Lego Rock Band Pros and Cons

[NickyStardust]

i dont really care about online nor letterboards soo no cons for me, well, except i dont have the cash to buy it right now

Same here...and I'm still getting it lol.

Finally getting to play some Incubus in RB will be awesome.

I just hopes stores around here have received it though...BB and Futureshop's websites have no info if they got it in stock.

Pros:
New Character Creation System
45 Great New Songs
Stars in Quickplay
Rock Challenges
Export

Cons:
Semi-Expensive Export (I'll probably leave it for a while)
DLC Filter blocking some of my favourite songs
I probably won't be able to get my hands on it until Christmas

[Behonkiss]

Pros:
My favorite setlist in the series so far
Good/funny presentation
Rock Challenges
Export
Star tracking built-in

Cons:
No online play or leaderboards
Not nearly as many songs as games in the main series
Not all DLC is compatible

[Bullseye]

Wow, I haven't seen any cons that would make me regret this. Online play has never been a selling point for me. No leaderboards, ha! Like I'm going to be in the top 100 of anything...could care less. I'm guessing the biggest CONs will be those 2000 era songs that grate on my nerves, but they're probably someone else's PROs.

Con: Living in the UK and having to wait till the 27th to get it

[NickyStardust]

Just picked this up...daam can't wait to get home!!

Pro:

Con:
- Terrible setlist. RB2 > BRB > RB1 > LRB
- Terrible graphics. Never understood why anyone would want to see toys dancing around. And yes I played with Legos when I was a kid.
- Same old game. No real improvements. Songs still locked.

Sorry, not a game for me. Just another distraction on the long road to RB3.

Why are you surprised? The game only launched officially like 8-9 hours ago (if you had a midnight release site). Otherwise many of the stores that would sell it aren't even open yet.

Yeah, now there are a million of them going around. I was just surprised that it was 4 hours after launch that nobody was discussing.

PRO
Being able to export the whole lot into RB2 and not having to actually play a Lego game.

CON
Having to wait until the 25th in Australia to get it (but at least we do get it this time, unlike RB2)

[Reedus]

pros:

they are legos.
very clever story presentation (especially ghostbusters).
being able to rename and customize your entire entourage/road crew.
many of the old rock band clothes/instruments are recreated in lego form.
despite not jumping for joy for the setlist, finding out that almost every song is really fun to play.
the nice surpise to find RB1 disc songs and dlc show up automatically (wasn't really clear on how that worked - I assume we wait till next week when us PS3ers can also import RB2 disc songs.)
some really nice and very animated venues.

cons:

the very clunky way the band roster system works in this game. it's a lot of trouble just to customize the NPC bandmates.
the criteria for "approved" songs from other RB's/DLC is confusing, to say the least.

that's all I can think of. I'll have to play through the game a lot more to see if there's anything else to add.
