Two days ago Apple has released a version 7.5 update to its popular service iTunes, and this way it has also added support to a brand new interactive music game titled “Phase”. This music-themed game has been created by Harmonix Music System, which is the video game developer that has launched in 2005 “Guitar Hero”. Harmonix represents also the creator of “Amplitude” and “FreQuency”, which are two music-themed video games that are similar to both “Guitar Hero” and this recently launched “Phase” game.

“Phase” is now available on Apple’s iTunes Store for purchase and download for $4.99. The game has been published through MTV Networks / Viacom and it is compatible with the iPod Classic, the 5th generation iPod and with the 3^rd generation iPod Nano. “Phase” can’t be currently played also on the iPhone or on iPod Touch.

“Phase” lets the players listen to the songs in their iTunes library while they are actually playing them as an interactive game. The players must click and glide their iPod’s Click Wheel along with the rhythm of the music and they must try to catch the notes and this way to collect bonus phrases for extra points.

Thanks to the new iTunes 7.5 update, Apple has created a new playlist, the Phase Music. It in this playlist where the “Phase” players could drag and drop the songs they want to listen to while playing the game. iTunes will then automatically create the gameplay info for those tracks.

So, “Phase” is on iTunes and you should not miss it, because it rocks!
