Perhaps not so visually stunning, Ejay Clubworld does make up for this with its audio uniqueness. Taking what looks like a page out of any successful music editing program, this game lets players travel the globe to sample other people's music and ultimately create their own. The musically impaired need not fear, though, as D.J. Carl Cox is on hand to help fledgling musicians find their way.

Many different musical styles are available to the player for sampling. Among them are Hip-Hop, Trance, Drums, Reggae, and Acid, just to name a few. A multitude of tools is also available, such as a synthesizer, drum machine, and a turntable that players can scratch on. Not limiting this game to a single player experience only, the developers have made it possible for up to 4 people take part in a free-form live jam.

Musical games are just starting to find their foothold in this industry, and the niche is rapidly growing. Pure music sims all the way up to musical adventure games are finding a home, and Ejay Clubworld should have no trouble following its brethren. Watch out for it this summer.
