I normally don’t open with an “about section” screen shot, but seriously, you need to read what this is, because it is just plain crazy-awesomeness. Guess Tunes is another solid App delivered to us by Maftusoft, the same author that brought us Just-Me that I featured in my last review. First off, I recommend playing this game on Wi-Fi, not just because of the amount of data it uses, but also, over slower cell connections, the buffering can take a few extra minutes.
Now, the premise of the game is very simple, it’s name that tune. Guess Tunes uses Nokia Mix Radio to power the audio samples. I assume that they are the 30 second clips that you can preview in Mix Radio, which gets around all sorts of crazy licensing deals and such, which just make the programmer of this even more brilliant. The selection of genre’s, songs and styles is amazingly deep. The game modes are single player or two player, in either enter artist and song or multiple choice selections.
Guess Tunes is simple to play as you hear the streaming song, you simply press the talk button (that’s the big green one) or type your answer in the box. If you are right, you get 5 points each for artist or song title. You can rack up points pretty quickly, but spelling seems to count. If you use the ‘voice’ translation, make sure it gets it right for you.
Two player mode works in an additional box below the first in order to allow two separate people to buzz in. It works the same way though after you buzz in, you can use voice or text to enter your guesses.
Multiple choice mode is also available. This gives you three choices that the song could be and you can simply press the 1, 2 or 3 number to guess, or enter the guess via the voice or text input as well. This mode also works great for team playing as well.
Guess Tunes is a great game, though it appears in the “App List” not in the games section after install. It is a clean game with install size of 9.5 MB. With the only speed bump with this game being that I recommend Wi-Fi usage to keep data levels lower and keep buffering to a minimum, I have no problem telling everyone to grab a friend and download this today. You will have a great time playing Guess Tunes both alone and with your friends. You can even break a group into teams and play that way. Guess Tunes makes the perfect addition to any party.
Swing into the Windows Phone Store today and grab it while it is still free: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/guess-tunes/f55b9a41-af16-4133-be84-0abfc5189714
