Remember Def Jam Rapstar? The SingStar for… rap? It had promise, but ultimately fizzled on the vine and died without making much of a splash. Now, making things worse, a record company is trying to squeeze the game’s creators for millions.
While other members of Team Kotaku are busy flying home today, I had one last E3 appointment to attend: spend some time with 4mm Game’s hip-hop karaoke title Rapstar.
4mm Games – the new studio formed by the two of the guys who founded Rockstar – have announced their debut game. And it’s called Def Jam Rapstar, a hip-hop karaoke game.
