Get On Da Mic Ps2

Karaoke Revolution is a good idea, and it seems as though Konami and developer Harmonix have reaped the rewards of their efforts. Flipping the formula to encompass hip-hop jams in is good thinking on the part of Eidos and developers A2M and Highway 1, but too many potholes on the road to execution will keep this game from receiving the same critical and financial success.

It's Tricky It would seem like playing Get On Da Mic would be easier than singing. After all, rappers don't have to worry as much about tone and pitch. In reality, you've got to have these tracks pretty much memorized to fare well.

There are several reasons for this. First off, the judging system is often suspect, claiming that you missed lyrics you'd swear on 2 Pac's grave that you nailed. The way the lyrics are displayed makes them utterly useless much of the time. You have two lines that display the words; when one line is done, you would assume it would be replaced by the next line, right?

Perhaps the largest example of how low-rent these re-creations are is the fact that the guy supposed to be emulating Chuck D. In 'Don't Believe The Hype' is a white dude. I don't want to play the race card, but there's something that's not right about that. You're telling me there aren't any aspiring rappers out there who would've done accurate vocal performances of these songs for cheap? I find that hard to believe.
