DJ Hero holds a deep place in my heart. In my opinion, the first game reinvigorated a dying genre in the music game world. It packed enough originality and had a fantastic soundtrack, and is definitely one of my favorites among the genre. It was greatly improved with its sequel, but met an unfortunate demise after the failed sales shipment among most music games being pushed at the time. It is with that that I bring some positive news on the closed FreeStyle Games.
Some of the developers that worked n DJ Hero are now a part of Music In Color and are working alongside Reactify and Metropolis Group to craft yet another unique music game to be released on the iPhone. The venture is known as 8inQ and their first project is entitled Say What? The game, unlike the common runway design, has icons travel across from side to side that correspond to the lyrics of the song playing. An example given is when the word “I” is used in the song, an icon of an eye will appear across the screen and you will required to tap that. Say What? will release in the UK on July 20, with an American date not yet set.
