Product Description
Product description Action in LEGO Rock Band for DS is true to the Rock Band standard of play found in other releases in the franchise, only with a LEGO twist. Your goal is to run through a succession of rock tinged, family friendly song tracks with your band. Bandmates are indicated by four separate avatars representing your guitar player, bass guitarist, drummer and vocalist. The game doesn't need a peripheral like other music games on the DS, instead the player indicates the appropriate rhythm for each bandmate in turn through a combination of the DS' D-Pad, face buttons, mic and eventually its stylus. Players switch between parts using the shoulder buttons. The game also supports 2-4 person multiplayer over a DS multi-card Wi-Fi connection. One of the fun LEGO influences is in the tablature flowing across the screen that directs your play. This is in the form of LEGO blocks color coded for each controller. As with all Rock Band games, consistency gains the player multipliers which earns them more points. As players successfully complete songs and rock challenges, they can collect LEGO 'studs,' with which they can customize their avatar and other in-game goodies in true LEGO Snap-On fashion. In addition, players can unlock additional content and collect amazing vehicles, which can be used to transport their band from local gigs at rock clubs to epic stadium shows and even fantasy settings on Earth and beyond. The game contains a variety of play modes including Quickplay and Challenge, which guarantees varied gameplay. Amazon.com LEGO Rock Band merges two of the most popular video game franchises to deliver a unique family-friendly music experience that will take tweens, teens, families and gamers of all ages on a wild journey to rock stardom in order to "Build a Band and Rock the Universe." Combining authentic rhythm/music gaming experience of Rock Band with the accessibility, customization and humor of LEGO games, LEGO Rock Band allows players to create their own unique rock star style and customize their own avatars, band members, roadies, and managers. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } Gameplay Action in LEGO Rock Band for DS is true to the Rock Band standard of play found in other releases in the franchise, only with a LEGO twist.

Customer Reviews
This has become one of my son's favorite games. I haven't played it more than once, so I'm not writing this review from experience. But I've witnessed enough aunts and uncles playing it to know that adults and kids will enjoy this alike. The music is varied (from different eras), which I see as a positive. There are a few songs I don't let him play, because of language that isn't kid friendly. I guess that is relative, but it does seem rather short-sighted on the software designer's part to include songs that may be questionable for some, where there is SO much material out there to pull from. I look forward to (and if this exists already, I am just unaware of it) to the day when you can simply pick and pay for songs of your choice. Seems like that is the best way to make both kids and parents happy and could be pretty lucrative for software owners and artists.All in all, it's well worth the price and will make almost any kid happy.I bought this game for my pre-teen niece, who tells me that she loves playing it, it's really fun, and that I'm "the best aunt ever".I was surprised to see so many folks purchasing this for younger kids... probably because of the Lego theme. I was pleased that even a 12 year old didn't find this "too babyish". I was looking for something wholesome, yet entertaining, and I think I really hit the mark with this one. Her mother assures me that the value for the game is tremendous, considering how many hours my niece has spent playing it.Personally, I thought the game screen looks a little cluttered, with lego singers, scrolling lyrics at the top of the screen, video frets, some kind of progress bar across the top, a score tally, and many other flashing winking things besides. I couldn't tell where to look first. No matter! My niece seemed to grasp this just fine, quickly becoming really good at it.If you already own a Nintendo DS system, do yourself a favor and pick up this affordably priced, entertaining game.This games certainly "rocks" with my two sons, 6 & 9. I am significantly older and still enjoyed learning and playing the game. It's not hard, but fun. Creating your own band members with their own wardrobe was also a good time. Lots of classic rock songs and newer ones too, made it addictive. Not to mention, that you will be humming all the songs that you played. My generation is more "Queen" and "Ghostbusters" buy I learned Pink's "Rock Star" too. And because it is a LEGO product, it has a delightful sense of humor that is ageless. NO BAD LYRICS either. It is appropriate and enjoyable for any one who plays. Rock on!If there was ever a format a first time rock band player the DS is it. I played this game for hours on end playing "We Will Rock You" and "So What" And doing quite well(It should be noted I played the super easy setting to get my feet wet). The game's simple face button interface is great and the songs are the actual songs(Pink's "So What" Is censored and some songs are shortened to hold the young'uns attention span) A rarity for a DS game. All in all for those of us who don't want to shell out the cash for a Rock Band set can get this and have a blast. ROCK ON!!!!My 7yr son plays this all the time. He learned really fast and has improved quickly. Great list of songs on this, so I find it rather pleasing to listen to. Queen, ACDC, other greathan classic legendsGood price and good qualitymy boys received this for Christmas & they love it! my 8yr old plays it all the time! the songs aren't bad either- to sit next to me & play, isn't so bad, as some songs it could have on there. And it's neat to be able to design your own band!It came in a timely fashions and it works just fine. My son doesn't like the game as much as I had anticipated but that's my fault :)カスタム可能なレゴキャラがノリノリ！タッチペンや指でも楽しめる、縦スクロールの音ゲーです。何といっても誰もが知ってる名曲づくしで、DSとはいえ、オリジナル音源とご本人音声で楽しめます！Queen、ジャクソン5、デヴィッドボウイ、ブラー等専用コントローラーは無く、ボタンで操作するタイプの音楽ゲームです。ロックバンド自体が初プレイで、同ジャンルのギターヒーローもプレイしたことはありませんが、ギターヒーローやポップンミュージックといったコナミの音ゲーは数回プレイした事があります。システム自体はコナミの音楽ゲームと同じです。タイミングに合わせてボタンを押すだけのシンプルな操作です。ギターヒーローではＤＳ独自の専用コントローラーがあって評価も高いようですが、こちらはボタンのみの操作なので、楽器を演奏する感覚はほぼゼロです。リズムに乗ってボタンをタイミングよく押すだけですが、曲が好きになれるか、音楽にノレるかどうかがこのゲームを面白く感じるかどうかの全てになるとおもいます。ギター、ベース、ドラム、ボーカルの各パートを頻繁に切り替えて演奏するシステムですが、ひとつの楽器に集中して演奏する方が楽しいと感じました。それと、これは他の音楽ゲームにも言えることですが、ボタンを押すタイミングが結構シビアです。実際のアーティストのライブ演奏なんて、ボーカルやギターのタイミングがコンマ何秒ズレる（というよりわざとタイミングをずらして歌う）なんてしょっちゅうなのに、寸分たがわず同じタイミングで押さないと失敗とみなされるのはストレスがたまりました。ゲームとしてはタイミングにシビアというシステムは成立していますが、「音楽を楽しく演奏する」という視点で考えた場合、あれほどのタイミングの誤差範囲の小ささは必要ないような気がします。せめて難易度によってタイミング幅をもっと調整できなかったものかと思いました。自分の場合、聞き覚えがあってなじみのある収録曲が多いので購入しました。逆にいうと、好きな曲が無ければ楽しめないと思います。音質は良好で、曲もオリジナル、フルコーラス流れますし、最初から全ての曲で好きなときにプレイできるので、手軽に遊ぶにはちょうどいいです。
