Rock Band
Rating T
Score: 9.0
It’s time to take gaming to a whole new level! Rock Band is an example of a great game with an amazing four player experience. This game is available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Playstation 2.
At first glance, this game is nothing more than a Guitar Hero rip-off. Upon further examination, you’ll discover this game is much more than that. Unlike Guitar Hero, where you only play the guitar, this game lets you play the guitar, play the drums and even sing! Singing using the microphone may sound hard, but all it takes to do great is the ability to give your voice a higher or lower pitch while following the lyrics running at the bottom of the screen. The drums are the best part, because they’re a totally new experience.
This game has great music such as OK Go’s “Here it Goes Again” and Nirvana’s “Nevermind”. Downloadable songs are available too at a cost of $1 to $2 each. This is great, because there are only 45 songs to unlock. Career mode is very long, but because of the lack of songs, you will find yourself playing the same stuff over and over again.
Though this type of game has been done before, it’s never been done like this! A few small things force me to lower its score from perfect, but it’s still amazing. This game shouldn’t be overlooked: it is not a Guitar Hero rip-off!
