The chat client is carried over from TTR2, and there’s a news feed taken from the official website. Enter your details, and get your scores published to your Facebook page. You get the usual online leaderboards, as well as Facebook integration. Social networking is a core feature of the game. Granted, some of their slower songs just wouldn’t be suitable, but 10 songs from 4 studio albums… Maybe throw in more mixes? The Tap Tap games have download functionality built in, so it’ll be interesting to see if the small number of included songs is due to Tapulous waiting to implement in-app song purchases (available with iPhone 3.0). The limited number of songs is disappointing, given that even the Nine Inch Nails version includes 13 tracks. All the songs are playable at launch, with a locked ‘boss track’ for each level of difficulty. The latter isn’t a huge loss there are only 10 tracks included (11 including a Thin White Duke Mix of “Viva La Vida”), so you wouldn’t have a very long career anyway. Unfortunately, the online multiplayer option available in TTR2 has been mysteriously omitted from this release, along with location features and career mode. As your opponent plays, a progress bar at the top of the screen shows your own score at the corresponding stage in the game. The recipient has to open the email on their own iPhone/iPod and click on a link in the email, which then launches the game. It works surprisingly well I did experience a very slight bit of jerkiness on my iPhone, but only on the extremely busy parts.Ĭhallenge mode is quasi-multiplayer – after finishing a level, you can send an email challenge to an opponent. There is a multiplayer option in 2-player mode, the game screen splits in half, and each opponent plays the exact same game on opposite ends of the iPhone/iPod. After awhile, you end up hitting the tappers anyway, but it’s a good starting point for beginners. Instead of hitting the tappers, you just tap anywhere on the screen. If all that sounds a little too frenzied, there’s a new ‘kids’ mode available. Multitouch also comes into play – on the harder settings, you have to hold up to three targets simultaneously, while alternating between tapping and shaking. The psychedelia goes into overdrive, and you earn octuple points for a brief period of time. At some points in the game, you can shake to enter ‘Revenge Mode’.
