I love this game but I am just wondering if there is any other games that dynamically create levels/content from your own audio files? If there is few maybe it could be an idea for a new game group.
And also I say that it should remove the 'Games with randomly generated environments' group from this game as the environments are not random but based on the audio played, same audio equals the same level design.

The levels actually change from playthrough to playthrough very slightly. And even a slight difference in audio quality can make a level behave differently.

May I suggest a 'dynamically changing environments based upon external media' game group instead.

There's a tile-matching game called 3Tones that generates content (the tile formation) based on the music playing on the background. You can watch a video showing the gameplay here.

The Vib Ribbon games might fit that description, though I haven't played them myself.

[/Q --end Supernintendo Chalmers wrote--] Indeed it does, this game is bonkers. Though when using your own CDs, you'll often find yourself playing maddeningly difficult songs right after numbingly simple ones...it's not particularly well-balanced.
Fun game, though, especially passing a controller around three or four friends with some tunes everyone likes.
