LEGO Rock Band in Holiday 2009
What’s made of LEGOs and rocks you like a hurricane? According to an official announcement from Traveler’s Tales Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Harmonix, LEGO Rock Band. Yeah, after all the speculation and posturing, it turns out that the rumors were true. Dubbed a “family-friendly music experience,” LEGO Rock Band players will build a band and rock the world.
The Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 versions of the game will be developed by TT Games with the help of Harmonix, while the DS version will be developed with Backbone Entertainment and Harmonix at the helm. All versions will be released sometime in holiday 2009. 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. LEGO Rock Band supports Rock Band instruments, as well as other music game controllers. Players can also expect local venues, stadiums and fantasy locations on Earth and beyond that attempt to capture the imaginative settings of the LEGO toy universe.
The game will offer multiplayer similar to what is in the Rock Band games, but a full accounting is to be revealed at a later date. Some of the songs to expect in LEGO Rock Band include Blur’s Song 2, Carl Douglas’ classic Kung-Fu Fighting, Europe’s 80’s power ballad The Final Countdown, Good Charlotte’s
Boys and Girls and Pink’s So What. No doubt more tunes and more details are to be announced later this year.
