It's excellent, but short. As a party game: 4 stars. As a 1 or 2 player experience, 3 stars and here's why:

Everything it does, it does well. It has an excellent selection of hip-hop with a few modern hits thrown in to not make it feel entirely old school. It's definitely skewed toward the old school and hip hop greats. There's even a track with no video, cus they just couldn't live without that hit. The word recognition is phenomenal. But when it comes right down to it, this is rap karaoke and karaoke is definitely a party game. As far as Karaoke goes: this is a very short list to choose from. Sitting by yourself, you'll blow through the 5 levels (around 40 songs) & unlock the few locked songs in no time and then from that point it has very little replay value. There are some extra modes and online features to go through, but nothing too compelling. You might want to take another stab at your favorites, but other than that I don't think most people will play much by themselves. With more company, the game is a blast. The list is just long enough for everyone to find something they like and know well enough to jump right in (it's really tough if you try something you don't know the lyrics to at all). Fortunately, they've done a good job of regularly putting out downloadable songs at an extra each to give the game some more life. Also worth noting: all the songs are censored (which is not surprising) but it can make it harder. The blanks can interrupt your flow. And some of the more foul mouthed artists (lookin at u, lil kim) have entire lines blanked out, several in a row in her case. As an adult, I wish there were some option to pay for and download uncensored versions. But I completely understand why the retail copy has to be censored.

this game is soooo much fun! from the second i got it i couldn't put it down. this is really a test of how well you've listened to your favorite rap music. this is like rap a karaoke game. i think u should def get a second mic tho to play with a friend since the bundle only comes with one. (even tho i enjoyed playing all by myself)this is one of my top ps3 games for sure.

Buy Def Jam Rapstar Bundle Now

I love the concept of Rapstar and the fact that I can now enjoy some of my favorite rap songs a-la-Guitar Hero, but the game is not without a few slight disappointments.

While the game is tons of fun and I'd never get tired just rapping (no guitars, drums, turntable, keyboard, etc), the game is censored, and somewhat oddly so. There are references to alcohol and weed that are kept in, while some are taken out and I'm really not sure why. Some curse words are in there and some aren't, which I'm guessing varies based on context. There are some songs (Lil Wayne A Milli, for example) where you'll be rapping one or two words in long lines for about 4 lines. You can obviously still say what you want, but it sounds weird to have the vocals drop out; plus, it's fun to be able to see lyrics to some songs you might not be as knowledgeable about.

That's my only critique really. The music videos with the songs are great to have, the way the game works to register your rap is awesome, and it's tons of fun to play. If you're a rap fan, you'll probably like this game, despise the censorship, but still love playing it anyways 'cause no one can censor you :)

It comes with ONE wired mic. I suggest you buy TWO wireless mics from Amazon or eBay, if you want the full effect of this game. So much fun when you have more than one person playing along. Plus when you get the wireless mics you can use it for other games like Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc. Game is ok after a while and you have to buy more song online for about a dollar or more.

I ordered the RapStar bundle pack a few months ago. It was a great deal and arrived ahead of scheduled time frame. Thanks J&S Games!
