LEGO® Rock Band® - Rumors and Facts

[SonicRocker15X]

Yay! Another song under "Other"!

[elitemastersam]

I thought "A-Punk" was indie...

[awest505]

I thought "A-Punk" was indie...
I would think so. Definitely more indie than regular rock.

[sonicnerd23]

Why are there no videos of Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic?

[monkeyfish]

Lotta videos are missing right now, but that's not saying much since the game isn't even officially released yet. Youtube doesn't want to work for me at the moment, anyways...

On a completely offtopic note: what happened to Flawless? The lovable little scamp was banned for something...?

[wrldindstries302]

Europe was metal, why is that funny?

They might be considered glam/hair metal, but glam metal's relation to actual metal is similar to nu-metal's.

Their sound bears no relation to metal, and if their song is filed under metal you might as well put Bon Jovi songs in there too. In fact, I'd say both of them would be best suited in pop-rock, because that's what they are.

EDIT: They put A-Punk under just "rock", too? hahaha oh wow.

You make sacrifices when your game is missing a hair metal genre. There's worse genre issues, move on.

[General Lein979]

Yay! Another song under "Other"!I know I'm so happy my first other song. :D

[GNFfhqwhgads]

I know I'm so happy my first other song. :D
Wow, you didn't buy Spongebob? Lame.

[Mister_Derp]

Definitely not. That chart is terrible.
I can't seem to find any decent videos of it, but what's wrong with it? I'm looking forward to that song :(

And neither of the MC Frontalot songs?

[T-Hybrid]

What's wrong with the chart? Looks like it lines up with what's being played.

[Mister_Derp]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJmmVK6aq-k
Ah, so it's like the opposite of They Say. Lame.

[Mister_Derp]

What's wrong with the chart? Looks like it lines up with what's being played.
GH5 charts the rhythm part instead of that same note over and over. Personal preference I guess.

[General Lein979]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJmmVK6aq-kI totally forgot Blur was in this game. Wow.

As for the people questioning my no other purchases there is always something that I wanted more with my points.

[GNFfhqwhgads]

Wait, does it push you to bass?

[MostSpartan14]

GH5 charts the rhythm part instead of that same note over and over. Personal preference I guess.

I always thought the part they charted in GH was the bass.

[wrldindstries302]

What's wrong with the chart? Looks like it lines up with what's being played.

Personally I've never even noticed that repeated single note being played throughout the chorus (though I don't dispute it's there), and I think it was a poor decision to chart it rather than the more prominent and more interesting other guitar.


I always thought the part they charted in GH was the bass.

It sounds to me like guitar and bass playing the same thing.

[kingtonyx]

uh, does anyone know why this song is listed as being on LEGO?

"Just For Tonight" (http://www.rockband.com/songs/justfortonight) - One Night Only

I agree 100% with that.

[Risu-X]

Is there a list of the 22 RB1 songs that are in LRB? I've looked and found nothing.

[DragoonXD]

"Just For Tonight" (http://www.rockband.com/songs/justfortonight) - One Night Only

What? How has this not been noticed before?

[BruceDickinson]

What? How has this not been noticed before?

Yeah, what the hell is that?

[GNFfhqwhgads]

What? How has this not been noticed before?
Because the LEGO tierings were brought to our attention maybe an hour ago and no one went through to check all the songs?

[kiggidykev]

Gasp! kingtonyx found a hidden gem!

[DragoonXD]

Because the LEGO tierings were brought to our attention maybe an hour ago and no one went through to check all the songs?

But I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the video with all the tier listings. So I'm wondering why it's on the website, if it isn't in the game. Or is it?

[Mister_Derp]

I always thought the part they charted in GH was the bass.
Wow, after listening more closely, that is the bass. You learn something new every day.

[Mister_Derp]

But I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the video with all the tier listings. So I'm wondering why it's on the website, if it isn't in the game. Or is it?
Future DLC possibly?

[DragoonXD]

Now I want this song to actually be in Rock Band at some point, for the reason pointed out in the comments section of the video (the 2:46 mark sounds like music from Pokemon Stadium and other Pokemon games). Being a huge Pokemon junkie and all.

[wrldindstries302]

Wow, after listening more closely, that is the bass. You learn something new every day.

I don't think it's only bass. If you look at live recordings (and I know bands often play things differently live so it's not definitive proof) the guitar and bass both play that part, and they omit the single note that's charted in L:RB

Oshioshioshioshi, it is! That's awesome.

[T-Hybrid]

It could very well be an accident. A file from next week's DLC got updated with the wrong date. Heck, it could be a song from RBN that got put in the wrong category too.

