Def Jam Rap Star Updated Hands-On Today we didn't even have to use our AK... we gotta say it was a good day. By Brian Ekberg
Hip hop fans finally have a game that's just for them: Konami is bringing Def Jam Rap Star to consoles later this year, a game that will look to do for rap fans what Rock Band and Guitar Hero have done for guitar-slingers. We got our hands on the game earlier this year at Konami's spring press event and today, on the show floor of E3 2010, we wrapped our hands around the mic and had a go with Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day."
While nobody would ever confuse our flow with that of Mr. Cube, you don't need to be master MC to have a good time with the game--that's what variable difficulty levels are for, after all. You can play by yourself or as part of a duet--for example when singing Kanye West's "Goldigger", one person will be laying it down as Kanye, and the other player singing the parts performed by Jamie Foxx.
There are three main modes in Rap Star: Party, which is essentially a chance to pick up and rap straight away; career which follows your path through all of the songs in the game and even serves as a tutorial of sorts--teaching you the finer points of rapping and singing. Finally there's Freestyle mode, where budding hip hop stars can put their own lyrics over a number of pre-produced beats and tracks. You'll also be able to tie specific samples to the face buttons of your controller which you can cue during your songs.
If you've got a camera hooked up to your gaming console, you'll be able to record a video of you rapping to your favorite songs. Using an easy-to-use interface, you'll be able to add rudimentary graphics to your video performance, as well as special video effect filters, audio filters and more. After that, you can upload your video to the Def Jam Rap Star Web site, where community members will be able to rate videos, share commets, and issue challenges to one another. Everyone will have a respect rating that will be based on the number of rap battles they've won or lost, as well as the number of challenges they've ignored. Certain performances will then be featured in the game (though they'll be moderated for content before being featured).
Even if you don 't have a great interest in hip-hop, it is likely that there will be two songs, or do you know about the game' s soundtrack and you can expect a lot of DLC to follow after the game is released later this year.
