"Hip Hop All-Star" - DJ Scratch & Beat Matching iPhone App (SICK)

"Hip Hop All-Star" is a cool new iPhone App that allows you to scratch and beat match in a way similar to Tap Tap Revenge.  If you've never played that game, just think of Guitar Hero or Rock Band (and now DJ Hero) for your iPhone where you hit colored buttons in time with the beat.  It's definitely a fun and simple concept that works well on the small screen.  You can also do head to head DJ battles with anyone that has the same app on their iPhone.  Nice! 

This particular app is getting a big push because it's being backed by some big names in Hip Hop like Busta Rhymes, Kid Cudi, DJ Green Lantern and Kool G Rap to name a few.  You can also download a "Track Pack" to add more songs if you wear out the originals that are included with the App.

I've been waiting for something like this for the iPhone for awhile now.  I've already downloaded it and test it out a little bit and I have a feeling this is going to help me waste a lot of time in the next couple of months.  This is gonna be mad addicting!

I-play Launches Hip Hop All Star for iPhone™ and iPod® Touch Featuring New Exclusive Tracks From Every Generation of Hip Hop

Multiplayer DJ Battles, Breakthrough Real-Time Scratching Technology and an Integrated Facebook Connect Feature Usher In I-play’s First Micro-transaction Enabled Music Game, Now Available in the Apple® App Store

NEW YORK & LONDON-September 30, 2009-I-play, Oberon Media’s publishing division and the world’s leading multi-platform casual games publisher, today launched Hip Hop All Star for iPhone™ and iPod® touch.  Featuring an original playlist with some of the biggest names in hip hop including Busta Rhymes and Kid Cudi, Hip Hop All Star introduces an all-new way for fans and hip hop enthusiasts to experience their favorite tracks.

Turning the iPhone into virtual turntables, players use the touch screen to scratch and spin their way to DJ stardom.  Hip Hop All Star brings the swagger back to music games with a playlist starring hip hop chart-toppers alongside old-school hip hop classics, some of them exclusive to the game.

Hip Hop All Star puts players behind the wheels of steel and on center stage as they rock the crowds in five different party locations-starting at a house party and spinning their way to a fan-packed arena. When the crowds crave more, players can turn their show into a showdown with WiFi and BlueTooth DJ battle modes.

Aspiring DJs go head-to-head to earn power-ups, show off scratch tricks and unlock in-game accessories.  When a winner emerges, players can earn DJ bragging rights by posting top scores and trash talk directly to Facebook with the integrated Facebook Connect feature.

Hip Hop All Star is I-play’s first micro-transaction enabled music game.  Players will be able to make in-game purchases on their favorite Hip Hop All Star songs through a direct link to the iTunes® Store.   In addition, once the 10 included songs have been mastered on the turntables, players can keep the party going by purchasing the Hip Hop All Star Track Pack that includes two additional songs for $0.99.  The music never has to stop, as I-play will keep the needle on the record with the release of additional Track Packs.

“If you are a hip hop music fan, this game is for you,” said Don Ryan, chief operating officer of Oberon Media.  “As the first and only all hip hop DJ game, we wanted to make sure players are continuously engaged with the music and that the game was true to real DJing techniques and principles. The micro-transactions keep the game fresh by offering players an entirely new experience with each purchase.”

The Hip Hop All Star set list features tracks from Busta Rhymes, DJ Green Lantern, Slim Thug, Unk, Mya and Ray J, with exclusive music from Kid Cudi, DJ KO, Greg Nice, DJ Jason Nevins, Scarchild, Eddie Jaymez, and DJ Serafin.  Kool G Rap, one of the most influential and skilled MCs of all time, joins them with an exclusive track.

“It’s mind blowing to see how hip hop has evolved from the beginning,” said Kool G Rap.  “When I began in this business, I never could have imagined turntables like this.  But it goes to show that great minds will continue to revolutionize hip hop and the DJ experience-that’s why hip hop will be around forever.”

Hip Hop All Star is now available through select mobile carriers, and in the Apple® App Store for a special, two-week price of $2.99. Download the game at www.itunes.com/apps/HipHopAllStar