If this song was in game, it would've been found by now. But the game has always been billed as "45 songs", which to me means no hidden tracks. When there's a hidden track, it's usually included in the final song count but simply left out in track listings (ex: "The End")

[snwns26]

"Just For Tonight" (http://www.rockband.com/songs/justfortonight) - One Night Only

I knew that song title didn't look familiar when I was browsing through the new stuff added, I just thought "wow maybe Lego does have a lot of songs I don't know".

[ghostofjarjar]

I'm just waiting to see when the export site will go live if at all this week. Can't believe the extremely small hype/press on this game.

[Rukapotimus]

Is there a list of the 22 RB1 songs that are in LRB? I've looked and found nothing.

Lego Star Wars received no press either, its a cult classic.

So: No "Are You Gonna Be My Girl," "Electric Version," "Here It Goes Again," "Learn to Fly," "Orange Crush," and "When You Were Young?"

What kind of offensive material did I miss in those songs?

[ghostofjarjar]

So: No "Are You Gonna Be My Girl," "Electric Version," "Here It Goes Again," "Learn to Fly," "Orange Crush," and "When You Were Young?"

What kind of offensive material did I miss in those songs?
Well I could see, you home with me, but you were with another man, yea!

Electric Version performed by The New Pornographers

I think Orange Crush is about Agent Orange from Vietnam.

Not so sure on the others.

[Soratar]

So: No "Are You Gonna Be My Girl," "Electric Version," "Here It Goes Again," "Learn to Fly," "Orange Crush," and "When You Were Young?"

What kind of offensive material did I miss in those songs?

Here It Goes Again didn't make it? Yet Nightmare did? Thats odd.

[Skode]

Here It Goes Again didn't make it? Yet Nightmare did? Thats odd.

There may have been certain small print with the relicensing of these songs initially for the export onto RB2... it may not be as simple as the songs were "not" deemed family friendly :confused:

[ZosoBaron]

"When You Were Young?"

"He looks nothing like Jesus/But he talks like a gentleman."

[LoopyChew]

"He looks nothing like Jesus/But he talks like a gentleman."

Countered: "Loves Jesus and America too" -- Free Fallin', LRB disc.

[ZosoBaron]

Countered: "Loves Jesus and America too" -- Free Fallin', LRB disc.

Maybe because the Tom Petty line isn't used more than once. The Killers line is said during every chorus. There was something similar for the usage of "damn" between El Scorcho and a Fall Out Boy song.

[prhs2057]

Here It Goes Again didn't make it? Yet Nightmare did? Thats odd.

It could be ten, but then again, I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four.
Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me with my jaw on the floor.

But here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy, something inching past the edge of reserve.
Now through the lines of the cheap venetian blinds your car is pulling off of the curb.

Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me, yeah, you leave me.

Suggestive one-night stand much?

[cherokeesam]

The OK Go song also features Jesus as a cuss word (but Jesus, when it rains, how it pours);

Orange Crush has adult lyrics (high on the booze in a tent paved with blood; all this here country, hell ANY country);

New PORNOGRAPHERS (nuff said);

"When You Were Young" --- dunno....could be objections to religious imagery (he doesn't look a thing like Jesus; the devil's water ain't so sweet); or it could just be simply a non sequitur (8-year olds singing about when they were young....lawlz)

"Learn to Fly" -- probably "I need a devil to help me get things right"

[Sayburr]

Hey Sayburr, have you not seen the posted tiers yet?
No, and I flipped through the thread and didn't find them... can you repost so I don't have to hunt through 1,000s of posts to find them, please.

Countered: "Loves Jesus and America too" -- Free Fallin', LRB disc.
This is why the conversation is pointless. There could be any number of things going on.

Songs may not be finished getting approved, certain songs may have hit licensing issues. Who knows.

But there's no clear-cut "No-no" when it comes to what is keeping songs out. It's not simply "One talks about violence or mentions Jesus", it's the context wrapped around the song...taken into consideration with the ENTIRE set of lyrics.

[Deezul_AwT]

One of the Naked Brothers tracks, "Body I Occupy" isn't on there. The only line that I can think might be objectionable is "It's very sinister, This land of Mine"

[T-Hybrid]

That song is on there. Casto21 scraped the list again last night. Let me go get it.

If you ask me, several on-disc songs contain lyrics/themes that some seemingly harmless DLC was possibly cut for. We just have no idea what's going on, really.

[Spidey987]

Just checked the Lego Rock Band page at Xbox.com and all of this week's DLC has passed the filter.

[HazyCloud]

Many thanks!

Those tiers are for LEGO only. If you export them the tiers change to the RB2 format. You can check them out on the http://www.rockband.com/music page.


EDIT* Here's the link to "You Give Love a Bad Name" link (http://www.rockband.com/songs/yougiveloveabadname)

Notice how the tiering is different.

