![]() ![]() There everyone is trying to claim maximum control over the console by playing hooks of increasing intensity and variety so as to prevent anyone else singing or playing over them. ![]() There’s a party mode where everyone is playing downs collaboratively to create a Sick Tune. You’re often presented with a game experience that feels extremely inelegant.Īssuming you get past that, the game offers several modes for play. You’ll then go through the occasionally frustrating exercise of trying to get the two to talk to each other once again. ![]() In my experience, as soon as you go to one of these videos it’ll immediately disconnect the app from the console. Instead, it directs you to videos on the smartphone app, and these are not actually directly integrated into the software. The game doesn’t come with a rules manual (thanks XCOM for pioneering that particular and spectacularly cheap move). ![]() That’s frustrating, made more so by the curiously disjoined nature of the app. So, the first problem is this – the console has all of the weird connectivity and syncing issues you’d expect with technology at the cutting edge of gaming. You’ll lay these down on the console, and the console will in turn lay down the beats. Those show the legal assignments of the musical snippets that make up your deck of cards. It’s marked with various bays for cards, and each bay is linked to sets of colours. It’s all gangly plastic and comedy retro buttons. The console looks a bit like what happens when a Speak and Spell becomes a sullen, resentful and lumbering teen. You take possession of an electronic console that pairs up with a smartphone app. On the other hand, if you can pick it up for £25 like I did? Yeah, maybe give it a whirl. Dropmix is more of a toy – a weird and inventive music-based scratchpad that lets you Drop Phat Beats with sonic Pokemon like you were the DJ at Ash Ketchun’s second divorce party. It’s not really much of a game, even though it purports to be one. Not at the £120 RRP price point at which it was released. I’m going to say right up front that I don’t think you should run out and buy Dropmix. TL DR: Recommendation here is going to depend on factors well outside the control of anyone reading ![]()
