Now You Can Bop It, Pull It, Spin It, Twist It, And More On Your iPad
September 16, 2011
Hasbro's frantic reaction-based toy, Bop It!, is now available in a digitally optimized form for iPad. It's much like the iPhone version that EA released in early February, just with bigger and fancier graphics and a new party mode.
Bop It! for iPad works just like the original Hasbro toy in the sense that you have to listen for and follow commands. The trick is to respond as quickly and efficiently as possible in order to obtain the highest score. Of course, your iPad doesn't have a bunch of plastic doodads hanging off of it, so you'll have to make do by touching and swiping the screen with multiple fingers, and tilting and spinning your device in different directions.
Although you're missing out on physically twisting and pulling things, this new iPad version of Bop It! does offer a little something extra that the original toy simply can't: tons of modes and Bopjects!
The game includes four separate solo modes that have you doing everything from reacting as quickly as possible to commands to interacting with up to six Bopjects at a time. The four multiplayer modes allow you to share your iPad in pass and play games, or you can gather up large groups and have up to six people interacting with the screen at once. Each of the modes include instructions before the game starts.
As you progress through the game you're able to unlock trophies and new Bopjects to challenge yourself with. All Bopjects include demos, so you should always know what the heck is going on. The game also Facebook integration and global leaderboards.
Bop It! for iPad is available in the App Store for $2.99.
