LEGO: Rock Band tier predictions

[kingtonyx]

So will this be like TB:RB where even all the last tier songs aren't too bad, or will these songs actually be challenging?

listening through the songs, the guitar is easier on most songs (not all) but everything else has it's challenges

especially vocals

I played the demo.
Kung Fu Fighting was kind of hard (about 5 O)
Drums on I Want you back was very easy, about the same as ABC : 1 O
Drums on You give love a bad name wasn't that easy but not that hard either : 2 O
So What on drums was trickier that I tought : 3 O

lucky! where did you play the demo?

Awesome post Tony. Fun to read.

Thanks

A punk will be pretty low on guitar and band IMO. Also The passenger will be pretty high on vocals.

Maybe, I guess it depends on what they chart to guitar on "A-Punk"

Here are some official ones (used in the demo at SDCC).

Very interesting. I can see how they got to most of those.

I doubt We Will Rock You will be Tier 0 on Guitar. The solo is pretty gnarly by L:RB's standards.

I'm guessing that Fire will be the hardest song overall (depends on how much of the vocals are talkies.)

Hardest for Guitar: Final Countdown.

Hardest for Vocals: I Want You Back.

Hardest for Drums: Aliens Exist/Fire

Hardest for Bass: Iunno... maybe A-Punk or In Too Deep

Those are my guesses

I think you're right on the hardest songs (with Fire and A-Punk on drums and bass respectively)

Queen is on top my tier 0, but just missed the cut for tier 1

Also, just to nitpick; Walking on Sunshine will probably be Tier 4 or 5 on Vocals due to the improvisation at the end. It was pretty crazy on the Band Hero demo.

Paris, France, about a month ago at some video game trade show (don't know if "trade show" is the right English word)
the game was easy overall, but still very fun.

easy but fun sounds good to me

Fire will be challenging on drums and Short & Sweet will be challenging on guitar probably.

Wow, the tiers Zephiel posted make it clear the difficulty curve of L:RB is way different than RB2. Still, I wonder what that means for some of the DLC. For example, I'm guessing All Right Now is "family friendly" enough to be permitted into the Lego DLC catalog, but that's one of the hardest vocals out there. Hard to imagine it sharing the same tier as "So What."

[Grimman_Dark]

Hard to imagine it sharing the same tier as "So What."

And it's hard to imagine They're Red Hot is not only in the same tier as All Right Now, but actually above it.

Your point?
