LEGO Rock Band officially announced

Advertisement (Why?)

LEGO Rockband was rumoured to be coming for a good couple of months, and recently at GDC it was let slip via a leaked document that confirmed the game was to be talked about. But now Harmonix has officially revealed that the game is indeed real and will be coming this year.

The game is being created in partnership between Harmonix, who developed the earlier Guitar Hero games and now the Rock band series, and Travellers Tales part of the TT Games group, the creators behind the LEGO Indiana Jones, LEGO Batman and the popular LEGO Star Wars games.

LEGO Rock Band is being developed and aimed at a more casual family friendly audience, much like the previous games you will be able to create your character, now made of LEGO, and take him on a rocking adventure through the world of music with your family and friends.

Song list for the game will include such titles as Blur: "Song 2", Carl Douglas: "Kung Fu Fighting", Good Charlotte: "Boys and Girls", Pink: "So What" and one of my favourites that is always on a good play list, Europe: "The Final Countdown"

Though no other songs for family and kid friendly title have been revealed so far.

The game will be compatible with existing Rock Band instruments and other music controllers and will be arriving on the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS and will be coming Holiday 2009.

So... Lego blocks don't sell anymore these days? In lack of profit? Make Video Games on all subjects!

Why Gawd, Why!!!!! This is going to suck. I cant believe the makers of Rock Band are going to soil their name with this lego crap. All the lego games have sucked and so will this.

Actually, all of the Lego games that TT have worked on have been hugely fun to play, and very well written. I think you're totally missing their intended market though. They're not aimed at hardcore gamers in their teens or older, they're aimed at kids from about 3+.

What's the matter? You don't think young kids should have fun too?

My kids totally love the Lego games, and this is yet another one I'll probably be getting for them.

I am not missing the point, kids that age shouldnt be playing video games anyways. They can barely comprehend right and wrong at that age.