[Mushroom]

Hopefully this will change, but I'm a little disheartened that only one Offspring song was deemed family friendly, and none of the Green Day songs were either.

Apparently the 2 kings of pop punk aren't pop enough.

[Deezul_AwT]

That song is on there. Casto21 scraped the list again last night. Let me go get it.

Edit: 351 total songs as of today. That's not including any Country/Metal track pack exclusives or RB1 export tracks.


Body I Occupy appeared between the time I posted and when you did. It's now at 342 songs, at least for me.

[C-Weiner]

Video thread updated

[16BitAlex]

Looking at the tiers, Lego Rock Band lowers the thresholds pretty silly. Rio gets labeled as Impossible tier Guitar and Drums. At least My Generation is no longer undertiered on Bass.

Sadly I won't buy this because it's a stand-alone isolated game for Wii.

[Rhystic_1]

Dave Grohl as LEGO character.


jk :)

[T-Hybrid]

According to the XBLM, all 8 songs this week work with LEGO.

[Sayburr]

Sadly I won't buy this because it's a stand-alone isolated game for Wii.

Yeah, that is unfortunate and the only reason I have not bought The Beatles. It’s too bad the group who is converting the game to the Wii can’t figure out how to get the songs onto the card…

[16BitAlex]

Yeah, that is unfortunate and the only reason I have not bought The Beatles. It’s too bad the group who is converting the game to the Wii can’t figure out how to get the songs onto the card…
See, I'd rather the game have been delayed than have same-day release without DLC support.

[cherokeesam]

Looks like "tool" isn't a dirty word, after all....;)

(anybody remember the minor ruckus over whether or not "tool" would be censored in "So What?" The only censored word is "Jessica Simp -- ****" of course)

[HazyCloud]

The export site is now up.

Looks like "tool" isn't a dirty word, after all....;)

(anybody remember the minor ruckus over whether or not "tool" would be censored in "So What?" The only censored word is "Jessica Simp -- ****" of course)

No matter. If the PS3 has any way at all to delete exported songs, this one is out of there no matter how much work it might take.

Isn't it great when you go to the retailer and they have all these used GH games and RB track packs? You know, the ones that the people export and then return to the store immediately?

I can't wait until retailers get tired of that.

We Will Rock You" is a classic Queen track. But the bass line and drums are literally the same three notes repeated and the guitar doesn't even come in until the last 30 seconds.



They chart the thumping to guitar.

IGN is biased about as badly as a site can be. They have a "music" section for rhythm games but only Guitar Hero products are featured. Thus, you can add about one point to that to get a fair review and subtrack about 0.5 from Band Hero to get a fair score...

I think it's a fair review. This game is very flawed. With no online, or leaderboards, and only 45 songs, it's not a great value compared to Band Hero.

Keep in mind IGN also gave Guitar Hero Van Halen a 4.9.

They said that Band Hero had great animations. Since this is the same engine as GH5, I have to disagree, as GH5 has rather Uncanny Valley-esque animations.

you know what else would make it easy to read? not quoting the entire friggin' setlist and ratings :P

[bmaninc]

There's really not that much value to L:RB. You're paying $50 for a game with 45 songs on disc. Plus, its obviously targeted to the people that already own Rock Band 2 since its a disc only product. You need to already own the peripherals. Therefore, the DLC importing into this game doesn't add much value.

[T-Hybrid]

There's really not that much value to L:RB.
There's actually a lot of value.

45 new songs, support for a large cross-section of DLC, and new customization features making use of the LEGO franchise.

It's unfortunate that people want to try and write this off as some kind of Track Pack just to justify their attempts to steal an export code.

No, there really isn't.

-it has no online features
-you can't play all your dlc in it
-only 45 songs
-no challenges
-it's literally a skin swap of RB2
-doesn't include features added in Beatles: RB (such as pause countdown)
-certain songs can't be played in playlists with others (songs by featured artists)

by contrast, Band Hero includes everything new in GH5, is fully featured and has 20 more songs.

[MostSpartan14]

Well if you think of it in terms of DLC, you're getting 45 songs ($90 worth of DLC) for only $50 (or $60 if you export)

[Soratar]

I'll add to this.

$60 in Canada instead of $50. Export is another $10 and I'm already supposed to pay full price for the game?

The DLC import does not provide much value. Its marketed towards people and families who already own RB2, since you need another set of peripherals to play this game (disc only release). They would have already been playing this DLC.


@MostSpartan15: That argument is flawed when you think of the fact that I only want 10-15 songs off this game to play. So, I'm supposed to pay $70 for 15 songs?

