Fun:
It has nearly been a year since Rock band had finally made its debut for the video game market. While so many people have claimed it to be a knockoff of the Guitar Hero franchise, it has made its own as the next wave of music games. Sadly, though out of all the systems on the market, the only one that hasn't seen the light of the Rock Band day is the Nintendo Wii. It has highlighted on the other systems including the PS2, Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. But, with a new system comes a new challenge for die hard Rock Band fans. Is this new version going to do enough to make it better than it was for the PS3, and others. Here is the reason you can Rock out loud!! Rock Band for the Nintendo Wii, doesn't do enough to make it completely different from the PS3, or any of the other editions that are out right now. Still, the game remains as addictive as you culd imagine, if you haven't played it yet. The game features over 40 songs for your pleasure of jamming to from R.E.M. with Orange Crush, the Red Hot Chili Peppers mega-hit Dani California, the Bon Jovi standard Wanted Dead Or Alive, Kiss's Detroit Rock City, as well as surprising new guilty pleasures like O.K. Go's Here It Goes Again, which I still love the video with the treadmills. The gameplay also works beautifully as you can jam your way with others on the drums, guitar, or flexing you pipes and rocking to your favorite hits. The graphics look stunning, and make you believe you're really a Rock Supernova. Sadly though, there are a few disadvantages to the game. The first disadvantage is that if you've bought the guitars made for Guitar Hero, you can't use them here on Rock Band, just like the other versions. But what makes this game have the biggest problem is the lack of online addictions. Not only can you not compete against other wannabe Rock gods, but you also cannot download new tracks to jam your way to the hearts to millions unlike the Xbox 360 and PS3 editions. Instead, there will be seperate track discs that will be coming out for the Wii soon that you can buy from your local video game shop at around $29.99 instead. That unfortunately will dissapoint some die hard fans of the Rock Band madness. Despite a few flaws with Rock Band, it still is a great game to bring your friends over and try to conquer the music world with. If you haven't played it before for the PS3, Xbox 360, and your only next-gen system is the Wii, then it is still a pleaser for jamming to. While it doesn't have as as much rock hard fan have eagerly awaited, it still has a lot of promise for the Nintendo Wii.
