TAG Games Drop Some Phat B-Boy Beats
by Chris Thomas on Tuesday 16th Feb 2010

Name? Cosmic F. Style? Outerspace. Special moves? The moonwalk... the robot... the zero G.

TAG Games and Mobile Pie are hoping to breathe some life into the partially stagnated rhythm genre of games with their latest title B-Boy Beats. The game can be likened to one of those Dance Dance Revolution arcade games but for your fingers. We spoke with Will Luton the Creative producer at Mobile Pie last week who is probably the best person to explain the game mechanics...

"It's a rhythm action game, which probably makes you think of Guitar Hero, right? Except it's not as dull and rehashed as what we've seen on the iPhone so far. B-Boy Beats turns your hand into a funky dancing machine - your fingers become your arms and legs as you break dance your way around New York City, meeting weird, sexy and outright cool characters and break dance against them to claim some turf. The way it works is totally different to the standard 'tap this circle, tap that circle' rubbish that's floating around on the App Store - you'll always need to keep your fingers down unless you're required to step, so it actually feels like you're dancing. It's a very weird sensation at first, but once you're in to it you get hooked really quickly."

For the full interview with Will head over here.

The game features include...

- 16 tracks from the rising stars of underground hip hop including MC Frontalot, Optimus Rhyme, Id Obelus, Ultraklystron, Rai and Magitek.

- Some of the most original music game on iPhone today

- 7 NYC crews each with their own turf for you to face off against

- 10 authentic break-dance moves to learn

- Easy and Hard difficulty levels for extra replay value

- Open Feint social network integration

All of these spammy comments seem a bit ridiculous!
