What do you think of Rock Band Blitz?

this game.... is not my thing.

Blegh... Its an iOS game being released on the PSN/360.

It's not really my thing... I want Rock Band 4 already.

It's fun, although quite an adjustment. I never played Amplitude or those games so this format is new for me. It's been forever since I only got three stars on a song. The controls will take some getting used to, tried a few other control layouts and it was still tough. In particular, the vocals tracks are just odd...it feels very unintuitive compared to the other instruments. But I'll get better hopefully.

I played it for a while, but it's been hard to resist just playing the Blitz songs in RB3. "One Week" was the most fun I've had on vocals in a LONG time.

I don't feel like I'm actually playing the songs like I do in RB3, so right there it's a waste to me. Instead, I just feel like I'm mashing buttons while a song plays in the background.

I think this hits the nail on the head pretty well.

I haven't been crazy enthusiastic about it so far, as there was a tragedy in my personal life that kinda blindsided me earlier this week. Still, I played it some yesterday before I went to sleep, and I've found an impulse urge to try a song or two when I woke up in the morning, and then I fired off a Score War so I'll see how that is when I get home, and so I guess I'm kinda addicted to this game after all.

That's why I'm not crazy about it. The awesome thing about RB to me is the track separation and the feeling like you're actually responsible for making the track be heard. (i.e playing the notes) I think it's awesome to hear individual tracks drop-in out in your songs as you get to appreciate each musician's work in a way you don't get to with an mp3. The cool factor there is pretty huge. There's a bit of that with the volume levels of the tracks being different, but it doesn't feel as fun or interactive as RB Unplugged, which I like much more. I'd love to have a non-instrument way to "play" all of my DLC the tracks more interactively than Blitz. It's still fun, though.

After almost two years of waiting, Blitz gave me the chance to finally play Spoonman on expert Pro drums. This alone makes Blitz Game of the Year for me.

I thought it was the most awesome game in the world, but I have to take a few points off for the solo on "The Battle of Lil' Slugger."

[Desverger]

I think it's pretty good for what it is, but unfortunately what it is is not what greatly interests me. I'll probably play it a few times more (for the novelty and the cheaper achievements), but I can't see any way it will become something I look forward to playing.

Of course, I've only played two songs so I might be premature. Perhaps the massive hand cramps I suffered won't be a regular feature?
