Video game development company 4mm Games and Def Jam Enterprise combined to develop a karaoke themed rap video game, due to be released on October 5th, 2010. The game, Def Jam Rapstar, is based on Hip-Hop & Rap music that’ll give Hip-Hop Gamers the music game they’ve been looking for. Do you have what it takes to be a Def Jam Rapstar? That question will be answered during the game play as you are given scores for your lyrical accuracy, timing and cadence. However, it doesn’t stop there– that’s only the beginning.
It’s time to get your swag on and be a Rapstar as you direct, edit and star in your own music video. If you’re up for the challenge you can Freestyle and see if you can make the ‘Top Five Dead Or Alive” list. Def Jam Rapstar will feature different Old School and New School tracks from some of the hottest artists on the market.
The video game is not for fakers and mumblers; with its proprietary voice recognition technology, it will be able to tell who’s legitimate. Def Jam Rapstar will have a multi-player game that players can sing co-op as well as solo. When the player or players finish spitting, they are scored and move on to the next level of the game, this is how gamers earn their stripes and sharpen their skills. The game will be available for the PlayStation 3, XBOX 360 and Wii game systems. The video game publisher of Def Jam Rapstar is Konami, known for the hit video game series Metal Gear. Gamers you can pre-order your game online at www.gamestop.com.
Developer and publisher Ubisoft, known for many popular video games series such as Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell, is coming out with a new video game based on a pop music icon and performer like no other whose music and dance style influenced hip hop and music around the world.
No other performer has been able to recapture his greatness, but perhaps you can in the comfort of your home with Michael Jackson: The Experience. Gamers will step into Michael Jackson shoes to sing and perform songs such as “Beat It”, Thriller”, “Bad” and “Billie Jean.” Michael Jackson: The Experience is one of the first video games to incorporate the PlayStations 3’s “PlayStation Move” and the XBOX 360 “Kinect.” The video game will be available for the PlayStaion 3, PSP, XBOX 360, Wii and Nintendo DS. The current release date for Michael Jackson: The Experience is November of this year.
While you wait for the Michael Jackson: The Experience and Def Jam Rapstar video game to hit the shelf, you can still get your Hip-Hop gaming on with some oldies but goodies. Let’s take a ride in our Hip-Hop time machine and travel back a few years for the De Jam Series. First stop: Def Jam Vendetta–a mix of Hip-Hop music and pro wrestling. Next, Def Jam: Fight for NY, featuring Hip-Hop music with street fighting, kickboxing, martial arts, wrestling and submission. If there’s a graffiti artist bursting inside of you, let him out without the legal issues of defacing public property with the Hip-Hop video game Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Under Pressure,” released in 2006 may be just what the creative doctor ordered.
