Consequently, we bought a Lenny Kravitz song, Let Love Rule, and got Funk #49 by The James Gang along with it. ![]() EA lets you spend $1 to buy two-packs of songs as In-App Purchases if you’d like to find additional music to play with, but doesn’t include updated art with the songs, and often bundles tracks by two artists together. Some of the songs are unlocked as “Mystery Songs” as you play through a World Tour mode others are available from the start in a Quick Play mode. Harmonix uses real tracks from real performers-not covers, like Gameloft’s games-but the mix of included songs really didn’t do too much for us we were bored playing drums, for instance, on George Thorogood’s otherwise great Bad To The Bone, and felt similarly nonplussed by tracks from the All-American Rejects, Pixies, Jethro Tull, and AFI. Ultimately, the music is the primary thing that can make or break a game like Rock Band, and whether you’ll like this one will really depend on whether rock and alt-rock appeal to you. In addition to watching a lot of falling green, red, yellow, and blue bars, which change into dots for the vocalist mode, triggering some modestly interesting henna-like scrolling background patterns, the top of the screen is occupied by some modestly animated, generic artwork of a band playing this art doesn’t change for any of the included singers, so you’ll see a male vocalist performing when the Go-Gos are singing We Got The Beat. The on-screen displays differ a little for the four parts, most notably changing the orientation of the pads for the vocals, but the goal is always the same: tap or hold on the right pad for as many notes as possible in a row, shaking the device to activate a point multiplier when you’ve built up a meter with good play. Having seen the nothing short of amazing job Harmonix did with its recent Beatles version of Rock Band for game consoles, Rock Band on the iPhone is somewhat of a visual letdown-below the graphical level of Gameloft’s Guitar Rock Tour titles and barely up to the standards of the better games in the Tap Tap series. Rock Band also supports multiplayer over Bluetooth, enabling multiple people to take up instruments and play on the same song at once, with a Unison bonus for good play. If you fail to hit your notes as a guitarist, the guitar line drops out of the song fail to tap the right bars for long enough as a vocalist and the song becomes an instrumental. Unlike Tap Tap, but like Gameloft’s Guitar Rock Tour titles, you can choose from multiple instruments-here, guitar, bass guitar, drums, and vocals-and each of the game’s 20 included tracks is actually broken up into those four parts, each part with its own notes to hit, increasing over several levels of difficulty. Just like the Tap Tap titles, Rock Band is a four-line rhythm game that has you tap on separately colored bottom-of-screen pads every time a bar falls from the top of the line through a checkpoint near the bottom pads: your goal is to tap at the exact second a bar crosses the checkpoint, repeating this action across the four lines in a way that roughly corresponds with what you’re hearing in a licensed song.
