Hi, everybody. How are you doing today? Thirty sixth application review, I've got quite a few apps, 43 of them. All are actually pretty big hits that the ones I ever want seen at the top of the leader boards and one of them I finally able to get. It is called Shazam. We are going to start the review off with that one. So let us start it off.
Now I can’t really show you a preview of it but you are going to have an iPhone or you’re going to have a headset that will have microphone incorporated into the headset because what Shazam is that it will listen to through a microphone and it will tag any music song for you and give you up-to-date information on it so if you tag a song. Let us say I am walking down the street, I hear a song playing to shop window. I don’t know what the song is called. I forget and I want to know what it is.
All I have to do is push Shazam, click tag now, it will play a song. It takes about 10 seconds to tag a song and then it will come up with the artist, the song, title, where you can buy it. It will have maybe like a YouTube clips. You can go and watch like the music video. It will have the links so you can go straight directly to the iTunes Store and buy and download the song. Great application, Shazam is a free app from the App Store. You can your songs, save it on here. You will have like a music library of tag songs. It will give you all the information possible.
Shazam is a free app, if you have an iPhone or you have a headphones with a microphone incorporated in to it definitely go on and check it out. It’s a great app. It was one of the originals that come out in the App Store. It is a free app from the App Store. It works for the iPhones or any types of speaker that you have a microphone. Great app, definitely I am going to recommend it if you have one, definitely go check it out. It is a free one.
The next app that I have for you guys is called TapTap Revenge 2, the sequel to the hit game by Tapulous. Great app, they have completely just got everything from TapTap Revenge 1and they have made it better. The graphics are phenomenal. I will be showing you guys all this in the review. But anyway you got in here the main menu. This is also a free app. TapTap Revenge 2 is a free app from the App Store. It has like 150 preinstalled songs apparently. The menu as you guys see is just laid out so much better. When you start up and play mode, you have one player, two players, career mode which will be more like a guitar here. You will start with easy songs. You go down the list and to the harder and more expert songs or you want to play online.
The online has now become seamless, it’s great. It is a great system that they’ve used. Their servers are perfect for it. You can have your friends and buddies. You can nearby which I actually found out that I have do have one nearby to play or you can go to rooms. Go into the rooms and you can find there are six different rooms for each going to hard and there is quite a few people in each of these rooms. There is about 50 people and it looks like 15 people on each song it looks like so. You have quite a few options if you want to play an online song. The online is great if you have an iPod Touch. You can have to be on Wi-Fi range, if you have an iPhone you got to be little bit more of capabilities to go around. Anyway let me show some of the new two player features. We will go to a medium song and we will play the stroke nine.
So as you guys see the graphics are fantastic. Over here on the right side of the screen we now have the bar which will show you who is winning the progress and as you guys see the two players got a little bit more revamped with angled bars, angled frets and just a heck load type of graphics. These graphics are fantastic, no lag problems here, no frame rate issues, you got great seamless graphics and especially because it just such a small device. There is so much happening once with such beautiful colors, such great animations. It is pretty fantastic and pretty amazing they could pull off such a capability like this.
So we are going to go to end game, back to the main menu and as you guys see, there is a lot of loading screen too which is also a great feature because number one, I kind of got little bit of upset with some of the loading screens so let’s go into a hard song. You got a crazy amount of more songs. Now you have The Sound of Settling CatCab for Cutie, The Stroke Nine, and The Crystal Method.
So anyway, these are the same songs, different difficulties. They have now incorporated a kid’s level. So you will be able to play it really easy levels so little kids can play, have a great time and more of like a family application actually. So now pretty much anyone can download this app especially because let’s play an extreme song. You guys will see a few more things. Now they have shake left and shake the device. There is also hold button so you can hold down a button for a little bit longer and as you guys see there are doubles, two different notes at the same time.
Anyway the graphics are flawless as you guys see. That is the hold right there. Anyway great application, go out and check it out. It is called TapTap Revenge 2, the sequel to the hit top selling game TapTap Revenge, a free app also from the App Store. The last app that I got have for you guys. We are going to pause this, start the camera over because I know it is going to die on me eventually so hold on.
All ready guys, back again. I got the number one app right now on the App Store, iDracula, fantastic app and I see every single reason why it is the number one app. It is one of a kind, fantastic. It is a third person shooter. Basically you have stretch out views so you can see everything happening around you. But anyway from the main menu, what we have is play game, options instructions. So I do recommend you go check out, credits and high scores, your high scores are offline from what I believe. I haven’t seen an online high score yet and I can actually upload my name. All I have been having my high scores set as our player. That kind of bugs me.
