Lego Rock Band is a music video game and part of the Rock Band series developed by Harmonix Music Systems, but also incorporates elements from other Lego video games as developed by Traveller's Tales. The game will be distributed by MTV Games, Electronic Arts, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game is expected to be released during the holiday season of 2009 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii home consoles. A Nintendo DS version is also being developed in conjunction with Backbone Entertainment.
The game, as with other games in the Rock Band series, will allow up to four players to use instrument controllers to play lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals on a number of rock music songs. In addition, aspects of building with Lego bricks are incorporated into the game, allowing players to customize their avatars and other band assistances, and include additional Lego-themes gameplay modes. The gameplay and the game's soundtrack have been selected to create a "family-friendly" game.
Development
Industry rumors circulated in early 2009 of the game's existence[1] and appeared to be true when mention of the game was shown in a slide for Harmonix' Dan Teasdale's presentation at the 2009 Game Developers Conference that was ultimately removed.[2] The game was announced officially on April 21, 2009.[3] Despite skepticism for the viability of the game,[4][5] the game is stated to combine "two compelling properties" by Travelers Tales managing director Tom Stone, and has been called "a social game experience that crosses every generation and every genre of rock" by MTV Games senior vice president Bob Picunko.[6]
Gameplay
The music portions of the game will remain the same as the Rock Band series, though harder skill levels will be provided for "budding musicians".[7] Successfully completing songs will earn the players Lego bricks which they may use to build and customize their Lego-style avatars, staff, vehicles, and their "rock den".[3][7] There will also be Lego-themed challenges such as demolishing buildings by successfully playing songs.[7]
Existing Rock Band and other compatible music controllers will work with Lego Rock Band.[3]
Soundtrack
The game's soundtrack has been selected to be "suitable for older audiences".[3] The following songs have not been confirmed to be in the game.[3] The game will support downloadable content though the nature of this content has not been revealed.[7]
