Wanna be a rap superstar, and live large?

MTV Cribs gets its own mobile game

RealArcade has taken the wrappers off MTV Cribs: DJ Mansion, a new mobile game based on the popular TV show.

You play a hip-hop superstar, who has to perform around the world, then use your ill-gotten gains (as in 'totally ill') to pimp out your pad with maximum bling, while hiring bodyguards, maids, butlers and personal chefs. Oh, and private jets.

How do you perform? Well, that's where four mini-games come in: DJ Freestyle, MC Riddle, DJ Battle and MC Flow. They're all action-puzzle games that test your rhythm skills in traditional RealArcade style, making this a sort-of successor to its Gorillaz mobile title.

The game's just been announced in the US, where it's going on sale in November. There, it'll also have a connected feature enabling you to upload your crib to a website, so as to compare it with other players.

We'll let you know details of a European release, and whether the connected feature will be in it, as soon as we find out.
