Tap Tap Revenge 4 has just hit the Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and it will be interesting to see how the game does for multiple reasons. This will be the first in the series since it was acquired by Disney and we’ll see if these music games are still as popular as they once were.
Tap Tap Revenge 4 brings you the music gaming you’d expect from the series, as it features tracks from Lady Gaga, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance and other bands which are hip and cool. You can also look forward to:
– In game “Like” feature: Hit the “Like” button on your favorite tracks, and get an avatar display of who agrees with you
– Apple Game Center integration
– A rocking new Arcade Mode
– Retina Display Compatibility
– New global leaderboards with up-to-the-minute scores
– A re-imagined look, wild new graphics, and a redesigned interface
Tap Tap Revenge used to be one of the biggest hits that came from the App Store and it would routinely be the go-to app when you wanted to show off your shiny iPhone. The company that created Tap Tap Revenge, Tapulous, was even acquired by Disney thanks to all of its success.
But like the Rock Band series on the consoles, the music gaming business appears to be on a downward slope. Sure, it is still fun to rock out to some tunes while playing a game but I don’t know if Tap Tap Revenge 4 will be as bit of a hit as the previous versions were.
Maybe it’s a sign that mobile gaming has matured to more complex games like Rage HD and Infinity Blade. I know the graphics on those two can impress even the most jaded mobile gamer.
Tap Tap Revenge 4 can be downloaded here (iTunes link) for free and users can purchase more tracks via in-app buys.
