Rhythm genre pioneer Konami has launched the latest title in its expansive music games catalog. RhymePlayer ($1.99) challenges players to tap song lyrics in time to the beat of a background music track.
RhymePlayer’s gameplay closely resembles Konami’s iPhone dance game Dance Dance Revolution S. Scrolling lyrics appear at the bottom of the screen and approach a timing line at the top.
Once the appropriate lyric reaches the timing line, players must tap the screen to sync the words to the song.
RhymePlayer includes a selection of five officially licensed music tracks:
- Bell Biv DeVoe – Poison
- The Cover Girls – Show Me
- Jackson 5 – ABC
- Lady Gaga – Just Dance
- Lifehouse – First Time
Konami has a neat concept here, but with only five songs and two difficulty levels, there isn’t much variety or replay incentive. An in-app store offering new songs would be a great addition — here’s hoping that Konami adds one in a future update.