[MostSpartan14]

@MostSpartan15: That argument is flawed when you think of the fact that I only want 10-15 songs off this game to play. So, I'm supposed to pay $70 for 15 songs?

I wasn't really trying to argue anything. I was just saying when you think of the value in terms of songs, it's a very good value. Of course if you don't want all the songs it isn't a good value, but that could be said about any music game.
If you look at the value in terms of features, I'd agree with you that it isn't a good value compared to RB2.

[bmaninc]

Just because its called an argument doesn't mean we're really arguing. Just discussion.

I'd also say that Rock Band 2's setlist catered more towards an older crowd, which plays into it.

[halfaworldaway]

"Literally a skin swap of RB2"....yeah, because we all have skeletons, Frankensteins, cows and penguins as characters in RB2. And, of course, we can build vehicles in RB2. And, of course, we all love the pirate ship and haunted house venues prominently featured in RB2. And the Rock Den. And hiring Roadies and Entourage members. And Super-Easy mode (including Autokicking drums) for the kiddies. And challenges featuring ghostbusting, giant dinosaurs and octopi, and building demolition.

Yeah, all of that stuff is in RB2. :cool:

Here's a dollar, dude ($)....go buy a clue.

Okay, I've only played a few songs, but I am already LOVING the band customization options. Once I've got some studs together I'm going to customize the crap outta this band. It's pretty awesome.

I REALLY hope HMX can work out an agreement to let us link to RB.com so we can take pics of all the band members and crew!

Quite simple: the game is for kids. Online play is full of jerks who think they're "special" when they drop f-bombs like they're going out of style. Ergo, no parent wants their kids to go online to play with such inbreds.

[taylorlee]

And all the "features" wrldindustries brags about for Band Hero *aren't* aesthetic....? <raising Spock eyebrow> Fascinating.

I agree that Band Hero is more or less a skin-swap of GH5, but considering that GH5 has more features than RB2 AND Lego: Rock Band, it begs the question why almost nothing was done to implement more new features so long between the two Rock Band releases.

[cherokeesam]

Okay, I've only played a few songs, but I am already LOVING the band customization options. Once I've got some studs together I'm going to customize the crap outta this band. It's pretty awesome.

I REALLY hope HMX can work out an agreement to let us link to RB.com so we can take pics of all the band members and crew!


I know! I friggin' squealed with delight. Lot of love in this game!

How robust is the character creator?
Do they have at least some of the same hairstyles & costumes from regular RB2 Rock Store....? In other words: what's the likelihood of re-creating your RB2 band in LEGO?

I agree; it's really cool how you can customize every aspect of the band, from the hangout area to your staff (including things like interns and your manager)! And studs aren't even that hard to come by.

EDIT: @Cherokeesam: VERY likely. I recreated my entire RB2 band nearly to a T in almost no time at all. The only thing is that at first you won't have any yellow faces to match the default yellow skin on the clothing of the character.

So as soon as I buy it, I can start work on putting together my own Fantasy All-Star LEGO Rock Band.....(LEGO Hendrix, LEGO Who, LEGO Beatles......)

[wrldindstries302]

"Literally a skin swap of RB2"....yeah, because we all have skeletons, Frankensteins, cows and penguins as characters in RB2. And, of course, we can build vehicles in RB2. And, of course, we all love the pirate ship and haunted house venues prominently featured in RB2. And the Rock Den. And hiring Roadies and Entourage members. And Super-Easy mode (including Autokicking drums) for the kiddies. And challenges featuring ghostbusting, giant dinosaurs and octopi, and building demolition.

Yeah, all of that stuff is in RB2. :cool:

Here's a dollar, dude ($)....go buy a clue.

good job (kind of) addressing only two of my points.

The character stuff is aesthetic, i.e. a "skin swap". Super Easy and auto-kick are useless for most, especially because there's already a no-fail option.

Just because random online play is full of nincompoops, it doesn't mean that there needs to be no online play whatsoever. What about only allowing friends? And there's no leaderboards, which is another online feature that adds replay value.


There's no getting around that this game is a step back from both RB2 and TB:RB (especially TB:RB), feature-wise. The only thing it really has "more" of is clothes and backgrounds. Like I said, Band Hero has all the features of GH:5, and 20 more songs. LRB isn't a bad game, but it doesn't do much to establish itself as much more than a track pack.

Any screenshots of Lego Spinal Tap around yet?

[captainsamus]

Okay, call me dense, but I know in RB2 I created my entire band, and could play with a completely custom band by myself. It seems here that I'm given random RB minifigs to fill out the instruments that aren't turned on. How do I go about choosing the characters for band members that aren't human.

Basically, I'm asking how do I change the CPU characters in my band from the default random ones?

[SonicRocker15X]

^ In the Rock Shop, press yellow (or y for them vocalists).

