When I heard Lego Rock Band was coming out, I liked the idea of all the songs, but I have to admit the game looked like a cheap cash-in, similar to the way Guitar Hero has about 200 iterations a year (and the newly released Band Hero is essentially Guitar Hero 5 with new tracks and Taylor Swift). So, my idea was to just get it to export the songs, then sell it back or trade it with a friend. However, once I decided to give the game a try (I had it, after all), and I'm downright hooked. Rather then focus on what's the same (because this is, at its core, Rock Band 2 with a Lego skin over it), let me point out some differences I think make it better. - You have a "Rock Pad" which is like your house, and you can trick it out with tones of goofy gear. I'll admit I was stoked when I unlocked the pink train riding toy. It's a small addition, sure but way...Read more 27 of 30 people found the following review helpful: By generaltso (Vermont) - See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Lego Rock Band (Video Game) This game is great if you have young kids that don't quite have the coordination to play Rock Band. The Super Easy mode that they've added is perfect for kids because they can play the guitar by just using the strum bar or play the drums by hitting any color pad they want. You can also turn on "auto drum pedal" so that you don't have to worry about hitting the foot pedal with the drums if you don't want to. If you don't have kids, you probably won't get much out of this game. But if you have kids that struggle with the regular Rock Band, this game is great! 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful: By Cloud "..." (Canada) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Lego Rock Band (Video Game) When developer Traveller's Tales make the Lego games, one common criticism is that there's not much that changes from previous games other than the license. How apt it feels then to have them do a Lego version of Rock Band and surprisingly it doesn't suck. But then again it's not perfect by any stretch and there's some annoyances that really grind my gears so to speak but then I'm an adult and when you mention the term "Lego Rock Band", it feels like you're 4 talking about quantum physics, it just doesn't look right, does it? Keep in mind there's nothing wrong with the game and I actually smiled quite a few times playing the game but then as far as gameplay is concerned I noticed some step downs from Rock Band 2 and even the Beatles game that I wish weren't part of this game. Families won't mind but if you're looking for more songs to play than you're kind of out of luck.
This is kind of a simple review since it's not really that story extensive or there's much to talk...Read more |
