a music page, and hearing them in real-time. Pretty amazing for a console game, even moreso with the nice low price!!

A new feature in this game is a way to rip 8-seconds of CD track (the legal amount of time) and make them riffs for your song. You could thump some drums while Tom Jones sings with EMINEM- the possibilities are endless.

The second game of this series was a huge step backwards from the first, but now they have got it right, and the nice price makes this a DEFINITE buy from me. Research a bit more in this game to see if its for you- but trust me, its the best of its kind. A very impressive "game"!

NOTE: make SURE you get the XBox version. The PS2 version will have a LOT more limitations due to a lack of a hard drive (such as erasing the CD rips of songs every reboot, while the XBox saves them on the hard drive). Its doable with a PS2, and pure gravy on the XBox.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX ITJun 24, 2004
By R. PAYNE "taikutsuna"
the first thing to note about music generator 3 is that jester interactive did not make this so do not expect the title to be on the same engine as mg-1 or mg-2.
with that being said this game can hardly compare to either of the first two. if codemasters had made mg-2 and added a couple hundred more riffs and samples this would have been a phenomenal title.
the biggest flaw with this title is that even though there are more riffs and samples than the previous installments they have been segregated by styles of music....so rather than having a huge library of riffs and samples to create from you get a couple of hundred for each style with no crossover...example,...if you choose to make a song in trance style you can't go over to rap and check out drum loops for your song. your stuck with what in "trance style" or what ever style you have chosen.
this severly stiffles any creative process you might have dreamt of and makes this more of puzzle game, as in "WE HAVE BROKEN APART 4 SONGS SEE IF YOU CAN PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER"
don't let the price fool you its not worth it

Kinda wack, considering...Aug 28, 2004
By Donnie R. Penelton II "the dirtiest one"
I was expecting so much more from this installment of MTV Music Generator. I even bought it at almost full price the day it hit stores. I can't wait to sell it. This is by far the worst one. You don't even start off with your own song. You have to either rip from a CD or edit the current track with limited sounds and riffs. I still get most of my mileage out of MG2 and some out of MG1. This is terrible after 6 minutes of experimentation. Stick to the basics, Codemasters.

MCWhite inda Remix! A Fantasy come true!Aug 15, 2006
By Dubyac99 "MC White"
I admit it. I've always secretly fantasied about being an all night DJ mixer at a hip club in the city. Well, this game satisfies that fantasy.

I am truly amazed that this game was not more popular than it was. Here's a game where you can mix in samples from songs on your harddrive, into other popular rap type songs. How cool is that? I still cannot believe how cool it is to mix in samples of "Keep Feelin' Fascination" into my favorite OutKast tune, "I Like the way you move." Or how about "Nothin' But a G Thang" into Snoop's "Church" song. Now you're crackin' Homie!

Sure, its different than the first two games, and there's less sound effects, etc. But I thought these games were supposed to build on previous editions. What ever happened to improving on a formula. If this game simply repeated what was done in the past, why even come up with a new edition.

The sound mixing, and using samples from songs on your harddrive makes this game. I couldn't recommend it higher.
