I’m sorry but, I totally love Tap Tap Revenge…seriously who doesn’t!! So, I was excited to hear about the release of Tap Tap Revenge 2 yesterday. The new version of TTR adds some cool new features. Below is the App Store description of the new app (talking about all the new features) and a couple demo videos (one of which is seriously funny!)! The best part is the app is free!! You will totally want to check it out! You can also check out Nate True’s blog post about the new Tap Tap Revenge 2 as well as Tapulous’s blog post.

“It’s back! Sporting rich new features, an all-new catalog of more than 150 free tracks, and three awesome ways to play with your friends, Tap Tap Revenge 2 is the sequel to the most popular game on the App Store.

Tap Tap Revenge 2 features a completely new gaming engine with awesome new graphics and effects, making for a more immersive 3D experience. As you progress through each song, the colors and effects get more intense. On the higher levels, we’ve introduced “Tap & Hold” and “Multi-Tap” features that make the game even more fun.

The download catalog features over 150 great FREE songs. There’s something for everyone: rock, dance, electronica, pop, hip hop, even country music. The catalog includes hits from Death Cab for Cutie, The Crystal Method, Daft Punk, Weezer and Nine Inch Nails, to name just a few. Every Thursday, we add more awesome free tracks from featured artists. And since Tap Tap Revenge 2 is for everyone, we’ve added a fun new Kids mode that even two-year olds can enjoy.

Tap Tap Revenge 2 offers THREE ways to play with your friends. The addictive new Challenge mode lets you send an email to your friends, challenging them to beat you on the game you just played. The progress bar will let your friends see at all times how they stack up against your play, and we’ll let you know how they did! Two Player Split-Screen mode sports an all-new look, progress bar, and catchup balls, and is perfect for when you want to share your iPod touch or iPhone with a friend. Go online to play with friends or people nearby using the vastly improved Online Play.

Career mode lets you progress through the game, and share that with your friends.

Frequent tournaments and contests, and weekly new songs by top artists mean that there is always something new to greet you when you boot up Tap Tap Revenge 2.”

Thanks to DJContagious for this review of Tap Tap Revenge!! Tap Tap Revenge by Tapulous, is a remake of Nate True’s original Installer app, Tap Tap Revolution. Tapulous bought it off of him, so there are no legal suits involved here!

TTR is a FREE app in the App Store, under the Games category. The app is really nice looking, with everything functioning professionally and smoothly. When you open the app, you will a screen that says “Tap Tap”. That will soon expand to the Main Menu which includes the options One Player, Two Player, Tutorial, Download More Tracks, and Options.

One Player allows you to play by yourself in portrait mode. When you press it, you get the options; Easy, Medium, Hard, and Extreme Tracks…each with 2 tracks put in already (except Extreme, which only has one). When you select a song, a screen similar to the old TTR shows up with the song playing in the background. When you tap a note correctly, the line in which you tapped starts to “wiggle” in an electric way. When you miss a note, the iPhone vibrates (iPod Touch does not vibrate) and the word “MISS” appears in big red letters.

Two Player brings up the same levels of difficulty, except when you start “tapping”, you will notice another tap bar across from you.

Tutorial teaches you the basics of the app and how to play, for new-comers.

Download More Tracks allows you to improve your song database with more songs to tap to, however right now there are no available tracks to download, for any difficulty, so enjoy what you have.

Options brings up 2 options: Shakes and Tapulous Profile. Shakes allows you to enable or disable the tilt feature in game play, when you can tilt a certain direction instead of tapping the line. Tapulous Profile brings you to a screen titled “Identity”. Here you can enter a Username, E-Mail, and even attach a photo.

Currently there is a contest being held for TTR. If you enter an Identity, you can enter it. It’s a contest to see who can get the highest score in the entire app, and the grand prize winner gets $300! That’s a 16GB iPhone 3G right there! So if I were you, I would obtain this app, practice, and enter!
The only downside to this app is that you can’t tap to music in your song library, which was one of my favorite features in the past TTR’s.

It’s current version is 1.0.

So go and get Tap Tap Revolution by Tapulous today, in the App Store (wired or wirelessly!). Below is a demo video and some screenshots.

Update: Below is also a new demo video of Tap Tap Revenge showing a lot more of the new features than the leaked demo video we saw a few days ago. There is still no indication of when these apps will be available in the App Store.
