 DISAPPOINTING June 21, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This game is garbage. I can't believe I thought it would actually be good and I bought it, but that's just my own stupidity. Half the songs on here could be replaced by much better, classic rap songs. The game is terrible at judging the words you say and even if you're on beat or not. Maybe it's more fun and better to the average music listener, but you'd think in order to make a game like this, they would have gotten real rap experts' input. Another thing, WAY too easy. I beat it in 2 hours, and there's not much more you can do after you beat the game in career mode. LET DOWNNNNN
 too many faults February 6, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Get On Da Mic is the hip-hop version of Karaoke Revolution, just with too many faults. When I first rented the game, I thought it would be an excellent game, fulfilling the dreams of upcoming rap stars. However, as I progressed, I learnt that the game is too short and there are not enough songs to choose from.
Don't get me wrong, I respect Eidos for finallly bringing out a game where you can rap to a beat but there are just too many faults to give this game a 4 star rating.
Get On Da Mic judges your performance by how well you can fit your rapping to the recorded raps. However, all the songs on this game are rerecorded, meaning that some are slightly different from the original version. To top that up, you wouldn't even be able to perform either hooks or choruses in some songs, which sometimes is the best part of the song (X Gon Give it to Ya). Since some songs contain explicit lyrics, Eidos censored the explicit content and expect you to say it. If this is so, why blur it out in the first place? This game didn't have to get a "T" Rating. Another funny thing is that you don't actually have to say the words, you can just mumble jumble or do whatever and you'll still get the line right.
The game is broken down into several modes- career, which is where your 8 Mile journey begins in front of a mirror to a world tour, exhibition, where you can pick any song and rap, practice, same as exhibition but no score meter and freestyle, where you can bust your own freestyle out to a beat. Multiplayer is the same but with 2 players and the game allows you to use an EyeToy, so instead of using the game's background, you can see yourself rap.
The graphics are too great and there's no real point buying things like cars, jets, bikes, houses, stereos etc. as there's no use of it in the game. So basically, you're only earning money to buy clothes, that's about all. But not even the bling-bling is going to get you anywhere, it's not like your going to get your dream girl.
Overall, Get On Da Mic is a bit of a disappointment, though it can be fun just to muck around. I feel much more could be done to this game like not using other rejected American Idol singers to sing the songs as they are absolute crap at it. Its a 3 star for getting the upcoming rap stars (or whoever thinks they're gonna be big) off the back seat Karaoke Revolution left them on.

Best birthday party ever October 8, 2004
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
My wife and I recently had a birthday party for our 13 year old son. Among the gifts he received was a copy of "Get on Da Mic". At first we didn't know what to think and were concerned about the rap content being offensive etc. you can't be too careful these days. Once my wife and I checked it out the kids had a chance to play the game and the entire party spent the next three hours completely entertained and laughing hysterically. What a fantastic concept. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants a more modern version of traditional Karaoke. Thank you for this great product.
