Make no mistake: Beaterator is not a game. It's a stupidly detailed, powerful - yet usable - piece of music-making software.
It's impossible to review it like a game. Judging the amount of entertainment the average 'gamer' will get from this is like scoring a drum kit out of ten; you're either an enthusiast or you're not.
Verdict
Powerful and accessible music maker that's NOT a game.
Uppers
* Powerful music tools
* Accessible Live mode
* Lots of tutorial videos
Downers
* Tutorials are a must
* In-game Social Club, please
GameDynamo - "Rockstar Games announced a special holiday sale for Grand Theft Auto III: 10 Year Anniversary Edition, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, and Beaterator in the iTunes App Store. For Android smartphone / tablet users, only GTA III can be picked up, and only on select devices (click HERE for the complete list)."
Chris Buffa (Modojo): According to multiple sources, some highly anticipated Rockstar game comes out tomorrow. L.A. something or other, with lots of guns, dead bodies and dames (ask grandpa what those are).
No surprise that it's on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Rockstar usually needs powerful tech to achieve its massive goals, but the publisher also has a rich portable history across a variety of platforms. In fact, some of the company's biggest franchises have appeared on Game Boy Advance and the iPhone.
RockstarNetwork.net has posted a holiday guide that helps you find savings on many of Rockstar Games' titles. They have even posted Pre-Order links for L.A. Noire.
Rockstar fans rejoice! Now your family has no excuse for why they didn't get you that Rockstar game for a gift!