It all depends on what clothes your characters were using (if they're wearing something not worn by one of the session musicians you're out of lucky mostly) and if they didn't use makeup or tattoos. Then you should be fine.

[TheOzone]

Yes or No: Does the Stage Kit work with the game?

[dxbrbnk]

I bought the game at gamestop today. It's ok but I'm thinking about returning it. They have a 7 day full refund policy for new opened items.

If I don't change my mind by Friday, it's going back. (I'm keeping the export code though).

If there were a demo for it, I would never have bought it.

sorry for all the negative comments but I was really disappointed. I knew what I was expecting and it was lower than that.

Just out of curiosity, what about it don't you like? If you liked RB2, I don't see how you couldn't like this? The gameplay is exactly the same (At least they seem the same, I don't have the game yet so I don't know what's different).

[SonicRocker15X]

^ If you don't pay attention to the Lego graphics they are about the same.

Man I love this game's challenge cinematics.

I laughed so hard when my band is all just staring wide-eyed at the T-Rex and then the drummer just runs for his life screaming... I don't know why but man that cracked me up.

I'm pretty sure they are aware of the export code and will not let you return it without it.

I wish they would... I wish they knew about it, wouldn't let people return without it, and deducted money from it if they were somehow able to figure out if it was used or not... Or didn't take that at all either.

[SonicRocker15X]

I want to ask about it

But I don't know where to start. Could you describe it?

It's kind of RBU on a DS.

[supakoopa]

It's kind of RBU on a DS.

Sort of, there's a few differences though. The largest being that all four tracks are running at all times (unlike RBU, where you would play a track for a few seconds and move on to the next). Another being that you can over strum without ending your multiplier. However, if you don't play a track for a while, the musician will stop "smiling", and you will break your multiplier.

All of the musicians from the console game seem to be in, I played as Blur, Bowie, and Queen. But on the DS you can make them play songs that are not their own (so you can fulfill your dreams of Queen playing "So What").

I noticied that there is a lot of outfits in the store, with the same options as the console (hair, hats, pants, shirts, ect.)

The sound quality is great for a DS title, but even a top, the volume is really low, even for a DS game.

Challenges play somewhat different than regular gameplay, in the song Ghostbusters, a ghost flew in and was flying around some LEGO guy. Also, you can only play one track during a challenge, but it switches between all four instruments.

Also, I forgot to mention that solos are handled the same way they were in Rock Band Unplugged.

I know that you can play the game on the touch screen too. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll get around to it.

[T-Hybrid]

Interesting little "bug", but the "FUNK" genre in LRB is printed with a lowercase 'f' instead of the 'F' it's supposed to have.

Looks kinda funky.

[SonicRocker15X]

WAIT WAIT WAIT, the game is allowed to do this?
It just picked a locked DLC song (Under Pressure) in a random setlist...

[ZosoBaron]

Terrible pun aside, it's been like that on 360 since the Star Patch.

Can we stop posting and quoting the tiers please? It's getting rather annoying having to scroll through it a million times per page.

[T-Hybrid]

How robust is the character creator?

A significant portion of the clothes are recognizeable, though the ability to mainpulate colors is a bit lacking (most stuff that had two changeable colors only have one)

The names arent' the same, but if you have your band's look you can get a feel for what is replacing what.

Of course, some of the more suggestive outfits aren't around anymore. But as you unlock more characters you get their gear added to the store as well.

The only other drawback is the pale face vs. yellowish face parts that REALLY stand out when you pair them together.

[SonicRocker15X]

The only other drawback is the pale face vs. yellowish face parts that REALLY stand out when you pair them together.

Agreed. I hate how my drummer looks good with clothing that doesn't match hi head style.

[T-Hybrid]

There ARE more heads available as you unlock more figs...for example I swapped out the default vocalist head for the band manager's once I unlocked him.

I knew they would do DLC songs (it's happened to me more often than not so far) but I'm surprised it picked a Queen song. Did Queen play it, or your band?

Also, so far whenever I've played a Bowie song, Bowie sings, but the rest of my band is replaced by a the same "session musician" minifigs that were in the Bowie trailer. Can't understand why I can't keep playing as my own guitarist there.

[playmike]

I bought the game at gamestop today. It's ok but I'm thinking about returning it. They have a 7 day full refund policy for new opened items.

If there were a demo for it, I would never have bought it.

sorry for all the negative comments but I was really disappointed. I knew what I was expecting and it was lower than that.
hmm nice, steal the code so the next person who buys the game can't export...

[NoThru22]

I have 197 DLC songs, half of the songs unlocked, and 22 Rock Band songs yet it picked Moving to Seattle once each in two consecutive mystery setlists.

