The game features support for the Xbox 360 Kinect and Playstation Eye cameras, allowing users to record video of their performances (limited to 30 seconds), store them locally, and upload them to the community for viewing by others with the game or on the official website. A Freestyle mode is also available, and gives players an instrumental beat to strut their stuff over. The game supports two microphones for Duets and Rap Battles. A Party mode is available to allow quickplay of unlocked songs (all but a few songs are unlocked from the start of the game), and playlists can be created and performed. In Career Mode, there are five stages to be played through, each increasing in difficulty and containing unique score, timing, or other challenges where new songs can be unlocked. Sections that require singing display pitch lines much like Rock Band or Lips, and the player is graded on their tonality as well as rhythm. A bouncing ball touches each syllable in rhythm, much like some karaoke machines or sing-along videos. The music video for each song (or, in a few cases where no video is available, a simple volume meter visualizer) appears in a box in the center of the screen while the lyrics are displayed below.

Gameplayĭef Jam Rapstar requires a microphone (bundled with the game) and a controller for navigation.
