About MC Lars: The Video Game

MC Lars helped to pioneer the genre of nerd rap in 2003 and has been touring the world with his laptop ever since, packing concert venues and writing raps about everything from Guitar Hero to Edgar Allan Poe.

In this beat-driven platformer, the record industry kidnaps MC Lars and tries to turn his indie music against him. To triumph, MC Lars must battle through 12 levels inspired by his music, navigating obstacles and fighting record industry goons all without losing the beat.

MC Lars: The Video Game features:
  • 12 unique levels that bring the music of MC Lars to life with retro visuals and rhythm-based level design.
  • Fast-paced platforming action that rewards players for sticking to the beat.
  • 3 unlockable MC Lars costumes.
  • A tongue-in-cheek story about indie music that all music fans can appreciate.

Old school feel. Simple two-button gameplay. Great soundtrack with catchy tunes, and lyrics. Strap in and help Lars take the fight to the record industry.

Muted the audio first. (Appreciate the ability to do that). Loaded West Coast classics instead as background. I don't care who this MC Lars is and i care not to learn either. Heard samples of lars 'music' and know what i like so this game better fly without the audio. So now what is left? a decent two-button action game with jump/attack button. But not much else. Pretty much stuff you find in a DIG shovel ware package. Buy or don't accordingly. 4.35€ for this as full price is mind boggling. even 1€ is asking a lot.

It's a fun, responsive rhythm game using MC Lars' music. The game does what it says on the tin. Game play is clear and intuitive. I really like tapping along the songs. I found it clunky at first, then I started attacking the baddies instead of trying to jump them. Once I was attacking the game clicked.

Great Music, great rhythm game, replayable for higher scores/new skins and achievements. AND A STEAL AT ONLY 5 DOLLARS!
Recommended Oct 16, 2017
Totally worth the $5. It's easy to play through, harder to get good scores on all the levels so it has some replay value. If you're a MC Lars fan it's a must have.
Recommended Apr 2, 2017
If you like MC Lars, give it a go. It's got some of his best tunes set to gameplay. If you don't know him, check out his music first, it's a better experience. The game functions like an endless runner, and the only things you can do are jump or attack. It doesn't match up with the music overly well, so as a rhythm-game-lover, that's very frustrating. If you consider it like a greatest hits music album, then $5.50 is a great deal, right? haha
