Dissapointed in LRB?

[April_Frost]

I love it. Its super cute and it makes me laugh and smile. The songs are all musical, and not over-produced noise. (Early metal is the only metal I can enjoy, and the fact that RB2 forces you to play so much grind and screech to get anywhere annoys me no end. Just my taste, but I AM a classically trained musician.) This prolly costs me cool pts, but what the heck. My best friend and fav RB drummer didn't much want to play this one ("Not so much a fan of the Legos, April") but She loved Ghostbusters, Accidentally in Love, You Give Love a Bad Name, and a few others she DIDN'T expect to like. Valerie may be my new favorite song. Online doesn't do to much for me, as my disabilty keeps locked at mediuum for now. I give it a 9.

I didn't like it. I didn't like most of the songs, there's not enough songs to keep me playing for weeks, and there's no online play or DLC.

It was a pleasant surprise. Definitely a more pop oriented setlist, but there are a number of gems (Ghostbusters, Final Countdown, Queen x2, etc.), a "free" export to RB2+ (in that the game+export is $60), a terribly enjoyable story mode, rock challenges, recording albums, and tons of other little tweaks that made the game far better than the total joke I expected it to be. Slow loading times, no online, and FF-only songs do limit replayability, but I'd say it was well worth the purchase. 8/10

I'm more satisfied with the setlist than I am with the game itself. I liked the game too, but it had a few issues (crashes, loading times). The setlist was actually REALLY good imo, which surprised me. I ended up losing interest in going for the achievements and export/sold it fairly early.

I love playing the game. A couple of the songs are meh, but overall HMX did an EXCELLENT job making a family-oriented, inexpensive LEGO music game.

I've been playing these games since Guitar Hero 3, but didn't bother with Lego Rock Band because the reviews of the Wii version weren't particularly good (poor graphics compared to games like Rock Band 2, no export or DLC, etc). But I've recently started playing Rock Band games on my 360 (thanks to a secondhand guitar controller that cost me all of £10) and I've really been enjoing Lego Rock Band. It has its annoyances (when you get a challenge it doesn't unlock it for playing later, you have to play it when it unlocks), but the game itself is fun and the setlist has some well-known tracks in it. (My favourite at the moment is Crocodile Rock because the bassline on expert is fun and yet challenging). And if you don't smile the first time you play the Ghostbusters challenge, there must be something wrong with you.

I found lego rock band ok but it wasn't anything special :T but i did like some of the songs on it so yeah

It definitely has higher value for the Xbox360/PS3 than for the Wii, since you can't export the songs to RB2 on the Wii. I love the fact that I can mix up my setlists on RB2 with the generally lighter, easier, "poppier" songs on L:RB.

Plus, I got it for only $20 + $10 export. Definitely worth that money!

Apart from not being able to play all my songs (Which is for a good reason), and the god-awful blinding OD background, I'd say it's pretty much superior to RB. Just generally scrolling through the menus is a lot quicker than RB2's, I actually found the tour mode bearable in this one (As opposed to an out of reach novelty on RB1, and a tedious, terrible repetitive mode on RB2). I didn't lose fans by restarting of cancelling a gig, I could equip all my tour managers to make it easier to gain funding, I could casually play a song with my entire band, I wasn't forced to play Round and Round constantly on bass pretty much every single time, once I unlocked a piece of clothing or an instrument for one person, I unlocked it for everyone, and while I do love the music videos in RB2, the rock power challenges in L:RB dominated them in every way possible. Plus, it saved breakneck speed, too. I even had no issue with the lack of online play.

I'd much rather be able to send over my RB2 songs and play all of them on L:RB as opposed to the other way round. After L:RB, I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Tour Mode will turn out on RB3, as opposed to deciding that it was the worst gameplay mode across all GH/RB games.

I really enjoyed it. I thought it was going in a good direction. I mean for the first time in Rock Band, aside from the first time I played Rock Band one, I felt like I was in a band. I get my own place to deck out, hire real people who do stuff, make a band that stays the same through out and MAKE ALBUMS!!!!! The other Rock Bands are just the same. Start up, play and done. There was no story. This had a story. Granted, it was for kids. However, even with its child like feel it really made me feel like I progressed into a rock star. Rock Band needs more of that story feel.

No online?? Ehh... I don't play online stuff anyway. So I didn't care. The one downfall for me was the songs off the network not going onto Lego. Some songs would have been nice to put onto a album.

I thought Lego moved Rock Band as a whole in a good direction. Like I said it make the player go through a career mode that was more then "Play in hometown, get bus, play Chicago, Play England". It had cut scenes that showed your growth, albums that you actually titled and made (unlike Rock Band 1 and 2 that had "Greatest hits" in the loading screen). It make more of a career jump which I think is needed in Rock Band. It was kiddy but fun at the same time. One of the best I think!
