Rock Band: New Updates

Shadow net583x s | July 06, 2007 | Previews | Playstation 3 Wii 
New information on the game Rock Band. It is shaping up to a pretty good game, with vocals, guitars, and drums, all packed into one expensive game. The price, however, shouldnt discourage you from buying it, though.

It will have music from many great bands, so keep your ears listening to see what all bands are going to make it in.
Lead Guitar
Rock blistering solos to rock’s best tunes! Challenge your rock star status on the screen while strumming a slick guitar that’s modeled after the legendary Fender® Stratocaster®.

Lead Vocals'
The ultimate kick for Freddie Mercury wannabe’s. Using a Karaoke-style interface, players’ vocal performance is rated as they sing into the microphone.

Drums
Capture the power, physicality, and sheer fun of real drumming with Rock Band’s custom drum kit controller featuring four pads, kick pedal, and real drum sticks.

    Is it just me, or do the drum parts seem like they are going to be more complex than anything else. I mean, every part is going to be challenging, but with the pedal with the drums idk maybe it could get confusing.

    There's some features in the quotation there that is new news to my ears, like being able to save your friends from dropping out of a performance if you do your part really well and do your signature moves. Andthe singer being able to rev up the crowd! All sounds good to me.

      It basically is, but now you can use all the instruments in a band, like the drums and mic and stuff. Plus, there are more songs.

    I'm waiting for Konami to blindside Rock Band with GuitarFreaks/DrumMania. :3

      It's not gonna happen unfortunately. The series tried to come over here long ago, but some stupid legal stuff happened, and it's Japan only now. I'm sure this will be the next best thing though.

        Say that to the recently-filed trademarks.

        Oh, by the way, DrumScape can go to hell. It's not even a game.

    I am looking forward to watching this over playing it, not my type of game. End of there... xD

    It has a good concept and with the labels backing them out I just hope they can really back this out for when it is released =D

    So you can save someone in your band from failing huh? Pretty cool. I wonder how robust the customization options will be though for your avatar...
