Beat it! to iPhone and iPod Touch

Beat it! is an upcoming game for the iPhone and iPod touch. It is not a rhythm game. It is a music game. In this game you do not just need to hit the notes with the beat, you must deconstruct a music clip and then try to recreate it. This game is believed to have much potential.

Here is how the game works: A short clip is played while you listen to it a couple times in order to get the notes down. After that, you tap squares on a grid in order to create a line of music which sounds like the clip you just heard. You have the ability to turn squares on or off by simply tapping them. While you create the clip, a line moves over the grid and plays your selection. If you have placed a correct note in the right place of a measure then the square will sparkle. There is five different worlds that you must beat and each world gets harder and harder as you go. For example, new instruments will keep getting added represented by a new line added onto the grid.

A game mode that may interest people is the free play mode which allows you to make your own music clips. Soon after the games release, a feature that will allow you to share your clips and comment on other players clips.

This game will be available in late October for the price of $2.99.

New iPod Touch

In the previous week, Apple announced that there will be a new upcoming version of the iPod Touch. Not only will these new models have a higher storage capacity, but they will also be up to fifty percent faster than the previous iPod Touch. MacWorldran a couple of benchmarks that are for this claim. Dan Frake wrote for this site:

“For gamers, the more exciting improvement is that the 32GB and 64GB models are allegedly 50 percent faster than the second-generation models and include support for OpenGL ES 2.0, which provides advanced graphics capabilities to mobile devices. Just as the iPhone 3GS was faster than the iPhone 3G at everything, the new iPod touch feels much faster at any task you throw at it: applications launch (and quit) faster, Web pages load more quickly, processor-intensive games and programs perform better — you name it.”

The improved performance will be even more apparent as more OpenGL ES 2.0 games come out. Although the iPod Touch’s improvements will probably keep it on top as the best out of all media players, tough competition has arrived. Microsoft’s Zune HD is definitely going to be a hit. One thing that I think iPod Touch really needs to ensures its reign at the top is to have camera functionality. This would make it the ultimate media player.
