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

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 beats, and bonuses to edit your video with. I enjoyed this mode but it was pretty short and bare. It felt like party mode except in a different place. I would have loved to see a type of story woven into it and better unlockables such as interviews or history on Def Jam.
Party mode once everything in career mode is completed will contain every song in the game. This mode is for the everyone that wants to relax or start the party up by making a playlist of songs and rapping them. Downloaded songs from the XBL Marketplace or the PSNetwork will show up here.
Freestyle mode allows you to rap to beats from some of the rap universe's hottest beat makers. Normally beats average around 3 mins. However you can only upload 30 seconds online where people will see your videos and rate out of 5 stars.You can also download more beats.
In closing this game is a great first attempt. Although online isn't where it should be or the core modes are kinda bare, this game sets some stable ground for Konami and Def Jam to build a great franchise on. Purchase this.
Best Deals for Def Jam Rapstar Bundle -Xbox 360
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.
Honest reviews on Def Jam Rapstar Bundle -Xbox 360
And addictive. My wife, friends, and I play this late into the night and have a lot of fun doing co-op performances as well as head-to-head. I haven't yet tried out the battle mode yet or recording my own videos although I'm sure I'd look incredibly awkward. I do wish there was some Jay-Z and Eminem but perhaps they'll have their own editions like Metallica, Green Day, and Aerosmith do for the guitar games. You can purchase some songs from the marketplace to expand the fairly lacking 40 or so songs (which is really my only gripe not enough songs).I know I'll catch some grief here but I do not really enjoy doing the old school rap songs. I know it's pretty much a sin to say that anything old school is less than spectacular because we like to pretend that things were better back in the day but the old school selections on here simply aren't fabulous.
All in all I still give this game five stars because they do a good job of delivering a quality product with enough diversity to have something for everyone's tastes.
