Impulse Gamer - We've played Rock Band on the iPhone which was spectacular and now it's time for iPad users to enjoy one of the best music rhythm franchise to date, Rock Band. At its heart, Rock allowed you to play lead or bass guitar and by matching the colours on screen with the touch screen, it created a note. The more notes you got correct, the higher your score became.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): For the most part, video game publishers know what works and what doesn't on a portable system. Terrible games are a part of life, but it's rare to see a bad fit. At the end of the day, companies know a handheld's limitations.
I love portable games but some of these make sense I think. Rock Band Unplugged? Shakes head...
Yeah...they tried to capitalize on the series' popularity by porting it to every possible system. Such is the industry. :)
Pocket Gamer - Aren't encores a bit of a farce?
You've paid money out to see your favourite band performing in concert – Steps, 911, you know the score - they sing their little hearts out for an hour or two, and then they leave the stage, seemingly at the end of their performance, only to return to the bright lights once you've all stamped your feet and screamed at the top of your lungs for a bit.
AppGamer - The Rockband games have hit virtually every format in their time and the iPhone even got its own version of the game last year. However, EA’s release on to the iOS platform always felt like there was something missing.
