Oct 28, 2010If you want to bust out the rhymes of your favorite rap artists, DefJam Rapstar is your only option. By default this makes it the best game of its kind, but that doesn't mean its undeserved. While the package might not be a slick as other music games, the goods comes in the form of its precise rapping.

Xbox World 360 Magazine UKDec 28, 2010A solid debut, though the package will be a little over reliant on the community for many. [Jan 2011, p.88]

Dec 23, 2010There isn't much to the game's career mode, but this game will certainly be a sure-fire winner at parties.

Games Master UKDec 29, 2010Loads better than you'd expect. [Jan 2011, p.96]

Jan 20, 2011It has its flaws, but if you like rap or hip-hop, you'll surely have fun, especially in multiplayer.
-
Dec 29, 2010A surprisingly fun karaoke game, with a strong community and good online options. Unfortunately, censorship in many tracks brings down the overall experience.
-
Dec 23, 2010For some, the game will be a chance to get a bit drunk and mess about singing Gold Digger while pretending to be the wiry-haired teacher off of Glee. And to that end, the game satisfies rather than dazzles.
-
Dec 23, 2010Basically a Singstar game with rap. The scoring system in the game is surprisingly good and the game has some really good songs, even though some are crap. It's a little short on game modes and the carreer mode is finished in an evening, but if you like hip-hop, Rapstar is going to be a blast.
-
Dec 23, 2010Def Jam Rapstar confidently captures the swagger of the hip-hop genre with a slick combination of old-school and new-school tracks which are sure to delight any funky monkey.
-
Dec 13, 2010Overall, Def Jam Rapstar is an excellent entry to the rap karaoke genre and goes some way to achieving what fans would have been wanting from the game. With a little bit more fine tuning here and there, Def Jam Rapstar has the potential to be a very serious contender within the music game market.

Official Xbox MagazineDec 13, 2010"Quotation Forthcoming"
-
Oct 21, 2010Rapstar is a solid singing game that would benefit from more fleshed-out features in future installments. More on-disc songs, more video display options, a more robust career, better editing functions, and an improved presentation would go a long way toward moving this title from an "on point" rating to "off the chain."
-
Dec 23, 2010While it may just seem like glorified Karaoke, there is more going on here than meets the eye and a sequel could be even more fun if they polish up the interface.
-
Jan 6, 2011Thanks to Rapstar we now finally have a karaokegame that makes us rap instead of sing. The problem is Rapstar can't decide if its for the hardcore hiphop-fan or the mainstream listener. And why on earth is the foul language edited out?
-
X-ONE Magazine UKDec 25, 2010It's a fun alternative to Lips, but Rapstar is let down by a limited amount of content and bland presentation. [Issue#66, p.84]
