Bop it Beats
Hi all,
I just got the Bop it Beats game. This is the latest Bop It produced by Hasbro. Unlike previous games, this one actually has four different songs that it selects from and will occasionally switch between throughout the game. It looks somewhat like a record player, with a round "Bop It" button at one end of the device, and two round turntables taking up most of the surface area on both sides of the device. Around the outside of the bop it button is this unit's speakers. Pressing Bop it turns the game on. Spinning whichever turntable is facing upward changes between the five games. The games are Classic, Classic party, Dj, DJ Party, and Remix. For Classic and DJ, turning the other turntable, the one facing down, adjusts the difficulty level. Pressing and holding Bop it for a couple seconds announces the high scores. Unfortunately, there is no volume control or headphone jack on this device.
Classic mode is your standard reaction game that is found in
most Bop it games. The possible commands are:
Bop it: press the button on the end of the device.
The next four commands all refer to whichever turntable is currently facing up, and work identically on both.
Spin it: spin the turntable clockwise.
Reverse: spin the turntable counterclockwise.
Scratch it: quickly spin the turntable a small distance in one direction and then in the other direction.
Flip it: turn the device over. This also changes song.
Repeat: repeat whatever the last given command was.
In DJ mode, you get a series of commands, and need to repeat them in order. You get one point for each command performed, and apparently, five bonus points for doing the commands in time to the music.
Difficulty levels: There are three difficulty levels: Rookie, Expert, and Lights only. Initially, only rookie mode is unlocked in the classic game, but all three are unlocked in DJ mode. Lights only mode appears to be a bit of a misnomer, as
it actually plays more like the beatbop mode from previous games and appears to be completely accessible.
Have any of you picked this game up and what do you think? Personally, I think this is a worthwhile addition to any Bop It fan's collection.
