OK, some things that popped into my head, and I haven't played the demo so I don't know exactly how these things are dealt with in the game.

I know we can make our own custom character, but HOW custom can we make our character?

Can we, for instance, after choosing a hair style, change the color? add a streak? change the length?

Change the flare on our bell-bottoms? Alter the bagginess of our clothes?

What about the clothes we can choose right off the bat? I heard that you have to earn money and shop for clothes, but I hope there's at least a few different outfits in the beginning, so we're not all dressed in a t-shirt and jeans...

And for the "model movement", well, I didn't quite know how to say it. Basically I'm wondering if, when you play a certain song, the models will always move in a prescribed way, at certain points in the song.

For example, if you watch the "Suffragette City" video, will the singer always jump off the stage at the same point in the song? Will the guitarist always jump in front of the drum kit during the little break in the middle? Will we always have the camera looking down the neck of the guitar at the exact same point in the song every single time we play it?

Now, granted, I'll probably be too busy looking at the scrolling charts to really notice. Hell, I didn't even notice if they were repeating movements in Guitar Hero. I just thought it'd be interesting if it was different every time.

I would suggest you visit Rock Band's website and see for yourself. ;)

There's a handful of videos on character creation on the Game Info page that provide a good sense of how it works.

Also, some of the PR blurbs talk about "signature moves" but I didn't see anything in the character creation videos that showed that this was an option (other than the generic "style" selection).

Some hairstyles come with a built-in color streak, and you can adjust it independently of the main hair color. Also, you can pick from four animation styles: Rock, Punk, Goth, Metal.

Here's a good video showing everything off.

Can't wait to make some characters!
