If you loved Guitar Hero by Harmonix, you may get the opportunity to rock out in a full quartet by Christmas…
Having cranked up the volume to 11 and wowed rock fans with Guitar Hero, Harmonix is planning to take the virtual videogame group genre a step further with its latest release, Rock Band.
The game, revealed earlier by USA Today, sees developer Harmonix, along with its owner MTV, teaming up with Electronic Arts to offer budding musicians the chance to create their own rock group. We’re talking the shebang too, because the game will support four instrument controllers including lead guitar, bass, drums and a microphone for the lead singer.
Scheduled for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 this Christmas, Rock Band promises a wealth of online features, including the chance to team up with musicians in other countries and the ability to download songs.
Needless to say, I now know what I want for Christmas. Depending on how they package this, it could be pretty freaking cool…
