Is Lego Rock Band overrated?

[Bront20]

It has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to export (or the lack thereof). Some people are against band-specific games, period. They think that all they do is over-saturate the market. (After a certain point, I'd have to agree.)

Regardless of how influential the Beatles are, if you're against band games, you're against band games, and thus Harmonix has done wrong by you.

Well, that's a reasonable point at least, even if I were to disagree in this case.

This game definitely is a steal for 20 bucks. And it is worth the good songs that are in it. I just feel as if the story mode could have been a little more better? Every venue was basically the same thing. Create a setlist - 2 songs, mystery setlist - 2 songs, create a setlist - 3 songs, and mystery setlist - 3 songs. It got very boring after a while. Well, now that I exported the songs on rb2. And im almost done with the achievements for this game, I will no longer play it =]

I have found that Lego Rock Band is grossly underrated.

It's more than just another setlist to export to RB2, this game has character, it has a storyline, the customization is ridiculous, and it's got a certain charm that's lacking in the other RB games.

Aside from that, my favorite part about Lego Rock Band is the option to turn off the kick pedal on the drums. Sure, some of you purists will scoff at the notion, but hey, my leg gets tired after like 2 songs of constantly pressing that pedal.

Not to mention, I'm fully capable of hitting the drum patterns on practically every song on Expert difficulty, but the kick pedal throws me off and throws off my whole performance.

Case in point: a DLC song from RB2 (the free pack) called "Ashes to Fire" has got to be the funnest song to play on the drums (Expert). I love it. But there's no way I could play the Expert version with that kick pedal. Not a chance. But I can with LRB and I constantly throw it into my setlists during story mode.

Only negative I've found is the absence of Online play, but I've learned to deal with it.

PS: To anyone hating on the crappy songs, I'd re-look at the songlists of every other RB game if I were you, there's crappy songs on all of 'em.

I love Lego Rock Band and I wish there was a way I could play all my stuff using LRB instead of RB2.

Nothing is overrated for $15.

Rock Revolution is.

Rock Revolution is.

That's why I'm glad I only paid 9.99 for it. totally worth it just to get Rush's Spirit of Radio cover

I would love to see Lego RB 2 sometime soon!
