Rock Band 3 Review

If the Rock Band series really wanted to capture the rock-and-roll lifestyle, it would need to have a lot more sex, drugs, and undercover exposés on cable television. Instead, what we get are four quirky youths touring cross country to become the most eclectic cover band the world has ever seen. It's a taste, but it's hardly the full package. Rock Band 3 on the Nintendo DS falls into similar straights. It provides an enticing taste of what's available on other platforms, but comes up short by comparison. And with only 25 songs, you spend more time with Smash Mouth than anyone should. Rock Band 3 uses a similar approach to other games in the series, but instead of just tapping along to the notes on one highway, you have to juggle four different instruments at once. If you land several notes in succession, you clear a phrase. Now, the computer will play that track for you temporally, allowing you to turn your attention to the next needy instrument. It's a fun and simple formula--one that developer Harmonix has fine tuned in the past with Rock Band Unplugged and its distant predecessor Frequency--that faithfully approximates the experience found on consoles (minus the expensive peripherals).

Rock Band 3

When it comes down to dollars and cents, Rock Band 3 is an expensive proposition. Keyboard peripherals don't grow on trees you know and they sure aren't going to be given away for free. When all is said and done, Rock Band 3 is probably cheapest to play on the Nintendo DS. Without all the bells and whistles of a console Rock Band game, Rock Band 3 for DS has to bank on one factor pretty heavily: portability. Frankly, rocking out while you're on the bus can get a little embarrassing. Headphones are a must with this version of Harmonix's baby. Rocking out at home in the bathroom is okay, but don't strain yourself in there. Players can choose from a lot of different ways to play, whether they want to dedicate themselves to one instrument or perform every part in the band. Those intimately familiar with Amplitude will recognize the normal mode of play, while more hardcore rhythm game aficionados will want to embark on expert mode. Normal mode presents the player with four tracks: bass, drums, vocals, and guitar/keyboard. You'll start out on the first track when playing a song. Completing a phrase on a track clears it for a time, so that you can move on to the next track.

Rock Band 3 DS Review

Once in a while, I'll get asked if there's a review score I wish I could change. While I back everything I write, there is one rating that I wish I could go back and change -- Rock Band Unplugged. A PSP game released in 2009, Rock Band Unplugged boiled down the four-instrument formula to the PSP's face buttons. It rocked, but I got hung up on a few minor issues and gave the game an 8.2. For the next six months, I played Rock Band Unplugged on the way to work each day and marveled at how much fun it was. Since then, I've been kicking myself that I didn't give the game an 8.5 and an Editor's Choice Award. It's haunted me. Well, while I cried over three-tenths of a point, Backbone took its formula to the DS for LEGO Rock Band and now Rock Band 3. If you're familiar with either of the previous handheld music games, the gameplay formula here isn't breaking the mold. You have four music highways that represent the four instruments in your band. Notes fall on one of these highways with a "phrase box" around a certain section. As the notes cross an onscreen line, you tap one of four buttons to make the music play. Nail the phrase, and you clear the highway for a bit and get to jump to the next instrument that has notes on its highway.

Rock Band 3 (Preview)

You already know that Rock Band 3 is adding a keyboard along with a slate of other major and minor upgrades. But as someone who's downloaded hundreds of dollars worth of add-on songs to Rock Band 2 and who doesn't like to play on any mode but Expert, I just want to know how the even more difficult Pro mode plays. From what I saw today at an E3 hands-on demo, the daunting task of laying even more hours into the plastic-peripheral series is something I'm increasingly eager to start up all over again. Normally, when you toss a new peripheral on top of an existing rhythm genre, you'd expect to need some time to adjust to a steep learning curve. Especially when that peripheral has two octaves worth of keys. But though I'm by no stretch of the imagination a keyboard player (I can play "Chopsticks"), at the suggestion of the Harmonix staff, I jumped right into keyboard on Hard...and it was pretty easy. On normal keyboard mode you only play one octave, and if you already know the basics of the game, it's easy to transfer the guitar's button combinations to the keyboard. On normal, you don't have to move your hands across the keys on the peripheral, so in a way it's easier than expert guitar (though you have to learn a few new chords) since you can use all five fingers on your hand.
