iPhone App Review: Rock Band

When I saw that Rock Band had a version for the iPhone and iPod Touch, I had to get it; speaking that I love to play it on my PS3. So I bought Rock Band. How does it live up to the console version. Let's find out.

Graphics: 7/10 The graphics were OK. The game has the fretboard that you are used to, but with only four buttons. At the top they had some moving pictures, since thats what they basically are. I would have liked to see like what Rock Band Unplugged for PSP had.

Song selection: 8/10 I liked most of the song selection with songs like "Attack" by 30 Seconds to Mars to songs like "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood. The game came with 20 songs, for an iPhone game that is good though. None of those songs fit your likings. EA opened up a Music store so you could buy more songs. The price is 99 cents for one songs.

How the songs sound: 9/10 To see how the game sounded I hooked my iPod Touch up to 3 different songs sounded. The headphones being Bose in-ear headphones, Apple headphones, and Beats by Dr. Dre. The sound was great between all of the pairs of headphones.

Multiplayer: 7/10 I had the chance to play it with 2 of my friends one day. We played over Bluetooth with our iPod's. It was fun. We all played at the same time for one massive score. When I tried out WiFi it was not as good. You log in on your Facebook profile and then you play songs. Later, Rock Band will send you a message telling you how the other people did. I did not like playing on WiFi.

All together: 8/10 The game is worth buying once it drops from 10 USD. But if you can't wait for it to drop in price buy it. One of my major complaints that I did not that I did not talk about being the singing. You should be able to pick if you want to sing the song. But instead you have 4 different pitches to chose from. My only other complaint is the button size. The red and the yellow are to close, that means that I end up missing some of the notes, and I have smaller hands so it's not like I have huge hands. Overall I like the game and find it enjoyable.

Thank you for spending time and reading this.
