Players could also battle other players by uploading a video of their own performing the same song, and the community voted on which of the two performances they felt was the best. Once uploaded, their video could be viewed by the community and voted on, giving the player community recognition. Players could upload videos from their console or from their PC. The community was accessible both in-game and on the web at. Communityīefore the lawsuits, Def Jam Rapstar featured an online community where players could prove their swagger. The bouncing ball still hits the empty syllables where the profanity used to be, and players are not penalized for speaking the censored words into the microphone. As the player progresses through the game, new video and audio effects, filters, stickers and more can be unlocked.ĭef Jam Rapstar features radio edits of each song in order to stay within a "T" ESRB rating, but while the harshest of profanities are removed, references to drugs, alcohol, and violence are left intact. The game features support for the Xbox 360 Kinect and Playstation Eye cameras, allowing users to record video of their performances (limited to 30 seconds), store them locally, and upload them to the community for viewing by others with the game or on the official website. A Freestyle mode is also available, and gives players an instrumental beat to strut their stuff over. The game supports two microphones for Duets and Rap Battles. A Party mode is available to allow quickplay of unlocked songs (all but a few songs are unlocked from the start of the game), and playlists can be created and performed. In Career Mode, there are five stages to be played through, each increasing in difficulty and containing unique score, timing, or other challenges where new songs can be unlocked. Sections that require singing display pitch lines much like Rock Band or Lips, and the player is graded on their tonality as well as rhythm. A bouncing ball touches each syllable in rhythm, much like some karaoke machines or sing-along videos. The music video for each song (or, in a few cases where no video is available, a simple volume meter visualizer) appears in a box in the center of the screen while the lyrics are displayed below. Gameplayĭef Jam Rapstar requires a microphone (bundled with the game) and a controller for navigation.
The game gives players the ability to rap along with a wide variety of hip hop tracks spanning three decades and including some of the genre's most famous artists. Def Jam Rapstar is a music/rhythm game from 4mm Games and Terminal Reality released in 2010.
