Already a Rock Band Addict
On Black Friday, my roommates and I decided to buy a Playstation 3 and the new special edition Rock Band game. We decided it would be our Christmas presents to each other. This may have been a mistake, I’m not sure…we are now completely addicted and I await the 5:30 work whistle every evening, in anticipation of ROCKING OUT!!
After a few hours of sorting the game out, and trying all the instruments, I decided on the guitar, and my other two roommates chose the drum set and microphone.
I am ok at guitar, I’ve never played before, but I do well on easy. I’ve tried moving up to medium, but so far I haven’t been able to further our band on our world tour. We have to all do our gigs on medium as a band in order to gain more fans and venues. My two friends are doing fairly well on medium, but my reflexes just aren’t fast enough to handle the quick notes, and use of the pinky. Last night I decided to try the guitar on base. It seems a lot easier, and now I’m doing well on medium. I’m sure with practice; I can start moving up to expert soon. I haven’t tried it on our tour yet; one of my band mates was not able to play with us last night, so I’m not sure if I can switch my guitar to base on our tour.
Did I mention we were all totally addicted? This is a great game, and wonderful to play as a group. The neighbors have not complained yet, but I can see it coming. The guitar is quiet, but the drums and microphone do make noise, especially when you get bonus points for screaming into the microphone.
I think Rock Band will be selling the extra instruments early next year. The addition of a piano would be wonderful, though I would assume they would also have to add more songs and an upgrade to the ps3 game to complete it.
Rock on dudes!!!
