This review is from: Def Jam Rapstar Bundle (Video Game)
As a fan of music with hip-hop as my favorite genre, I felt that this game was a must own. This game although bare bones provides hours and hours of fun whether alone or with friends. Songs in this game are accompanied by their video counterpart and the objective of the game is to either rap the words correctly or in certain parts carry a note or two.

There are three modes in this game(Career,Party,Freestyle) and I'll start first with career.

In career mode there are five stages in which you rap several songs in an attempt to earn five mics on each song(Mics are used as a grading scale and five is the highest). Also thrown on each stage are challenges where you may have to rap a new song to unlock it in party mode, rap through several videos at a time, rap a couple verses and correctly say every word without messing up or rap to earn a multiplier as quicly as possible. The bulk of the game's 40+ songs are in this mode. By earning mics you unlock songs, freestyle...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Party/Family Game, October 26, 2010
Queen Bee (Tacoma, Wa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Def Jam Rapstar Bundle (Video Game)
We've played Rockband and Guitar Hero, but always wanted something that aligned with the music that we like to listen to. The music selection varied from classics to some current and there is the option to unlock more in career mode, but we didn't get that far yet. We had a blast competing to see who was the best. This was a hit in our house

5.0 out of 5 stars finally a rapping game!!!, October 29, 2010
1Life ""Live life with no regrets" ~ ... (east coast) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Def Jam Rapstar Bundle (Video Game)
first off, you don't need to buy the rapstar bundle w/ the mic. any wired mic will work.

what i'm mad at is why are we just now getting games like Def Jam Rapstar now? after all the guitar hero's, rock bands, Lips, we're just now finally catering to hip hop. just like the DJ Hero 1 & 2. just now finally catering to the dj world and hip hop. dang, it's about time..

this game is great. finally one for us hip hop fans. if you're expecting to do some singing, you won't find much except some Drake songs. if you're looking for a challenge, Public Enemy's "Fight The Power" is a hard track to rap.

def a great party game. you can play against other ppl. game has alot of other cool things you can do too.

downside is, this will tire you out, unless you're a natural born rapper. i got tired after 2 hours. so you're not going to beat this one fast.

great game, but i wouldn't pay more then $40 for it.
