Kanye West-Inspired “Kanye Quest 3030” Video Game Now Available

    According to Kotaku.com, a video game version of Windy City rapper Kanye West will serve as the protagonist in a newly-released, Japanese role-playing game (RPG) titled “Kanye Quest 3030.” Created by Phenix, “Kanye Quest 3030” is described as “a hip-hop-themed science-fiction 2D roleplaying game starring Kanye West” that’s set in the year 3030.

    The game, which is not actually endorsed by West, also features artists such as Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Lil B, Tupac, and the Notorious B.I.G. But unlike West, the other rappers featured in the game are clones who are controlled by a “god-like dictator.”

    “Kanye Quest 3030” is far from the first video game to incorporate a rapper or other musician. Beginning in 2003, Def Jam began to release a series of Hip Hop-heavy video games. The first, titled “Def Jam Vendetta” was a wrestling video game, which featured DMX, Joe Budden, Ludacris, and a handful of other artists.

    Hip Hop has also been prominent in the soundtracks of various video games including “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” and “NBA 2K13.”

    The trailer for “Kanye Quest 3030” can be found below.

    7. P.S. do not say anything meaningful and/or critical relative To Yeezlos/Gaykanye, DX will not allow these comments.

    8. This looks incredibly stupid. It’s like the original Nintendo.

    9. They should’ve made it like Tales of Phantasia, where the action is real time, but in a 2D space.

    10. So I downloaded the game, however, I needed to download some other file before I could play.

      The game is kind of like the Pokemon series. You basically go around making yourself gain levels or exp battling other emcees that pop out of nowhere. If you played Pokemon as a kid you will get the basic style of this game. I played for 5 minutes, maybe Ill get back to it, MAYBE.
