Obviously, you haven't heard much Queen. Brian May is the guitar god's guitar god. The man was a monster. He built his guitar from scratch with his bare hands because no other guitar that already existed could possibly channel his ferocity adequately.

Besides, to diss Queen as a band worthy of the Rock Star treatment and then suggest Killswitch Engage? What are you, eleven? That's like walking up to the Rental counter at Hertz, and saying, "That Mercedes you rented me is lame. Don't you have any REAL cars back there? What can you show me in, say, an Escort?"

...Wait, you're dissing Queen, but at the same time, asking for a Guitar Hero game based around KSE?
Killswitch was a bad example. What I asked for is a guitar hero/rock band game with metal songs.

I heard in this months issue of OPM that a Red Hot Chili Peppers GH is in the works.
I really don't know which to believe but I really don't care as both would be awesome and those are two of the only bads that I would really wanna play in guitar hero fashion. Some bands just don't suit it but Queen most certainly do.

Well, if you want to get technical, there was The eYe, way back in 1998. It was a horrible, HORRIBLE game released in one or two countries. The only redeeming factor was the game discs could be popped in your CD player for instrumental versions of their songs (even obscure ones like "Dragon Attack").

Thanks for that. He used 'wimpy' and 'Queen' in the same sentence. Someone had to put him in his place.

Wow.

It was terrible huh? That's too bad because it sounds intriguing. It has kind of a Running Man/Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome/Killroy was Here vibe going for it.

It was a real disappointment. When it was announced, I was beyond ecstatic. Two of my favorite things -- Queen and video games -- together at last! But unlike Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, the game left a horrible taste in my mouth.

The gameplay was below average, and you really only knew what was going on because of what the box said. Seriously, there was very little dialogue, no clear sense of what was going on, no direction, etc. I played through it three times, completely in denial that my favorite band lent its name and music to a rotten game.

Oh well. The afore-mentioned music made up for it, and it's something of a unique piece of memorabilia.

Keep a hold of it.

And in about 50 years I'll watch Antiques Roadshow looking for the person with a copy of The eYe who has to sit patiently through an antique video game evaluator tell him how rare this piece of history is. Then the estimated worth flashes on the screen and we'll all wish we went out and bought this game. ;)

About time!

I hope they do this one right, a good and proper tribute to Queen, the way Rock Band did with Beatles. If I see a Blink-182 track on there I'm gonna loose my goddamn mind!

I can't wait to sing the opera part of "Bohemian Rhapsody," myself. It better have harmony support.
Rock Band 3 is confirmed to have Bohemian Rhapsody with both harmonies and keyboard support.
It even goes as far as adding a pro mode, where you can play the keyboard just as the piano would have been in the actual song.

Wait, aren't the people with the Rock Band and the Beatles tracks coming out with a keyboard thingy? I kind of wish they would have gotten the rights to this.

Actually I think that Guitar Hero has the better deal. Metallica, Aerosmith, Van Halen, and now Queen? Those bands dominate the Beetles and Green Day. Can't wait to play "Don't Stop Me Know"
