App Review:Tap Tap Revenge 3
Tapulous’s new version of TTR is out, released yesterday into the App Store for 0.99$. This version has an all new look and design to it, and looks to be the best of the three complete Tap Tap versions. Some of the new features include:
Quickplay: For those of you on the go, you can just play a song by scrolling to quick on the main menu, and pressing play. The app will randomly choose a song for you, and then you can start playing.
New Online Features: Instead of the old, dull race to get the highest score against people around the world, you can now “silence” your opponents, or throw goo at them. Also, outside of just playing the game, you can now message other people that you meet while playing the game, and create your own personal avatar.
Levels and Achievements: When you don’t have the internet connection or the motivation to beat other people online, you can still have a lot of fun with the single player mode. The new levels system is a great addition to TTR, and each new level can be achieved by playing (and scoring well) on the songs that you attempt. In connection with online mode also, certain game rooms can only be played in if you have achieved a certain level.
Gameplay: The actual in-game play on TTR3 is very well done. There is a similarity to Guitar Hero or Rock Band in the sense that if you hit a certain streak of notes in a row (they are stars instead of circles), you can activate the star that will show up next to the notes. By activating that star, you get to have a 16x multiplier for 10 seconds, and the multiplier stays no matter how bad you do in that 10 seconds. Also, you now can see the percentage of notes you have hit in the top right corner, a running score that is up to date.
Price: A lot of people may complain that they actually have to pay for this version of Tap Tap, but I think the game itself is worth the .99 cents Tapulous is asking for. It gives you a lot of bang for your buck, and beats most of the 1$ apps out there currently.
Overall: This game is a must have for anyone who loves the TTR series, and the 1$ shouldn’t break the bank for anyone. I’ve been hooked since I bought it.
Score: 10/10
EB: Good morning, and Go Bucks Central Crossing. I’m Emmaleigh.
JM: And I’m Jason.
EB: So that was a nice road win by the Bucks last Saturday wasn’t it?
JM: Yes, it really was. Added to that, it was in a night game in the Big Ten, which is always tough, even if it was just Indiana.
EB: I agree, the Hoosiers just didn’t look like the same team they did the week before when they nearly upset Michigan.
JM: They really didn’t at all. On the flip side, this week it’s a more run-orientated team in Wisconsin. They’ve always been known to keep the ball on the ground with tough running backs.
EB: So the game is at 3:30 tomorrow right?
JM: Yup, on ABC also. Any prediction?
EB: Well the Bucks will contain Wisconsin’s rushing game, so I say __-__ Ohio State. Not much trouble at all, even with the Badgers coming in undefeated. And you?
JM: In the early years of Tressel, we didn’t play well against Wisconsin, but as of late we have turned it around. The past losses to them will be forgotten once more, I say we dominate from start to finish, and beat them 38-6.
