I believe that harmonix will introduce several sane and incremental changes in the new Rock Band, and I have a general level of confidence that they mean to follow through with the "platform" concept for the game, finding ways to expand the content of the game continually beyond adding discs. On the other hand, I think that the in-game content creator being added to the new GH game may be a game-changer. Depending on what its users manage to eke out of the system and how Activision manages the sharing, you could see a potentially limitless free stream of new content being created in the future. <BR/><BR/>I think it'll be a moot point for people who already own a set of instruments that commit them to one game over the other, but I see this as a really important developmentIroquois Pliskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324582950813408440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-29496890116991550212008-07-07T23:50:00.000-04:002008-07-07T23:50:00.000-04:00Interesting commentaries.

I never really caught the Guitar Hero bug but have maintained a steady interest until Rock Band came along and greatly interested me with its diverse set of music.<BR/><BR/>While the latest Guitar Hero is looking to out innovate the competition (which is fantastic) I think that there are still limitations with the "rock music" label that may obstruct it from being top of the music genre.<BR/><BR/>Much like Daniel Purvis points out; considering that Rock Band is yet to hit the full PAL market (with an overpriced Xbox 360 set only available in Europe), I am imterested to see if Activision can swoop in on this opportunity. <BR/><BR/>Also it begs to be seen how Rock Band's full PAL release will affect the release of Rock Band 2. By the time the full release of Rock Band hits Australian shores, Rock Band 2 will shortly become available stateside.<BR/><BR/>Do we demand compensation? Hell yes we do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-4389446435032061982008-07-07T23:29:00.000-04:002008-07-07T23:29:00.000-04:00I don't even have a reaction to learning that you ...I don't even have a reaction to learning that you can't get Rock Band in Australia. That's obscene. <BR/><BR/>I think that sounds like a great review, similar to when I attempted to review Lego Indiana Jones without playing it (sadly, they just had another person review it instead).Mitch Krpatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987162934932391765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-78106480898550390192008-07-07T20:16:00.000-04:002008-07-07T20:16:00.000-04:00My wish?

That EA would simple RELEASE <I>ROCK BAND</I> IN MY COUNTRY.<BR/><BR/>And, EA have yet to even put forward a valid excuse as to why the title doesn't even feature on release lists.<BR/><BR/>In this regard, <I>Guitar Hero 4</I> is already looking like a dead-set winner, providing Activision see Australia worthy enough to receive the blessing of it's games.<BR/><BR/>PS. I have <I>Aerosmith</I> for review but I take it as a blessing that my guitar-troller is actually busted for some unspecified reason (it simply won't sink with the Xbox 360). I'm considering pulling a Maxim and reviewing the game without ever having played it.<BR/><BR/>"It's Guitar Hero, with mostly Aerosmith songs. Run DMC saves the day with their collaboration on Walk This Way, otherwise, see my <A HREF="http://gamingsa.com/?p=review_detail&gid=13" REL="nofollow">review of <I>Rock the 80s</I></A> for comparison, of course, <I>Aerosmith</I> features less pink and more spandex, which is just as bad."<BR/><BR/>Watcha think?Daniel Purvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678228002879207522noreply@blogger.com
