It looks fun. It is 45 songs for $60, so if nothing else, it is a bargain when compared to buying all the songs for DLC, not that I would necessarily buy every song on the disc. I am kind of annoyed because the set list could be longer, but Harmonix and Activision are both intent on providing the fewest songs possible on a disc and milking us for DLC money as long as possible.
Really? Which games are they ripping off of for Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Batman and Lego Star Wars? Near as I can tell, everyone of those games played much differently from any game from the series they were based off of.Jzolr0708 said:

But yeah, guy above made a great point, that is an awesome deal.... expecially if you like the Art and Entertainment channel on your shirt.... actually that's American Eagle but I like to seem less retarded.
While I agree that I am a bigger fan of the Rock Band 2 soundtrack, I will hazard to point out that Bon Jovi and Foo Fighters are both on Lego Rockband, as well as having Bowie, Iggy Pop, Elton John, Queen, and Hendrix so the soundtrack is not terrible. It is like how most of these games work, a little good and a little bad so that everyone is happy.imahobbit4062 said:
Not to derail the thread, but Old Navy does have some nice threads. Most things don't have a logo and they have lots of old-man-argyle-print.DrunkWithPower said:
Hey, my Grandfather has fantastic taste in clothes.
Anyway though, it's on thanksgiving itself and not black friday I think, but I might be wrong. Either way, 20 bucks is a fair price.
Lego games are made for kiddies who's parents are over protective, let it be, I wouldn't mind a Lego MW2 for the hell of it. XD
Ok first of all, with all due respect, how can anyone call Rock Band a hardcore title with a straight face? It's essentially a glorified mini-game with "casual gamer" written all over it. Not saying it's bad or anything, don't personally see the attraction, but whatever.
As for the Lego thing, it's a cheap-ass toy tie-in. I already stated I don't get the whole Rock Band thing, making it out of Lego makes even less sense. But I don't get any of the Lego video games.

Pretty strongly disagree there man. I can only speak for Lego Star Wars but that's a fantastic game.IWrestledABearOnce.. said:
I don't listen to much Foo Fighters of Bon Jovi, but I've liked the songs from both artists that have appeared in previous Rock Band games, so off of pedigree alone they are a factor in me buying the game. I just wish I hadn't invested initially in Wii instruments. It would be great to have all of these songs on one massive game as opposed to on three separate discs (well two since I refuse to buy Rock Band 1 on the Wii with it being the biggest rip off I have seen in a while).imahobbit4062 said:
Well you've listed less than half the set list of Rock Band 1 as being good (and at least 1 song that wasn't even on that set list), and yet only 6 bad songs from Lego Rock Band.imahobbit4062 said:
So that still very much suggests that Lego Rock Band is the better one of the two.
Maybe you should go on to Rock Band 2, you might have better luck there.
I prefer the songs.imahobbit4062 said:
But the reason why your claim still results in Lego Rock Band being better is because you've given less than half the Rock Band 1 songs as being good yet only 6 Lego songs being bad.
Therefore, more than half the Rock Band 1 songs are bad and every one but 6 of the Lego songs are good.
To which I respond by saying that "casual game" is by no means synonymous "easy" or "unchallenging". And I'd also like to remind you that I never said that Rock Band was a bad game, I was just saying I don't see how it could be called a hardcore game. And while we're on the subject, the term "casual game" isn't a derogatory term, or at least I didn't intend it as such; if you took it that way, then that's YOUR problem.imahobbit4062 said:
Ok, fine. I'll be the one who is FOR Lego Rock Band because I actually PLAYED it.
First off, maybe not worth $60. But at Old Navy they are going to give it away with a $20 purchase.
Short review: It's a fuckin' fun game. Just like every Rock Band game is. Some shit songs, some great songs....again, like every Rock Band game. It's worth playing because of the imagination that went into the game. It's not a quick cash-in. The game literally lets you live in the hyperbolic world of rock.
Want to tear down a building with the power of rock? Fucking hell yes!
Want to rock out in outer space because the Earth can't hold all your rock? YES!
Want to use the power of rock to save lives? YESSS!!!!!!!
The nods to classic rock folk-lore is there too and the story is very very interesting to say the least.
It's not much of a review, but go out and rent it. You'll end up waiting in line at Old Navy on Friday. Maybe you'll even be at my local Old Navy.
Bring your sister.

I was more of a guitar hero fan,But that isn't the point of this thread.SantoUno said:
The point is,That Lego has ripped of major franshises to make a quick buck.Oneday there is going to be a lego game based off of a Quality thing that will drive people over the edge.TV shows are one of those things that can be cartoony,and videogames barely makes the line.One day they may make something like Lego CSI,or Lego Halo(UNLIKELY,DON'T SCREAM OVER IT,ITS AN EXAMPLE) and make something popular look like something That disney beat with their cuddly sticks and got raped by 4Kids.
People like certain things and it hurtas them when its made fun of,and Lego is doing something like that.
Lol, it took you this long to work out what I was saying and you're wondering about my skull?imahobbit4062 said:
Anyway, now that's over, I make my main point:
Musical taste is purely subjective. I like what I like. Who are you to tell me that the songs I like are bad and that I'm not allowed to prefer the set list of one game over another?
They wouldn't allow it, at least I don't think it would.KiruCookie said:
In all seriousness there is only so far that Lego can go, I can deem it impossible that they can snatch any popular franchises because they would never give permission for such a thing.
