Consolidation might not sound very rock'n'roll, but what Rock Band 4 does, at its best, is work hard to melt away any distance between the player and the music. When you're in full flight on Rush's A Passage To Bangkok, locked into a groove with friends operating as a tight, responsive, giddy unit,...

Rock Band 4 has a unique focus for a franchise that's been running this long: It's less of a sequel, and more of a migration. Through license negotiations, backward compatibility tweaks and a handful of smart feature cuts, Rock Band 4 has made it so you don't have to "start over" on your current-gen...

I can't stop listening to The Protomen. I've known about this band and their Mega Man-inspired tunes for years now, but I never really gave them a chance until ''Light Up the Night'' popped up during a Rock Band 4 set.

Retains the spirit and sincerity of the original games; Classic note-matching gameplay is still a total party; Freestyle Solos offer fresh; rewarding gameplay; A few gems hidden within the tracklist

Story elements fail to create a compelling campaign; A relatively lackluster tracklist overall; Generally a little light on content and new ideas

Harmonix are putting the band back together.

Crooning, beefcake pop sensation Thom Yorke once sang, "whatever makes you happy, whatever you want". You get the impression that this was in the minds of Harmonix when they made Rock Band 3.

Everything working great, delivery time really quick. It's just really hard to find and download all our old Rock Band 3 songs which is annoying!

Harmonix's Rock Band 4 is to Rock Band 3 as the Rolling Stones are to music today: inevitable, classic, and tried and true-and tired. Fans know exactly what they're getting with this newest iteration, because it's more or less exactly what they've gotten before.

Как купил игру, два дня рубился в неё с друзьями. Доступных песен много, хотя для меня там мало известных групп, но это не значит что песни мне не нравятся. Контроллеры сделаны качественно, игра не глючит.

It's Rock Band 4 enough is said...new set-list is nice, the Rock Band store still needs a lot of work on stability and accessibility when going from in game. It took me a long time to try and find my old downloaded songs which was the most frustrating.

If you liked Rock Band before, you know what you are getting here. I am glad that Mad Catz allowed us to use our instruments from Rock Band 3 and Guitar Hero on PS3, but I am still waiting to transfer over my old DLC. The competition may have a wider selection of songs now.
