    Guitarist arm animations

    Anyone else think it's funny? The way they move their arm all the way up and down the fretboard really fast at solos. Oh yeah, you know what they're good at

    It's because the hand movement mimics the fret buttons you have to press, but while you can use your fingers to hit these bits, they have to use their whole arm.

    It's a nice little touch, makes up for the broken drum animations

    yeah, i noticed that. reminds me all too much of GH:WT. Man, did they ever slack off on the drum animations. No matter what song, it always looks like an ape pounding on the drums.

    They're LEGOs. There's only so much you can do to animate LEGO characters.

    You could at least have them hitting the right drums, like they do on regular rock band.

    Dude, half the time on a part that is only bass guitar, the bassist isn't animated as playing, they are tapping their hip.

    They could have mapped a drum pad or cymbal to each color like they did for the frets.

    It's hard to hit the right drums when you have elbows that don't bend

    Damn, it must suck to be a drummer with no wrist movement. Imagine the elbow and shoulder pain!
    Also, I have butter cookies!

    Well, they don't technically have elbows either, so it's all shoulder.
