Rock Band on the Wii – Finally!!!

So Rock Band has finally been released for the great Nintendo Wii. But with the Wii lacking the graphical ability of the PS3 and Xbox360 is the game going to be able to compete?

In my opinion, the PS2 and Wii versions are more comparable than to try and compare the Nintendo Wii with a PS3 or Xbox360.

Graphics:

Obviously, the Wii isn’t known for it’s amazing Graphics, it is al about the fun-ness and playability. The graphics are OK on this particular release though as it is not a graphic-intensive release. However, the one video of the band in the background gets tiresome, and the fun of being able to see your own amusing personalised characters was great fun on 360 and PS3 however this feature is not included.

Online:

This is the major downside to the Wii’s release of Rock Band, there is no Online play at all. Which sucks.

Features:

It does ave many features in common with the releases on the other platforms however it lacks most of the customization options which made the 360 and PS3 releases fun. However, it still let’s you and 3 friends create a band and rock-out,which is the whole point in this game, right?

Game Components:

The box includes: A microphone, Guitar, and Drum Kit. (A second Guitar is available for Bass Riff’s etc. at an extra cost). These are all connected through a USB hub which is included that plugs into the Wii’s USB slot. The Drum set is now White on the Wii release and the “skins” feel bouncier and more responsive. All the Hardware feel great and is very similar to the other releases of the game’s hardware.

Music and Soundtrack:

Rock Band’s tracklist features a great mix of songs that includes classic rock, punk, ’80s rock, alternative, and modern rock. Extra tracks are not available for download like on the Xbox and PS3 releases. However, you can purchase a CD that has 20 bonus tracks on that were available for download on the other platforms. Most of the songs are performed by the original artists, though there are a few covers. There’s music from the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, KISS, Bon Jovi, R.E.M., The Who, Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots, Radiohead, Beastie Boys, Soundgarden, and many more. There are a total of 63 songs, 5 more than in previous releases. The five new songs are:
The Police – Roxanne
The B-52’s – Roam
All-American Rejects – Dirty Little Secret
Oasis’ – Don’t Look Back in Anger (One of my personal favorites!)
The Ramones – Rockaway Beach

Summary:

Thanks to do stripped down feature lists, and the lack of online gaming. (Not to mention the 7 month delay behind the Xbox and PS3) The Nintendo Wii release of Rock Band is not the best on the market. However, this doesn’t mean it isn’t a great, fun, playable game, because it really is. Whether there is just you or half of your town round, you can have great fun rocking-out to a really good music list.

My Rating:

7/10

Amazon.com Review Sloppy in conception, and even sometimes in the playing, Let It Be often gets a bad rap. Unfairly, as it’s often as charming, well written, and (oh yeah) rocking as the Beatles’ “better” albums; it’s also more outright fun than Abbey Road, the masterpiece it followed into the sto…
