Indie record label Delicious Vinyl has released self-themed rhythm game which includes a number of hits from their catalog.
We don't expect this one to have much appeal amongst our younger audience, but some of you are going to really enjoy the song list:
- Young MC, "Bust A Move"
- Tone Loc, "Funky Cold Medina"
- Tone Loc, "Wild Thing (Peaches RMX)"
- The Pharcyde, "Passin' Me By"
- Masta Ace, "Born To Roll"
- Mr. Vegas (feat. Pitbull & Lil'Jon), "Pull Up (Club Mix)"
- Masta Ace, "Slaughtahouse (Eminem RMX)"
As a rhythm game, it offers a reasonably fun experience (on the harder difficulties) with additional sound effects (samples, scratching) when you hit the note properly. Unfortunately, the actual experience of scratching along with the music just isn't nearly as satisfying as hitting more traditional beats. The timing isn't as obvious and the audio/visual feedback is more limited. But if you're a big fan of the music, you're not going to find these songs in Rock Band.
