Reach Rockstar Status with Tap Tap Revenge 3
Guitar Hero, done it. Rock Band, yep, did that too! I’ve not been a big fan of the mobile versions for some of these, even on the Nintendo DS the Guitar Hero just didn’t port well without cramping up and wishing your had double joints on your double joints. Still there’s no denying that these games are a lot of fun, whether you’re playing on your own or playing with a group. Mastering the moves, hearing the songs, and remembering the days when you wanted to be a real rockstar, are all part of the experience.
Recently Tap Tap Revenge 3 had been released for the iPhone and iTouch. I’ve completely overlooked parts 1 and 2, but 3 caught my eye with all the buzz it was getting, so naturally it was hard to pass up. I’ve since been addicted to the game, using it to fill the idle time in my day now. The game integrates rhythm play, color recognition, and increasing levels of difficulty that keep the game interesting. What is an even bigger draw is the mix of in game tunes and popular mainstream music that is played in the game.
Tap Tap Revenge 3 allows users to create an avatar that you buy in game items for to dress them up and increase your rockstar cred. You get the points to buy gear and new tracks from the in game coins you collect for mastering songs. The better you do the more coin you earn, simple enough. Thinking myself better than most I quickly went to hard and saw that I was way out of league. The game definitely takes some getting used to, but you lose track of the frustration as you listen to some of your favorite songs.
The visuals are nothing to laugh at either. Color backgrounds and user interface keeps you hooked to the game as you try to match speed with the music. I recommend this game for anyone used to the Guitar Hero and Rockband series. It’s not as stressful to your hands, so no cramps, but still offers a big enough challenge to keep you going and perhaps challenging your friends.
The app is free, so go check it out and enjoy the becoming the rockstar you always wanted!
