You can already create a fully customisable rock star to play the songs as, so what new features will the Lego franchise bring to the game?
Sure, Lego men and instruments are cute, but simply replacing all of the current RB content with Lego versions doesn't seem very original to me. Wow, that looks amazing. WANT! 8) WTF! nooo, another lego game. But this might, might work. MIGHT This has mass appeal written all over it!!
Especially for the Wii I think!! I don't get it. I enjoyed the LEGO Starwars, Indy, Batman and look forward to the rumoured LEGO Harry Potter. I also like Rock Band 1 and 2 and look forward to the Beatles version. But I have to agree with Dajmin here, I don't see how combining both these successful franchises is a logical move for either camp.
Lego has built it's recent good reputation on film parodies which are fun, light-hearted platform adventures, with family friendly co-op, drop-in, drop out modes. The humour is visual/slapstick comedy, with no speech - how will this work in Rock Band?
Rock Band offers customisation already, so if it's about 'cuteness' why not just throw in an 'Avatar' mode, and 'Mii' mode, to appeal to that 'casual market.'?
What's next? Sack Boy Sing Star? - (actually I'll TM that idea now)
Could have been worse I guess, at least it isn't My Sims Rock Band! My buddy at TT was telling me about this a few months back and swore me to secrecy... I thought he was taking the piss to be honest :lol: depends on the track list for me.
i love lego and rockband. so i don't see a problem with it. Be cool if the instruments with it were lego themed or even better you had to build them yourself in some kind of customisable lego controller kit. probably just a coincidence, but i'm going to post this, just in case it turns out to be true and i look like genius...
the guy in the last picture looks a bit like jack white. maybe he's going to be in the game? It'll be Playmobile Guitar Hero next! As long as there is a proper Expert difficulty setting, I'm all for this. This game has kung foo fighting and the final countdown! POW i want it already! Fukedy **** **** the worlds coming to an end. While I wouldn't buy this game, I have to admit, business wise this is going to be either a complete flop or a catastrophically great success. Lego being one of the most famous toy brands will raise awareness of the Rock Band franchise for those who are unaware of it and when the kids who play it grow up they'll end up going on to buy the normal versions of Rock Band, or at least that would seem what the hope is. Maybe Lego will make some Mini-Figs to go accompany the game? It would be very stupid if they didn't bother to do something like that because I could see kids all over the country begging parents for that kind of thing.
In theory this is a good decision, but I have doubts in the back of my mind. Then again I said that about Lego Star wars and Lego Batman and they both were awesome games. If I was 5 years old, I'd probably buy this. I found Lego Star Wars, Indy and Batman all to be nice games, well made, fun to play, if a bit buggy at times, but this does seem rather pointless.
Lego X-Men. Lego Spider-Man. Lego Marvel, even. All of these would be better games. Rock Band is already out; what will this add? I suppose the only way it would be worth the time would be if it was released for a budget price and had some different tracks, as I assume it'll work with all the Rock Band peripherals.
But considering the Lego people don't ever speak besides the occasional grunt, how do they sing? Is this for REAL?! I can't believe that people are wasting their time working on a piece of useless shit this will turn out to be! Honestly, I thought game companies could do better than making shit Lego games.
BUT
I could be wrong, this could actually turn out half-decent, but i don't have my hopes up fir this.
