What’s up everyone? This is Ryan with www.uniqueapps.com I’ve got an application review for you today the application is Rockband by EA. Now I wasn’t actually planning on reviewing this game because I’m not much of a Rockband player myself but I’ve got so many messages to do this review and I’m got to go ahead and do it right now. So there is a logo right there go ahead and click it.
Excellent graphic first of and you would not expect anything less by EA but very cool game playing it. Actually plays a lot like its big brother from most game counsels. So here is the main menu here is we have seven different options here I’m actually going to turn off the sound for a second while I’ll cover these options.
We have quick play, world tour, multi-player, music store, more EA games, messages and extras. I’m just got to go through this real quick or I’ll show you quick playing the second but the world tour is basically where you play the campaign, you play the world tour mode to where you get different achievements. You lock different things you see we have a solo tour right here you can actually play online with your friends that has multi player claims the fame these are the awards you can win. We have leader boards tell a friend and that’s it in the world tour.
Go back to the main menu here we have now multi player too you can use Bluetooth and play multi player I don’t have anybody here that I can play with. But it is kind of a cool feature that Rockband has. We also have the music store which you can purchase different more apps or you can upgrade not upgrade but you can buy different songs to play, there is not a very full featured song list on here and I’m going to show you that in a second. We have more EA games messages this is very interesting feature actually EA has added facebook connect in here and I’m not going to connect to facebook right now but I click yes and you can actually connect to facebook and you can share messages and different achievements with your friends.
I’m not going to sign for that now we have extras and I will show you the extras really quickly. We have iTunes store which basically links the iTunes store claims the fame there is all your different achievements in the game different options game options help about and credits.
Now what I’m going to do now is I’m actually going to quick play and I want to show you the four different options the guitar the base the drums and the vocals and how the game is played. So I’m going to turn the music back on so you can hear this. And I’m going to click on play now. Here is a list of songs I think there might even be less than 10 songs I think we have two, we have all I’ll read them all of them right now. We have Hanging on the Telephone by Brawdy Simpleman by Lynyrd Skynyrd, All the small things, Blink182, Attack, 30seconds to Mars, Bad on the Bone, we got Take the Money and Run, we got The Beat, Move Along, Hand 43, Bad Reputation, Learn to Fly, Everlong, Give it all, Ace of Spades and To Rob Rock. Those are actually all the games I see there’s one, two, let go back a bit quick. I just want to count the songs for you. Fifteen songs so there is more than I thought but it is not a very extensive list of songs maybe they will be updating anymore songs but like I said you can actually buy other songs in the extras or in the music store here you can buy the songs for $00.99.
So let do a quick play and show you how the game is played now I’m just going to select let’s do All the small things by Blink182 now bear with me I’m not the best Rockband player and I admit that right from right of the bat so bear with me I’m going to select I’m just through a set of list right here we will start of with base and let’s do medium now I’m not going to play all the song full through I just want to show you how each one is played mainly. But hear the song start out four colors just like the main Rockband.
And just like the other Rockband, if you actually type the wrong note it will not play the base line like right now I’m on base so let me start tapping other notes just so you can hear. And there is actually my meter here that is actually going out so just like the other games if you do enough small notes, or enough bad notes your game will actually end and I will show you that really quick.
And it shows song failed I can retry the tie and go to a new song, I’m actually just going to a new song and I’m going to show you how the guitar is played. So I’ll just select the same song, and I’m going to click guitar and let’s try medium like I said I’m not the best Rockband player so I admit that right of the bat. And here we have started of the favorite now and we have the lead guitar.
So and actually Rockband on the iPhone seems a lot easier than Rockband on Xbox I think I played it because medium does not seem that hard neither its hard on this game but still the graphics are great and I’ll show you still have the overdrive mode in it. You see the meter at the bottom there it is showing once you get to the, this gets all the way across you can use the overdrive by tilting your iPhone in using their accelerometer which I’m going to do right now. There is where the overdrive mode so I’m going to get out of that and show you how to use the drums.
Go back to Blink182 now I’m going to select drums and actually drums is a harder for me on this it seems a lot harder than the other edge from it. Try it here on medium; we have the four colors again just like the other ones but now it’s laid out like the drums. When we try to play this, I’m not a, but just like the other edge if you hit the wrong note, it will actually sound like a drum stick.
Well that is enough embarrassment on the drums so let me show the vocals here. And actually kind of funny because I did play drums growing up obviously I can’t play drums on Rockband but I did play drums a lot growing up.
Anyway, the last instrument here which is not really an instrument but it is vocals and you don’t really actually sing into a microphone or anything you actually just tap and I’ll show you how that is played. We will go ahead and do medium again. And here’s your main button right now I’m just actually tap on a Beat when there is no vocals and you have to tap it. And whenever the vocals show it will actually show well you’ll see it I’ll quit talking and try to play here.
Now just like the other instruments, if you select something else, the vocals won’t play. And I have an overdrive right there. And it goes back to the base.
That is pretty much it for Rockband obviously great graphics, very cool, very full featured application there is a lot to do with all those songs there is not a very extensive list of songs just fifteen songs total but you can play every single one remains on easy medium or hard so there is a lot of variations you can do with this app if you’re into Rockband I definitely recommend it to $10.00 application one of the more expensive applications but here in the Rockband I think it is probably a no brainer freeze.
So that’s my review of Rockband. Hope you enjoyed this video and I hope you all have a great day.
