Rock Band Delivers Childhood Fantasies in Video Game Form

Guitar Hero has long been the king of the music-based video game mountain, delivering insanely fun gameplay and tracklists full of popular, recognizable music. Well, there’s a new game coming, and it’s aiming to knock Guitar Hero off its pedestal. It’s called Rock Band, and it takes pretending to be a rock star to a whole new level.

Rather than just arming you with a guitar and having you play along with a computer band, Rock Band lets you become the entire band. Yes, coming with a microphone, guitar, and drumset, it lets you and a couple of friends play together as a band, working together to get to the top of the music scene. It looks to be the ultimate party game, adding many layers onto the successful Guitar Hero formula. Who can argue with the fun of a night with your buddies jamming to all of your favorite hits can deliver? And without even needing to know how to play an instrument! Isn’t technology great?
