at first i totally dismissed the idea, but now it sounds like theres a lil more too this game then squeezing a bit more money out of dumb parents. Im intrigued | |
Everything looks cooler in LEGO | |
I'm sold. | |
Interesting. Its not just another Rock Band so far. I'll wait for more information before I pass judgment. | |
Sounds pretty great. | |
Agreed, good sir. | |
Totally agree | |
This. | |
Rockband = lame Lego Rock band = Mildly lame? Lamely entertaining? | |
Heh, this looks to actually be worth a purchase. I like Lego games, and this doesn't seem to just be a silly cash-in, so I might buy it. | |
Hmm... I'm happy, angry, and sad all at the same time. | |
Taking out skyscrapers and giant robots with the power of rock? That sounds like something Jack Black would do for one of his movies. | |
*sighs* | |
Rock Band = Good for parties Lego Rock Band = Good for chardies? Good for parldren? Good for nothing? | |
I would be cool if the music note blocks looked like Legos. | |
Umm.... rock music that destroy things.... where have i heard that from..... The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.... | |
Giant Robots? I'm in. | |
Sweeeeeet. Looks better than rockband anyways | |
I think I might give this a rental rather than a purchase, my bloody skepticalism. | |
Agreed the whole idea doesn't appeal to me, might be fun depending on the track list. | |
Its a bid sad they make so much Lego versions of things these days. But still the game sounds like a lot of fun:) | |
Here here | |
I thought it sounded more like Elite Beat Agents, but with actual problems. | |
Anyone else think it is retarded that Lego can get away with making games that essentially downgrade the graphics and gameplay of a genuinely fun game? By claiming they are making it family friendly?? THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING WRONG WITH ROCK BAND AND ROCK BAND 2!!! The sooner people realize this, the sooner I find something else to bitch about. Also, for those of you who claim the lyrics in Rock Band are "questionable" or "fucking outrageous", i direct you to an L&E article here. | |
Are you implying that children are nothing? Then why the hell is Lego still around? My world is collapsing around me!! | |
This will be the BEST GUILTY PLEASURE EVER! | |
This may push me over the edge to finally get Rock Band, and I really want to get Rock Band but I'm too cheap and/or lazy. | |
I'm sure I read something about this last month on here... It sounds like it has some cool features, and we can only hope that with the Kids release of a rock band, there may be some consideration in leaving in explicit lyrics in the songs on future rock band releases. I mean come on, a cowbell (I think it was a cowbell anyways) in Down with the sickness? Especially during the most entertaining part of the lyrics... I personally would rather the song not be there. | |
That is because this News thread is a month old. I am really getting tired of Newsroom necromancy, but at least this isn't a year old like some others... | |
Yeah sorry thats my bad, I did a search for it and then forgot thinking i'd opened a recent post. I do like the use of necromancy though there though :D | |
If this had been the system in any of the other guitar-playing games, I would be into them right now. | |
Personally, I'm waiting for the first Lego film. Butt this rock band business sounds interesting. Maybe you have to build the guitar out of Lego before you can play. | |
Makes sense, isn't Lego all about building things then destroying them. | |

LEGO Rock Band Details Reveal Giant Robots
If you were wondering exactly what makes LEGO Rock Band different from Rock Band aside from the LEGO graphics, here's your answer: giant robots.
The idea of a LEGO Rock Band might not seem like much more than a more family friendly skewed take on Harmonix' band-in-a-box game, but, according to new details about the game released on its Xbox.com page, it won't just be more family friendly. It'll be a bit weirder, too.
See, in Rock Band and Rock Band 2's career modes, you just take your fictional band around the world, play music, and accumulate cash. That's part of LEGO Rock Band, except instead of money you earn LEGO blocks, which you use to build new vehicles that'll take you to new venues. But that's just one part. See, in this game , you don't just play music to make money. You play it to slay giant robots.
"Play killer riffs to destroy a giant robot, summon a storm, and demolish a skyscraper using the power of rock!" the page lists, describing what it calls "LEGO-themed rock challenges."
So there, that's one thing that LEGO Rock Band does that Rock Band doesn't. Other things include a new "easier skill set option" so your mom can play drums without difficulty, the ability to customize your entire entourage, from your band to your roadies and even your manager (LEGO Albert Grossman here we come). Finally, there's also a customizable "LEGO rock-den" where you can buy and furnish a place with LEGO goodies to create a LEGO MTV Cribs-worthy hangout.
