LEGO Rock Band Confirmed

Posted by Soulskill on from the how-does-that-even-work dept.

SailorSpork writes to tell us that the rumored LEGO Rock Band has been confirmed, and it's set to be released later this year. The game is being developed for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and DS. The press release lists the first five songs selected for the game, and says players will "work their way through local venues, stadiums and fantasy locations on Earth and beyond, that mimic the imaginative settings that the LEGO world offers. Also continuing the LEGO 'build-and-play' gaming experience, players will be able to create their own LEGO Rock Band style as they customize their minifigure avatars, band and entourage, including roadies, managers and crew." A new page on the Xbox website provides more (slightly odd) details: "Play killer riffs to destroy a giant robot, summon a storm, and demolish a skyscraper using the power of rock!"

    This is one that's gotta have the White Stripes' "Fell in Love with a Girl" as one of the songs. It just wouldn't be right if it didn't.

      I second that. Lookitup on Youtube if you don't understand why.

    That would actually be Chewy on drums, Leia on vocals, Vader on bass, Han and Luke on guitar, and R2/C3PO on synth.

    You're pretty much spot on, but I'd like to add that all the Lego games have been pretty good. If you dismiss them as kid's games, you're missing out.