[dxbrbnk]

They are going to sell it used anyway. And I have to pay a restocking fee.


Just out of curiosity, what about it don't you like? If you liked RB2, I don't see how you couldn't like this? The gameplay is exactly the same (At least they seem the same, I don't have the game yet so I don't know what's different).

I don't know exactly. It feels like something is missing in the game. The songs are great but I don't know how to describe it.


Not disappointed enough to steal the export code though.

I'm pretty sure they are aware of the export code and will not let you return it without it.

Fine everyone, IF I return the game, I will also return the code.
I could always trade it in used and get around $20. Then they won't care about the export code.

[madcapmatt]

So I just played Silver in a mystery drum setlist (thank god it wasn't All That Remains or something) and noticed the drummer was doing totally different animations they they should have been during the song. Was I seeing things or are there other songs with similar problems?

No clue. Had a mad crazy fit of nostalgia when I saw it unlock though, that was probably my favorite Lego piece when I was a kid! I have no idea what happened to it, but that shark ate more terrified swimmers than Jaws.

My latest theory is that it might be a microphone for the vocalist, but I haven't checked yet.

Yeah, whatever guidelines they used to pick what made it seem weird. Who Are You and Magic Bus were dropped, but Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Riley made it in. :confused:

I guess fighting for a cause is better than fighting in a bar, and that an entire thinly veiled song about drug use is better than blatantly shouting "THEY'RE ALL WASTED!"

Children can't read subtext. That's why they have trouble with Language Arts classes. Then they finally get it and everything is subtext. Lost exploits this tendency.

[gunstarheroes777]

Quick question: Is there drum solos in the game, and if so, what songs. I know its probably answered in this thread somewhere, but god knows if i can find it. Also, i was suprised to see A Favor House Atlantic. "Good eye sniper, now ill shoot, you run"
Yeah, violent much? Though i guess There Goes my Gun did too.

I really don't get the censorship. Summer of '69 made it into the game, which is obviously a euphemism for when Bryan Adams had lots of sex (he was 9 years old in 1969). Who Are You? is tame in comparison.

Yeah, but Summer of '69 comes across more as a harmless coming of age tale about growing up and leaving your childhood/teenage passions behind you.

Bah c'mon game i want you sooo bad already, and its killing me!!!!

On the IGN is biased thing, i dont buy that as they gave RB2 a 9 and GH:WT a less score. So i dont know. I dont care i just want this game and its in Ohio! Does anybody know in which state do DHL packages leave to come to Australia?

[Ferocious Q]

How come the other Bowie or Queen songs that appear in LEGO aren't available? Have I not ventured enough in the story or something?? And ZOMGLOLZ @ Freddie Mercury in cahoots with aliens!

Here are the IGN ratings...

360 & PS3
LEGO - 7.0
Band Hero - 7.9

Nintendo Wii
LEGO - 5.5
Band Hero - 8.3

ouch

the biggest problems that IGN has with LEGO for 360/PS3 is pretty much the setlist

"45 songs is unacceptable"
"Who is the target audience for this game?"

[CyanFunk]

The Wii score is deserved, to be honest

The Beatles only had 45 songs, yeah? I dont understand that TBH. I love almost every song on that 45 setlist and literally am frothing at the mouth. And in all honesty i think its got a better setlist than RB2 regardless of how many songs are on it.

[InsanityEx]

The Wii score is deserved, to be honestIt is. I hate to admit it but Band Hero wins on the Wii side.

I'm definitely excited as well, although the 45 songs thing is probably one of my only cons.

TB:RB can get away with 45 because it's a band specific game targeted at just Beatles fans. People who get the game will probably love all or most of the songs. However, with something like LEGO there's variety which means less songs leads to people saying "eh, I only like 10-15 songs", etc as seen here on the forums.

[RockBandRocker]

This game should be illegal.

It is an addictive drug of rock and humor that only a person without a soul would be able to resist. :D

Yeah possibly. Although you could argue that 45 songs from the one artist is boring no? I mean, if 45 is not much, why only 45 from one artist? I dont know, im sure any setlist is hit or miss (See what i did there? C,mon HMX NFG!) but i personally love the setlist and think that the 45 on disc is better than the 83 or so on GH5. More songs do not equal better quality. Although music is very opinionated so were all different. Personally i love it and think that 45 is fine. Dont forget it is actually cheaper as well.

I really don't get the censorship. Summer of '69 made it into the game, which is obviously a euphemism for when Bryan Adams had lots of sex (he was 9 years old in 1969). Who Are You? is tame in comparison.

"Who Are You?" says "who the hell." (In the original version, of course, something MUCH harder.) Four-letter words = you lose the E/E10 rating. (Yes, even "hell", unless it's used contextually as a place -- i.e., "put me through Hell").

