3: Gameplay

This game bears resemblance to Guitar Hero 1 and 2, but is is slightly different due to new elements embedded, such as playing the drum and singing. It is a new platform for gamers to interact with music. The gameplay challenges user to gather a band and tour for fame and fortune mastering lead/bass guitar, drums and vocals. The gameplay learning curve is very simple, user only have to press a coloured button that matches the coloured light that appears on the screen. This means that if a yellow colours appears on the screen while you are playing, quickly press the yellow button at the right time. The more you get it right, the higher your score will be. Depending on the difficulty setting, you doesn’t have to hit every single note, but the song is broken into phrases, and it seems that the software grades each phrase by how well the singer matches it.

Each instruments have 4 difficulties level, you can beat the higher difficulties level after you level up your skill. If you are a newbie, having only to use 3 out of 5 buttons will certainly ease your gameplay.

The drums are for those who really want to rocks out. The drums is made using high quality material with a sturdy feel, so it should be able to withstand constant beating, especially in this type of game. The base of the drum is wide and solid, with the metal poles that hold the drum pads up are adjustable so players of different heights should be able to get comfortable. There is also a full controller built into the drums so that you can navigate the menus using either the drum pads or the d-pad and buttons. The pads themselves are much larger than I was was expected.

Rock Band: Band in a Box contains a Fender Stratocaster guitar , has more features, and feels great to play with even if you’re used to the Guitar Hero controllers. If you have Guitar Hero 3 Guitar, you can also use it in this game. While some people may have trouble adjusting, the ability to play with Guitar Hero guitars gives people the option to ditch the extra buttons and the special effects to go back to something they’re more used to.

4: Conclusion

Overall, this is a hugely entertaining game that is rather special given that there isn’t anything else quite like it as a single game.  You’ll have hours of fun, especially if you’re the sort who has regular gaming sessions at your home.  Just be aware that space is a consideration, the whole kit is not exactly small.

The final real consideration in the purchase of Rock Band: Band In A Box is that it doesn’t come with the game.  You are required to buy the game Rock Band: Solus in order to complete the full package .  The cost will be bit expensive.  However, I certainly recommend this if you like music and gaming. Rock Band: Band in a Box is highly recommended set of game.
