Def Jam Rapstar gets UK street date
Word to your mothers.
Konami has announced that hip-hop karaoke game Def Jam Rapstar will be released on 5th November.
The game will be available on PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.
Developer 4mm Games has taken the opportunity to announce more songs in the game. They are Salt-N-Pepper's "Push It", Biz Markie's "Just a Friend", Drake's "Best I Ever Had", Outkast's "So Fresh, So Clean" and Tinchy Stryder feat. N-Dubz's "Number 1". The latter is exclusive to the UK. What a shame.
4mm Games has also revealed that DJ Premier and Just Blaze will provide beats for the Freestyle Mode. This, Def Jam hopes, will inspire budding rappers to spit their lyrics all over the game's tailored community site so agents can lap-up hopefuls.

Surely in the same way you could sing random lyrics to Singstar songs and simply ensure your pitch was correct? I don't see the difference.

Being able to 'beat the system' doesn't seem like it would be that much of a problem - surely these are mostly about the fun of singing/rapping (I wouldn't know, this type of thing would be my gaming hell).
edit: In fact, in a rap game, being able to make up your own words in time with the beat seems like it could almost be a feature rather than a fault. Freestyle mode.

But I mean, with rapping there is no pitch to speak of. So you'd always be spot on regardless. Argh, this is difficult to describe.
