Rock Band 3: London viewing shows new instruments and features
Rock Band was a phenomenal success when it launched in 2007, and with good reason. It was the first game of its type to throw a whole group of people together as a band, allowing them “play” their favourite songs in the same room, something which couldn’t have been done previously without lots of expensive instruments and a complaints from the neighbours. We’re now about to arrive at Rock Band 3 – a game which has not only evolved from the original, but improved beyond all recognition.
We took a look at the latest build with the developers in London yesterday.
