Dude its about time lol...u guys rock!!! I love all the new features on here haha --hit me up "bainch"

TTR3 has been in my check up list for some time now and it's finally out! Just seeing the icon on the App Store made me get all anxious and excited. It's out, it's out! Amazing game and graphics, all new improvements. Simply amazing.

I love Tap Tap 2, but I just can't find any fun here. The default graphics are a huge step down from the slick interface of #2. The taps slow down weirdly and bunch up toward the end. Viva la Vida had performance problems and got very jerky. The tutorial locked up on my first try. The downloads don't have prices until you try to purchase. The track packs are named poorly to where the top DLC on the app store is useless. I couldn't even find enjoyment in my favorite song from #2: Tap Domination. :'-( I could go on and on. This release is a disaster. Nice try guys, but you shouldn't have thrown away what worked.

Once upon a time, a group of people made a game called Tap Tap Revenge and everyone loved it. It was great because the theme was amazing, the colors were colorful, and the music made everyone feel good. But then they kept making different versions of this first great game. And each time they did they kept getting further and further away than what it used to be and why everyone loved it. . . That's why I miss the first Tap Tap Revenge. I don't enjoy the others as much as the first because the newer versions are developing into something else, something more than a music game. The way I see it, everyone loved the first Tap Tap because it was so basic yet so genious at the same time. No one had ever imagined such a type of game, but the way it was presented made it seem to fit with the iPhone. It was always added with new music from bands that most of us weren't familiar with, but we all loved them anyways and we always wanted to come back for more. Tapulous made it work. That is why it stands out from all other music games in the App Store. As the months went by, more versions were added. The most notable release after the original was Tap Tap Revenge 2. When I first saw this in the App Store I thought to myself, "Holy Sh*t! I gotta get my hands on this game! It must be good if Tapulous made Tap Tap Revenge 1, right?" This new version had a great, eye-catching theme and fantastic music, but it seems to have a more competitive edge to it than the first game. It also was made more social with the online chatrooms. This is where everything begins to drift away. I didn't feel like the game was made for the sake of playing and enjoyment, but for showing off at how cool people can tap. I guess some people like that, but Tap Tap Revenge was no longer the must have game to have for the iPhone, it was just the first one that Tapulous made. Doesn't look to special anymore right? It's kind of like the movie Transformers. The first one was amazing, and the second one was really cool, too. They had a ton more action than the first one which was cool, but a lot of that stuff just didn't seem to fit with what we enjoyed from the first one. After some other creative versions of Tap Tap Revenge are released, Tap Tap Revenge 3 was born. The menus and options are all visually appealing and it really seems like Tapulous thought it out before they put it together. The new theme has a great variety of colors that blend really well. I also noticed a much smoother feel for the game as well. Unfortunately there's a large grey track for each tap bubble to run down. It seems like this area takes away from what could be seen and enjoyed. The emphasis on the game is put more on the fact that you HAVE to hit the notes in order to do well instead of just picking the game up and playing it in order for it to be fun. Gameplay was enhanced with an accuracy meter, a time length at the top, as well as a refined multiplier indicator. These are all great, but I could do without the accuracy meter. There are also indicators at the bottom under each tap target. Having the same thing twice on the same screen seems redundant. This would be a feature that would benfit extreme players who may need it more than someone that plays on easy. I'm one of those peple that doesn't need it. I'm not trying to get a high score or beat anyone. I'm just trying to enjoy it the way I once did before, and seeing the accuracy meter judging my every single move isn't fun. As far as online gameplay goes, it is given new weapons that you can use to mess up the person in the lead. This makes it even more of a challenge than the second installment. This feature does make the game much more entertaining yet frustrating at the same time. Here I think to myself, "Why are all of these mean people trying to mess me up? I'm just trying to play the song! What did I ever do to them?" Profiles are more developed, but the avatar that is shown along with it just takes the Tapulous series to a different level than what it used to be. It really doesn't add to the gaming experience. It just seemed like the Tapulous team wanted to go where no app had gone before. It's only purpose is to show other players in the "Tap Tap Community" what your avatar looks like. That's it. Having said that, the accessories don't do a lot for me either. The Tap Track Store is very useful, but the main complaint that most people seem to have is because of the fact that track packs are now priced. This disappoints long time fans that had everything free before (with the exception of the add-on expansions, such as Coldplay or NIN). Personally nobody can really blame Tapulous. Nothing is free forever so I guess we all saw it coming anyway. Tap Tap Revenge 3 is a new step in a new direction, but it just seems it is forcing others to conform to that direction as well. All of the features fit together well and the application designers from Tapulous have proven the Apple community who is in control of the App Store. The quality of the game is great and the options are clear and easy to navigate through. Its just that the game just doesn't seem to fit with what has already been presented from it's predecessors. The game is no longer just a music game. It is a music, social, and anything else you can think of game. I know that Tap Tap Revenge 3 will do well, but it will not be the same compared to what the first players have experienced from the original. I'll be staying with the first title. If you are a hard core player who hates not knowing when to hit the notes at the right time and is dying to be to best tapper in the world go ahead and get this game. If you are a new player, it's a toss up. If you want to listen to me I'd start with the original. If not, you're not missing out on anything. BTW please rate this review. Yes, No, Maybe so...