As for the other Who songs:

Baba was included because there's no four-letter words and no overt drug references. Yes, "wasted/wasteland" can be/has been interpreted as wasted on drugs, but Pete himself has often said that he was talking about wasted potential....i.e., they've all wasted their lives away.

I'm not entirely sure about Magic Bus getting cut, except that RB has a live version that changes/adds lyrics....I'll have to give it a re-listen to see if there was something Pete or Roger dropped in there that shocked the censors.

[RockBandRocker]

Umm...in regards to "Magic Bus", I'm pretty sure it is a song about having sex in the back of a VW "Bus" (van).

[cherokeesam]

Good thought (ah, the Microbus), but it's actually about a run-of-the-mill city bus that the rider takes every day to get to his girlfriend's house. He tries to talk the driver into selling it to him.

"Magic Bus" was also a type of LSD, but the history is still murky as to which title came first -- the drug nickname seems to have come about after the song, instead of vice versa.

[LoopyChew]

-it's literally a skin swap of RB2

In the way Left 4 Dead is a skin swap of Half-Life 2, sure.

[T-Hybrid]

So I played the Bowie gig, but nothing appeared to unlock. Do the celebrity minifigs get unlocked at all or are they only available when you play their songs?

[LoopyChew]

I know I'm late to the party but no Working Man (VE or cover)? Having jobs is too edgy a topic for children.

"Have myself a nice cold beer," maybe?

[T-Hybrid]

I wouldn't bother trying to figure out what is causing songs to be left out and what ones aren't. It's just another version of the censorship discussion with an even less concrete set of rules.

[ZosoBaron]

I love the fact that the drummer drives a car into the pool in the Securi-T-Rex cutscene. Keith Moon FTW.

But then what's "Suddenly I See" doing in the game?

[T-Hybrid]

I don't know if anybody else noticed...but the game seems to have a bit longer loading times than other RB games. But I found that installing this to the HDD (at least on the 360) cuts those down pretty quick.

Maybe with the install option available, devs aren't going through drive reading optimizations as much as they used to. Halo 3 is worse when installed to the HD, and Bungie specifically advised against doing so.

[T-Hybrid]

Another example of this is Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires. The load times in that are INSANE without the install.

[Baanu_Rass]

"Have myself a nice cold beer," maybe?

How did I forget about that?

[Bullseye]

good job (kind of) addressing only two of my points.

The character stuff is aesthetic, i.e. a "skin swap". Super Easy and auto-kick are useless for most, especially because there's already a no-fail option.

Just because random online play is full of nincompoops, it doesn't mean that there needs to be no online play whatsoever. What about only allowing friends? And there's no leaderboards, which is another online feature that adds replay value.

There's no getting around that this game is a step back from both RB2 and TB:RB (especially TB:RB), feature-wise. The only thing it really has "more" of is clothes and backgrounds. Like I said, Band Hero has all the features of GH:5, and 20 more songs. LRB isn't a bad game, but it doesn't do much to establish itself as much more than a track pack.

Just a quick retort. If one already owns GH5 then BH is just a $65 track pack. Sure, it has 20 more songs than LRB but it's not like they're anything to write home about. The features and unlockables appear to be carbon copied from GH5. Unless you're really infatuated with digital Taylor Swift and Gwen Stefani, there's not going to be much incentive to play the game.

LRB is a bit lean when it comes to new features but it's a game that looks like it should appeal to younger players and it's a slightly cheaper track pack ($50 vs $65). Of course you get 20 more songs in BH, but it's a matter of taste as to which sets are better. I'm not sure why people are still complaining about online play. It's a feature that was intentionally left out as this is a kiddie version of RB. Export the songs and play online with RB2 and be done with it. Those auto-kick and super easy modes make it so that kids and non-gamers can enjoy the game. The no fail cheats disable saving on RB2 so basically they are not the same (haven't tested in LRB-do the kid friendly modes also disable saving?). GH5 and BH have these features too, so it's no wonder LRB added them.

In the end, LRB and BH are just glorified track packs, but there's enough features in each that might make some justify it as a full on game.

[RockBandRocker]

Anybody know how to get a created character to be a member/sub in a band?

[Baanu_Rass]

it's a slightly cheaper track pack ($50 vs $65).

Only in America. In Canada exporting LRB costs $70 while BH is only $65. So for $5 less you get 20 more songs.

[IanC14]

No one got the Lego Spinal Tap yet?

I noticed they are hiding it in the credits (http://games.kidswb.com/official-site/lego-rock-band/credits/) on the official site. (right at the end) Iggy Pop is the narrator - im guessing thats the tutorial bits?

