Beat Sports

About

Beat Sports brings you sports played by aliens from a distant musical galaxy. These creatures play tennis, volleyball, and golf using rhythm as the main mechanic. You control your character with the Siri Remote while friends join in via the free Beat Sports app on their phones. The game features four total players max who must match beats to score points or return shots. Every movement syncs to a beat so you need to listen closely to stay in time. The soundtrack stands out with tracks from Harmonix and Masaya Matsuura, known for PaRappa the Rapper. Visuals are simple yet colorful as characters bounce to the music during matches. Since this title runs on Apple TV, it works best when everyone gathers around the screen. Players often comment that the controls feel tight once they get used to the rhythm-based mechanics. It is a fun way to pass time with family without needing expensive hardware beyond an iPhone or iPod Touch for extra controllers.