Anyway there is an update coming out for it soon actually sometime in the early March and that update will include more levels, more weapons and two more game modes. So that won’t cost anything if you go out and buy the app now, so I definitely recommend you go check it out as soon as possible. Go in to play game, you have two different game modes. You have survival and rush. Rush is just the sweetest thing ever. I will say that until the end. Let us just start it off with survival.
Now what survival is that you are basically starting from the smallest part possible? You are starting with smaller enemies. Not quite that many, you are starting only with a pistol so you don’t have that big of weapon. You slowly gain more pistols, you gain perks which where you can choose to get more health or destroy enemies better, go faster. There is a bunch of different perks and you got to pick which ones.
Anyway let’s pause it. Up at the top part of the screen we have our help bar up here, and pause. The map up here, this is your radar that shows you where enemies are. The analog sticks are fantastic. I will show you that right now. There is left one over here kind of just controls where you move. It’s got 360 rotation and then choosing on the right side wherever you tap it will shoot. Controls are probably a little tough to get used to it at first. It probably takes you about two or three minutes to actually get really used to the controls and once you do, I am glad that they put it this way because they are fantastically set up. So as you guys see, you got more beast and demons coming at you at a time. You can go over down and pick up their inventory. I just got 10 rifle shells I think.
But anyway bottom of the screen, you can slowly go around and you pick up potions which are like health. You can pick up perks. You can choose a perky one. You can pick up different weapons which is definitely what you are going to want to do if you see stray weapon. Go get it because that will help you quite a bit, trying to find a weapon. Here is something, 10 rifle shells. I keep getting rifle shells. I need a rifle. Here is a huge swarm of them I pretty sure I like it something in here, potion that was health plus 25. All right this game included is what I am going to show you a rifle for some reason.
Anyway at the bottom of the screen when you are actually – here is a perk already, so click this perk right of the game of pause and here are just a couple of perks for example, blood sacrifice kills any monsters around at once. Pay half of your remaining health, ninja. Your ninja skills allow you to block some attacks. Power strike your monsters when we push back stronger now. Large pockets so you can now you can store more bullets in your pocket.
So there is just some pretty sweet perks so you can actually pick. That what is really cool about this game is the mission on it is going to be the same. You are not going to be going to a lot of pistol this time just to have to kill 500 enemies until I get to the next level just for an example but what you can do is you can pick different perks. You got far, you can get with a certain amount of bullets, certain weapon and usually you can just better yourself in each game.
So anyway that is going to be what I am going to show you for the survival mode. Go to the main menu and I am going to show you rush mode, my favorite of the two so far. So rush mode is you start with the biggest gun, the chain saw, the chain gun, unlimited ammo and you just have a huge swarm of enemies constantly coming at you. There is no different enemies really is just you just have these beast looking dogs just charging at you nonstop.
Unlimited ammo, no reloads and it looks really easy and they can just, I can spin around in circles. Wrong, very wrong, you have to have strategy in this. You have the background on the corners. You have to kill enemies to create paths. So you can go around. There is strategy in this and it is not easy to figure out a perfect one. My health is already going down quite a bit. It is a fun one I love playing rush. It is so fun to try to beat your own high score. Go around and kill as many demons as possible but that is basically all I'm going to show you guys right now for iDracula. It is a great app from the App Store, it’s only 99 cents. They will be having an update coming out soon. More weapons, more beast, more levels, more gameplay. So you’re definitely going to want and check it out. I don’t think they are raising the price for it but just to make sure you want to go out and get this app as soon as possible.
That is called iDracula, a 99 cent app from the App Store. So once again after we reviewed our Shazam, TapTap Revenge 2 both of those apps are free and then iDracula 99 cents from the App Store, fantastic apps, all of them not trying just to brag about them and say all the apps go out and buy them. These are awesome pretty solid apps. All of them I am definitely going to know that all beaten or will be eventually on the top part of the App Store. Shazam was in the top, iDracula is currently on the top and TapTap Revenge 2 I can almost promise that it will be on the top pretty soon.
Anyway that is all that I got for you guys you today, stay tune guys. I've got quite a few things coming in your way. I got some more reviews. One of them is going to be this sweet headset that I got sent to me. That is one I was talking about has the microphone incorporated into it. These casing which is a brick waterproof, shockproof, basically everything proof, great casing and in this case the biggest, the sweetest case ever the game grip.
It is a game controller casing for your iPod and iPhone. Stay tuned for those guys in the future reviews coming probably this week or next and you guys will be able to check out all my cases and updates with the iPod kit. I will talk to you guys later. Have a fantastic day. See you.