Man i hate having to wait a few more weeks :(

SickHands just posted a video of Lego Spinal Tap:

One thing I like about the LEGO Engine. Even if the drum animations are terrible, I like how they handled hand placement on the guitar animations. The guitars in game are Rock Band controllers, with 5 massive fret buttons. It animates it so (other than chords), the character's hand rests on the fret button that matches what you have to play. I think that's pretty neat.

Yikes! Now that's truly some bad marketing. Sorry to hear that.

Nice touch with the guitar animations. Hadn't notice that.

You go into the Rock shop, and re-decorate/re-name the default band members the way you want. So technically thats how you do 'stand-ins'.

[kiggidykev]

Haha Lego Spinal Tap! I knew it!

Yay!

I wonder why they weren't given a full reveal, like the others?

[folkeye]

Even if it's a character I already created?

Yep. You can only use one of your created characters at a time. So you got to re-create the others as your NPC bandmembers :) or Road crew so they show up. Its a pain, but at least you can make them all how you want them to look.

Its getting the hair-dos and clothing thats tough. If a hair-do isn't availible you can buy the person with it and then it shows up in the shop.

[Baanu_Rass]

Yikes! Now that's truly some bad marketing. Sorry to hear that.

It's almost as if Canada hates RB, what with it not being our top selling game of 08. Oh wait...

[cherokeesam]

Awesome Spinal Tap. :)
Would've loved to see an exploding drummer, though

[geo2n2]

Haha Lego Spinal Tap! I knew it!

It's sad that their most iconic song, Stonehenge, isn't playable in the game. Nothing seem that un-family friendly. Weird.

[aspiring]

Just want to say i love that there is FINALLY its own section for this game!

Also
Arrived at Sort Facility Los Angeles Gateway - USA07:00 Los Angeles Gateway, CA - USA

I am pretty sure that is where they leave to go to Australia. So c'mon i want you to come!!!! I want this game so freaking bad!!!

[Wazzup4567]

HA to everyone that says they can only use one of their player made RB characters. In LRB DS u can make all of them and use them all. I al actually very very impressed with LRB DS casue the graphics arent that bad (just a little blocky :P ) and the setlist is shorter. It is actually a fairly well game alone

[Mister_Derp]

in the water. where else.

i saw mine swimming by the submarine.
Hmm, I don't have a submarine yet, so I guess that's why. I checked by the speedboat though. It's not a big deal, I was just curious.

[Ferocious Q]

Who else absolutely loves LRB??? I got this game immediately after school yesterday (I was the first person to buy it and there were no pre-orders...), and I haven't stopped playing it since. I freaking love this game. 9.2 out of 10!!!

I can honestly say that there are maybe 2 or 3 songs I don't like. This game is all me. SUDDENLY I SEE is soo awesome I love that song. Spin Doctors, Bryan Adams, Queen (OMG LEGO Freddie abducted by aliens)... this game is fantastic and I recommend to all.

[sonicnerd23]

DEAR GOD! Kung Fu Fighting is unrelenting on expert guitar! I was lucky to SRFC it!

[Zephiel]

This game is awesome. The only songs I didn't SR5* on drums were Two Princes (confusing), Fire, and Aliens Exist. The last of those I still can't 5 star btw.

[monkeyfish]

Gotta say, the character customization is not looking so hot at the moment.

It would have been much easier if I could pick the color of my Lego dude, THEN the clothes/character section he wore. My ideal combination has me with a yellow head and black chest/hands.

That and the "DUDDAAOOWW!" noise in the menu screens can be very, very annoying. I got booted off before I could see if this could be turned down, so that may not be much of an issue.

It gets better. You just have to deal with different colored faces until you get a minifigure with a face you want, then buy it, and change the clothes on the minfigure.

What is an SRFC

[General Lein979]

What is an SRFCSight Read Full combo.
Sight Read- First run and first time seeing the chart
Full combo- 100% with breaking your note combo the entire song.

[hawkofva]

It's also a Meteorological abbreviation for "surface".

I had NEVER heard that before!

Whats SRFC?? I find this song absolutely crazy, failed too many times. I think on one setlist I got 1 star.

NM I see post before me.

This probably has been covered, but I don't want to sort through over 300 pages to get my answer: when you transfer the LEGO Rock Band songs to RB2, do the LEGO songs retain the LEGO graphics, or do they transfer just the song notations and still use the RB2 graphics, characters and venues?

i haven't even tried yet but i'm pretty sure it would be the latter , there's no way they would have 45 seemingly random songs in rock band 2 where suddenly playing with lego characters amidst hundreds of songs with normal rock band 2 graphics

The songs play with RB2 graphic style. Just like RB DLC plays in LEGO with the lego format.
