The Game

Total Distortion is a game of music and music videos, or, to be more precise, loud music and music videos you create yourself. You use the video editing equipment on your music tower's top floor to transform video you shoot while in the Distortion Dimension. After turning it into a salable music video, you beam it back to Earth in the hopes of making lots of money, becoming famous, or both. You need to make at least a million dollars in order to return back to your home dimension; if not, you risk being trapped in the Distortion Dimension forever.

But somebody doesn't want you here and that someone is the Metal Lord, who sends his minions out to deal with you. These include (but are not limited to) Guitar Warriors. By using sound, these denizens will attempt to damage or kill you, depending on where you are in the game and the difficulty level you chose. You'll have to fight back by using sound, too, in this case, a trusty electric guitar. It is these type of threats you must deal with in your quest to shoot footage for the ultimate music video and that means keeping your guitar handy. Music is the only weapon that can be used against the denizens of the Distortion Dimension.

You must find the "stars" of the Distortion Dimension and shoot footage of them as they perform. These include Betty Pink and Johnny Fang, Edgar Death and Mr. Red. Once you have footage, it's time to return to your tower and put together the music video. Here, you choose foreground, middle ground and background elements and can create up to 40 separate frames of video.

After the video is finished, you try to sell it to one of your industry contacts. If your video does well, you'll make money and attain some fame. Only by making and selling a lot of videos will you become wealthy and famous enough to win the game and leave the Distortion Dimension.

The Distortion Dimension is a fully realized realm that is recognizably not Earth and exploration of the environments is always interesting. However, the music video editing part of the game quickly becomes tedious after only a few visits, even if the quiet of the editing studio seems a haven after the noisy Distortion Dimension.

Note: My compatibility CD does not alter the retail game or bypass copy protection. It allows the original media to install and run correctly on any recent version of Windows.
