Synopsis

Become part of a hard-rocking musical group in Rock Band. This interactive musical experience delivers four games in one, and gives you the chance to master lead/bass guitar, drums, vocals or playing collectively as a whole. The music in Rock Band covers all genres of rock and features master recordings from legendary artists, including Nirvana, The Who, Weezer, David Bowie and more. Don't worry if you have no musical experience — the Tutorial mode will turn even a beginner into a rock-and-roll superstar.

The helpful Practice mode lets you break down any part of any song at your preferred speed, while Quickplay mode makes it easy to jump into any unlocked song and start jamming. Enjoy single-player career gameplay in Solo Tour mode or form the ultimate band either locally or online in World Tour mode. Create your own rock avatar, mold a unique rocker using the character creator feature and start a journey for stardom that takes you from small-town bars all the way to world-famous arenas. Accessories, including a drum controller (not included), a guitar controller modeled after the legendary Fender Stratocaster (not included) and a handheld microphone with a karaoke-style interface (not included), give you the tools to conquer the musical world.
