by Scott Ellison II @Hawk_SE

KickBeat is an experimental rhythm game featuring fully 3D characters and combat and high-energy music. The game is being demoed in the Zen Studios meeting room this week at GamesCom.

A new KickBeat gameplay video is available. This video demonstrates how KickBeat is played using the D-pad controls, and highlights how fully 3D models have replaced arrows and colored buttons as gameplay cues:

KickBeat features a hard-hitting soundtrack comprised of 18 licensed tracks, and today we are happy to reveal a partial track list:

• Pendulum – Self vs. Self
• Marilyn Manson – The Beautiful People
• Rob Zombie – Scum of the Earth
• Voicians – The Construct
• Shen Yi – War Dance
• Celldweller – I Can’t Wait
• Styles of Beyond – Nine Thou
• Southpaw Swagger – It’s Showtime
• Blue Stahli – Ultranumb

Additionally, KickBeat features a music analyzer tool that allows players to generate new KickBeat tracks with their existing music library!

KickBeat is expected to release Fall 2012, exclusively for PlayStation®Vita.
