FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Francisco, CA – March 10, 2011 – Booyah, a leading social web and mobile entertainment company, has officially launched Nightclub City DJ Rivals, the first rhythm-based role-playing game for iPhone and iPod touch. Nightclub City DJ Rivals lets players battle to the beat by tapping and scratching to music tracks in a quest to defeat real-world challengers and unlock new items and abilities to be the best DJ in the world.
“For the first time on mobile devices, we’re offering a unique experience that combines a skill-based rhythm game and a story-driven adventure for endless replayability,” said Keith Lee, CEO, Booyah. “It’s also a great GPS multiplayer game that challenges players to own their favorite real world spots.”
In Nightclub City DJ Rivals, players take on the role of an up-and-coming indie DJ battling against the faceless conglomerate BlandCorp and Big Hits Records, who are trying to take over the city and make music boring and safe. Players battle to become bigger names in their real-world hometown and eventually take on the crafty drones of Big Hits in a series of challenging “boss” battles.
Using location-based GPS technology, Nightclub City DJ Rivals includes an expansive multiplayer mode where players can battle with friends and foes at real world locations to earn “King of the Hill” bragging rights and rewards. Become the resident DJ at your favorite local hotspots like restaurants, retail stores, theaters and nightclubs to earn cash from other Nightclub City DJ Rivals players.
