Rock Band

Rock Band

When the original Guitar Hero was released in 2005, rhythm gaming was changed forever. Gamers who have never played an instrument before could become instant rock stars. However, the hit was limited to only the guitar. In 2007, that was all changed, and rhythm gaming was changed forever, once again with Rock Band.

Instruments

Harmonix took the rather simple idea of Guitar Hero a step farther. Instead of only being able to rock out on the guitar, you can now jam on any instrument in a basic rock band. Choose from Guitar, Bass, Drums, or Microphone, and make some music!

Guitar
If you are familiar with Guitar Hero, you will get the hang of guitar very quickly. This time around, you are rocking on Rock Band's version of a Fender Stratocaster! Awesome, right? In some eye's yes, in some, no. Personally, I am not a fan of the new guitar controller. The strum bar is nearly silent,...

THE GOOD:
A Gamer, most likely a musician, walked by an arcade. They saw another playing to the common DDR machine, going "What is the point of stepping in a form that a style like that doesn't even fit right?"

Thus, Guitar Hero and many acclaimed instrumental games were created. This would finally be the ideal game to achieve the closest musical experience. Bear in mind this doesn't make one the better musician in a career either.

One of the most attractive aspects is creating the actual musician to see in play. Not only is the guitar changeable, but the entire (well, maybe by colors and a few attires) character model can be changed, even a few tattoos can be added as well. Don't bother using innapropriate names for either the character or band. Microsoft will know, refusing to play live until this matter is resolved into a better name.

Retaining the same concept as Guitar Hero, the musician or band can play a number of available songs...
