This has been out or a while now wraggy I have completed it, and still go back to it. A great PSP game

[splodger15]

Yes it is a good game

[Veskgar]

I played the demo but didn't like it. Not my kind of game.

[Basil Zero]

hmmm, never heard of it

[Vega]

It is quite different to anything else I've played. Its based around freestyle button presses with the correct timing. Compare it to rubbing your belly, tapping your head and singing at the same time The more you play and the more moves you unlock, the more enjoyable it gets. The way you navigate around your home before you accept challenges is quite like Def Jam:FFNY. But the gameplay itself is very unique. I like it alot... its actually in my PSP now

i dont like this game,i found it boring .make sure you check it out before you buy it .

The graphics and animations for the characters look really good on this PSP title, and the soundtrack for the game is pretty cool with loadsa oldskool hiphop classics! ..but I’ve seen quite a few game magazine reviews now that have canned it and said it wasn’t really an amazing game.

It’s one of those games that I will probably hire out from blockbuster on a rainy day and then buy it if I like it. Its not really an essential purchase.

the soundtrack for the game is pretty cool with loadsa oldskool hiphop classics!

I can't stand hippidy-hop (cRAP) music so that is a big reason why I can't stand this game. I can tolerate the Beastie Boys but if they are not on the "oldschool" soundtrack that would suck. The game looks OK visually but doesn't sound and play as well as I would have liked. This is just IMHO though. Others may feel different.

@ baboon & Veskgar


you gotta admit the old electro hip-hop stuff was the shiznit.... like the stuff on the GTA:VC station "wildstyle" !

modern hip-hop is pish tho.
