Description
SynopsisThe air is thick, and the lights are low. You stand offstage reflecting on everything you've gone through. From writing lyrics on scraps of paper to battling in the clubs, you have held your head high throughout. You've freestyled with the best emcees around, created beats and dropped rhymes just to make it. You've been waiting for this moment your whole life and as the crowd chants your name you realize that the time has come. You grab the mic and as you rush onstage, the crowd erupts with a roar, the lights go up and the beat drops — you're a Rapstar.Def Jam Rapstar gives players the opportunity to experience the essence of what hip-hop is — the music, the battles and the swagger. Focusing exclusively on hip-hop, Def Jam Rapstar gives players the chance to become the star by rhyming, creating videos and sharing them with the world. Showcase your poetic prowess as you perform some of hip-hop's greatest songs or kick your own lyrics over beats composed by the industry's hottest producers. Sing and rap with a friend in Duet mode to achieve the highest combined score, or vie for hip-hop supremacy as you challenge them in Battle mode. Do you have what it takes to become a Rapstar?

If you are into hip hop this game is for you. There really isn't another game that serves the hip hop crowd so this is a winner by default. However they were not lazy when they made this game, it is a lot of fun. Just like every other game of this genre you can trick it buy humming on easy mode. i would recommend picking this game up. Bring your A game when you select Twista.

I enjoy playing this game, it's probably my favorite game to play when a bunch of friends are together. I have the Eye hooked up to record the battles, its just fun as hell. I've downloaded about 8 songs to add to the collection. The only drawback is you can't play online. I imagine they're going to do the same thing as they do with similar songs like DJ Hero 1&2. The first version isn't on PS3 Network, but the second version is, but all the songs you've downloaded can be used on both. I fully recommend this game.