I know it just came out, but there are barely any songs that are free for download, and songs that I loved from TTR2 I have to pay for to get in a bundle. What's with that? Why not have a feature that lets you import the songs you downloaded in TTR2, like how you could import songs from paid Tap Tap games into TTR2. I understand the premise behind the paid bundles, but why would you make me pay for songs that I could play just by quitting the app and opening up the previous iteration of the game? Here's an idea; have the coins that are used for avatars apply to some song bundles, or just individual songs. That's something else that should be addressed, why do I HAVE to buy a bundle when I only want one or two songs? The Killers bundle is a perfect example. The only song in there I know well and like is Mr. Brightside, and I want to be able to purchase that separately from the rest of the bundle. Maybe with a large amount of coins earned or by spending 25 cents or so could purchase a song separate from its respective bundle.

Too Many paid songs. Hard to find free ones. Menus reset to top after viewing a song.

Needs more songs less monny

In my eyes, Tap Tap Revenge 2.6 is the best. No need for those in-app purchases! In this game, you have to buy songs! This interface is no where as nice, but it is still worth 99 cents. I know I am definitely sticking to Tap Tap Revenge 2.6 over this. Good try though Tapulous

This is a great app.

Tgis app i great and if u like guitar hero or the other taptaps, it is deffinatley worth a buck

Good! But should be free!!!!

Best app EVER! speechless I am right now... Commense drooling in awe in 3...2..1.. BUY APP NOW!

They've really outdone themselves this time. GET THIS GAME!!!

I have been waiting for this app for a long time!!!! great online play, and MUCH more organized than the previous versions! the quick play feature is nice to have, and the 16x multiplier is new, too. I really like the timing guide for the notes, so you can more accurately tap when the notes appear. Great job, Tapulous!!!!

I have been waiting for ttr3 for a long time. this app is great. the interface is much nicer than ttr2 and is overall a 5 star app!!!

I just feel like I got ripped off right now. You had to buy the game and now you need to pay more to get the songs you get for free on TT2? That doesn't make any sense. Just stick with TT2 until they allow us to transfer the downloaded music to TT3 or just wait until they come up with a BETTER solution. This shouldve been free in my opinion

Great interface and fast loading times...time to go back to playing it!

Am i the first person to send review or to even buy this app??

Don't hesitate BUY NOW

There are licensing issues at hand with previously free songs that now cost money, I'm guessing. People don't seem to realize that the devs don't owe the rights to any of these songs. They can't give these songs away for free without permission from the artists who actually recorded them. The free agreement between TTR and these various recording artists was likely for one game only, TTR2, and a new game, TTR3, means new agreements. Tracks in Rock Band and Guitar Hero must be relincensed. If you want to use them in seperate games, you must repurchase them. Gwen Stefani, for example, is not licensing her tracks to the devs of TTR so that they can then turn around and give those tracks away to us for free. TTR HAS to charge for these premium tracks. The indie stuff is still free, but the Record label stuff cannot be free. People need to deal with it and stop crying about it. The music industry is a business.

Oh my gosh you have to pay for any song you want to download! The game only comes with like 10 and past that you have to pay for everything!!!

This is my favorite tapulous app yet! AMAZING!

I love this app!!!

