![]() ![]() To celebrate the launch of the game, Tapulous is holding the “Tapulous Coldplay Edition Contest”. Still, if multiplayer isn’t a big deal and you like their songs, give the game a go. If not for the rather glaring lack of online multiplayer, I’d have no reservations recommending Tap Tap Revenge: Coldplay Edition to fans and non-fans alike but as it is, people aren’t going to want to pay for a game with less features than the free version. With TTR2, I had to hunt for tracks I was familiar with and download them, but practically everybody has heard (and liked) at least one Coldplay song. I tried TTR2 briefly but just couldn’t get into it I’m a very casual gamer, so I like being able to just jump into a game and start playing. I’m not a huge Coldplay fan, so I’m surprised by how much I’m enjoying the game. I don’t know if the omission of online multiplayer has anything to do with the game’s stability, but I didn’t experience any crashes, unlike TTR2 which seems quite crash-prone. The chat client is carried over from TTR2, and there’s a news feed taken from the official website. Enter your details, and get your scores published to your Facebook page. You get the usual online leaderboards, as well as Facebook integration. Social networking is a core feature of the game. Granted, some of their slower songs just wouldn’t be suitable, but 10 songs from 4 studio albums… Maybe throw in more mixes? The Tap Tap games have download functionality built in, so it’ll be interesting to see if the small number of included songs is due to Tapulous waiting to implement in-app song purchases (available with iPhone 3.0). The limited number of songs is disappointing, given that even the Nine Inch Nails version includes 13 tracks. All the songs are playable at launch, with a locked ‘boss track’ for each level of difficulty. The latter isn’t a huge loss there are only 10 tracks included (11 including a Thin White Duke Mix of “Viva La Vida”), so you wouldn’t have a very long career anyway. Unfortunately, the online multiplayer option available in TTR2 has been mysteriously omitted from this release, along with location features and career mode. As your opponent plays, a progress bar at the top of the screen shows your own score at the corresponding stage in the game. The recipient has to open the email on their own iPhone/iPod and click on a link in the email, which then launches the game. It works surprisingly well I did experience a very slight bit of jerkiness on my iPhone, but only on the extremely busy parts.Ĭhallenge mode is quasi-multiplayer – after finishing a level, you can send an email challenge to an opponent. There is a multiplayer option in 2-player mode, the game screen splits in half, and each opponent plays the exact same game on opposite ends of the iPhone/iPod. After awhile, you end up hitting the tappers anyway, but it’s a good starting point for beginners. Instead of hitting the tappers, you just tap anywhere on the screen. If all that sounds a little too frenzied, there’s a new ‘kids’ mode available. Multitouch also comes into play – on the harder settings, you have to hold up to three targets simultaneously, while alternating between tapping and shaking. ![]() ![]() The psychedelia goes into overdrive, and you earn octuple points for a brief period of time. At some points in the game, you can shake to enter ‘Revenge Mode’. ![]()
