Beaterator for PSP is in stores now across the world – and the first roundup of reviews is here:

1Up.com says “it's hard to see Beaterator as anything but a terrific introduction to the world of music production...this is probably the best (and cheapest) way to produce your own music on the go.”

Vinyl Meltdown says "I definitely recommend this game for all music fans, aspiring producers and those in between out there."

BPM Magazine says Beaterator is "ridiculously robust.  Hours literally fly by as you delve deeper into the system of beats, loops and effects."

GamesRadar compares Beaterator's feature set with PC software many times its price and says, "You should know that Beaterator is pretty darn cool…Consider it a compliment to Beaterator’s quality that we think it’s capable of hanging out with the big kids. We wholeheartedly support Beaterator’s concept and applaud its execution.” 

UGO says Beaterator is a must buy for "people that enjoy music for the sum of its parts...people that want to explore and create music without the need for expensive machines and studio time."

In the UK, the guys on BBC's Rampage on Radio 1Xtra lay down a stepping drum'n'bass track and conclude, "All in all I would have to say this is fantastic, one of the best bits of kit I have ever reviewed. Sick sick sick!!!!"

PAL Gaming Network in Australia says Beaterator is "Intuitive, quick and incredibly fluid when it comes down to it, and makes life a whole lot easier for the people who don’t quite have the time or money to learn the inner workings of more advanced studio based programs...We really can’t stress the excellence for value when it comes to this handy little title, and we urge all musical lovers and wannabes to pick Beaterator up, as it’s an outstanding musical product bound to satisfy your needs."

Stay tuned for more reviews roundups as they happen.