The guys back at Tapulous have done it again by unveiling Tap Tap 3, the latest installment to their tapping and shaking based game. The concept is pretty much the same to its predecessors as you tap the orbs that come down and shake your device when you are prompted to, making it user friendly to veterans and new-comers as well. While the game holds the same concept, some new innovations have been added to make the game seem fresh and new. For starters, you now use a customizable avatar drawing that can you can customize through its clothing, hair style, accesories, background, and gender just as you would in Rock Band or in Guitar Hero. It may seem great because its following in the footsteps made by these iconic games, but the customization is anything but. You are only allowed to customize the avatar through a series of complicated menues. And after shelling out some of the "coins" that you win as you progress through the game, you may be a little displeased as I was when you see the useless changes that the customization does because of the inability to see your avatar in the piece of clothing you are interested in. My avatar did not look good in a color that turned out as pink. On to the gameplay, it remains the same as from the games leading up to TTR3, but some changes were made. During the progression of songs, series of gems come up that resemble Overdrive Notes or Star Power Notes in Rock Band and Guitar Hero, respectively. Strike them all, and you are given an amplifier that can crank up your multiplier from 8x to 16x. That was pretty cool, in my opinion, and I did like the change in the interface making the game look and feel great. As in previous games, the player often had to shake the device to mark the arrows coming down but in those games players had to violently jerk their device causing brief disruptions in gameplay. Not anymore in this game. The game uses the slightest of movement from the Accelerometer to mark the arrows and makes the gameplay flow better. All in all, gameplay is great and refreshing, although the limited amount of initial music may bring down the new innovations. In this game, the new use of the music store is where it really irritates me. As in Rock Band and Guitar Hero, players can download DLC (downloadable content) to expand the library of the game. TTR3 also took this to its advantage and launched its own store; this is where confusion kicks in. As you look through the offers, you may find a song you may like by an artist but also may find a song that is not so popular with you. Try and buy a single and you're hit with a notice about buying Track Packs rather than an actual single. That's right. You have to buy an entire track pack to play a single and get stuck with songs that you are not all too crazy about. The free content isn't helping the store either. In previous games, you found artists and bands such as Asher Roth, Coldplay, Lady GaGa, Rise Against, Senses Fail, and a multitude of many others in the free content area, officially making this the cornerstone to the app's success. In this game, you will find none of these artists in the free content section, rather you will find lesser known musicians with a generic and awkward sound. But what about the major bands out there? Buy the track packs, not the singles but the track packs. The interface of the store is also fairly confusing as you can get lost as I have trying to find my way through the store's confusion and many menues. This was just the disappointment of the app. All in all, the app is fairly fun with new improvements to the game however can throw players off through the various menues and the depressingly expensive music store. I highly recommend it to rich kids and adults, as well as to people who have a vast amount of patience.

People are complaining that the good songs need to be payed for, but do you really think that blink 182, the foo fighters or the smashing pumpkins would give out their songs for free? The biggest song in the old game was "last resort", you can't top the old game with songs that were given away. The only thing they sold out on is selling songs that were free on the old game. So far so goog but I know they can't resist ruining the game with pop and hiphop

THIS IS DA BEST GAME FOR THE IPOD TOUCH / IPHONE!!!!  YOU MUST GET TTR3!!! I WOULD PAY 5$ FOR THIS APP!!!

So many awesome features to this app. Quite an improvement from TTR 2. Plus tha Tapulous team is so supportive this platform can only get better

Hey, this is free now. I was gonna buy it but now i don't have to. Just for that you get 5 stars ;) ------ Anyway, this game would be O.K.,pretty good, to buy, but is DEFINATLEY a winner as it is currently free. Probably one of, if not the best free music game in the app store. I suggest you get it.

Its an awsome game and worth the money

It's okay. The song list is alright. I wish you could import songs from TTR2. That would be cool. You need to fix the avatars though. I can't take shorts off mine. I liked them but I don't really want purple swim shorts on my chick in the middle of winter. Lol. They won't come off! Other than that it's pretty good.

Boring, slow, poor interface, bad selection of music, and you have to pay for the good music

Best app... I was referred by a Apple sales associate about the application and downloaded the app... the rest was history! I was fun and WAY better than button pushing guitar hero... =)

This is the best game for the iPhone ever. I can't stop playing

Best.game.ever.

This is by far one of the best games for the ipod/ipod touch. the only problem is that the songs cost way to much,first of all some packages are more than the game and we pay as much as we would as if wewere buying a regular song on itunes. But still with that this game deserves a five star rating because it is a great game. THUMBS UP TO TAPULOUS!!!!!!

It is a really fun but I checked my photos and found a photo of a game I was playing but I didn't see a take picture button
