Here's one for you rock fans out there. Tap Beats Heavy Metal is a Guitar Hero style game available for all BlackBerry 10 smartphones and it's pretty sweet. As you will see from the video - once you start the game you'll only have access to one music track. Unlocking more is done by doing well with the first track and earning enough points to unlock the next.
Just like Guitar Hero you have four colored tabs at the base of the display and as the corresponding notes drop down the frets you need to tap the correct tab just at the right moment. The graphics and colors are bright and crisp and the music tracks available sound great booming out of the BlackBerry speaker. Rig this one up to the TV via HDMI and you could be in for even more fun, although I'm not sure the neighbors will approve!
Up at the top of the screen you'll see your current score and also a 'Streak' counter for when you pull off some nifty riffs. The game isn't quite the same as playing on a games console but for a native BlackBerry 10 app it gets the thumbs up from me.
Clearly, you don't have to me a rock fan to enjoy this one, although It will probably help, but either way the game play is smooth and a bunch of fun.
Tap Beats Heavy Metal falls into the lowest price group in BlackBerry World so it will only cost you £0.75/$0.99 and whether you're a Guitar Hero fan or not I'd say this one is priced just right.
