Many Rock Band players have complained about Neversoft's supposed poor job of charting the notes, and while I've never noticed a big difference, I don't imagine that anyone who found this to be a sticking point before will suddenly be singing Neversoft's praises (but for the large majority of players, it's probably fine). But for what it's worth, I plan on having my circle of friends make a very serious effort of not only going through GH5 but putting it in our regular rotation of games for rock night. Its impressive accessibility, increased ease of switching instruments, and reduced time fiddling in menus should be a pleasant improvement. Activision is intent on beating Rock Band and their new Beatles game to market, so they're releasing one week ahead on September 2nd for PS2, PS3, Wii, and 360".
PlayStation Universe takes a look back at some of the games and moments where David Bowie's music struck a chord in videogames.
Ended up doing quite well with ziggy stardust on GH; was only on medium but I still consider it an achievement 😃
Wasn't David Bowie in a Quantic Dreams game during the PS2 era?
These tracks wouldn’t be half as big if it wasn’t for Activision’s button-shredding megafranchise.
The writer of this article is obviously musically incompetent. Free Bird, nor Lynyrd Skynyrd, owes debt to anyone concerning their music and especially concerning Free Bird. It is one of the greatest and most highly ranked songs in the history of rock music, not to mention it contains one of the top ten guitar solos in rock history. I realize that in order to be considered great in the music industry these days all you have to do is copy something that someone else did years ago, but you should do a little research before making totally ridiculous and inaccurate statements.
Surprisingly enough, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to rediscover this gem.
Funny, went to my Daughter's house over the weekend. We played Rock Band, first time in about two years. It was just as much fun as I remembered.
@ Sayburr: "Rock Band Night" was a frequently used term for me and my mates too !
