The actual B-Boy Beats hype train
If we all believed the hype we’d be riding around on Segways, playing Nintendo Virtual Boys and listening to Jedward. That isn’t a world I’d like to reside in. But sometimes, like when Mobile Pie make a game, it’s time to listen and get yourselves very excited.
Following the launch of the teaser trailer, the Internet has gone totally loco and almost completely jammed itself up with fan gushing about our upcoming hippty-hop rhythm action extravaganza B-Boy Beats. Are these people right to be excited? Yes, they are.
AppGamer.net said that “Mobile Pie’s upcoming rhythm action title is seriously dope” which of course is very true. A discerning reader of the site, a gent or lady known only by the moniker jopper456, commented that the teaser trailer “looks mental!” We hope that’s a good thing, Jopper.
The funky and righteous robo-dudes over at Appboy reckon “B-Boy Beats is probably going to keep you entertained for a while” and that “visually, the game looks exciting”. Right on, brother!
But, what did the acclaimed journalists at iPhone Review 2.0 think?. Well, they reckon we’re “aiming to show the other music games how it’s really done.” While MustTap added that BBB is going to be a “different style of rhythm game”. Very insightful and accurate, MustTap and iPhone Review 2.0.
The industry site, CausalGaming.biz, thinks that “B-Boy Beats [is] set to ‘break’ the iPhone”. Not literally we hope. It has been extensively QA’ed.
Pocket Gamer reckons it’s “looking and sounding mighty funky” whilst site reader hopp56 think it “looks the business” and “could provide a decent DDR experience on iPhone for the first time after the dissapointment of Rock Band and the mediocre Tap Tap games.” Wowzers!
Meanwhile YouTube and other video sharing sites have been awash with articulate comments including: “Clever idea!” from RedShirtTheory, “looks great” by Th3AppStoreReview and “looks cool” from dr-mcd00d. Mean while the forums are jam packed with: “Darn, this is kooool” (wonderlandy), “it looks real cool” (‘Jeep) and, of course, “lolwut” (loves2spoon).
And finally always-on-the-beating-pulse-of-the-capital London-centric news site Your Local Guardian bolstered the hype by saying bold claims “might well prove to be justified when the game is released in the App Store on February 14.”
Don’t know about you, but I’m about to explode with excitement!
