LEGO Rock Band details include rock-themed challenges

LEGO Rock Band was officially announced yesterday, and today some extra details have surfaced on Xbox.com - like destroying a giant robot using the power of rock.

No joke.

Here's the lowdown:

• Songs you know and love: Rock out to everything from current radio hits to past favorites the whole family will enjoy.
• LEGO-themed rock challenges: Play killer riffs to destroy a giant robot, summon a storm, and demolish a skyscraper using the power of rock!
• Enhanced customizer: Don't stop with your avatar, customize your whole entourage! Design the band, roadies, and manager just the way you want.
• Build fame LEGO-style: Collect LEGO bricks after each song to build cooler vehicles and move to new venues.
• LEGO rock den: Buy furniture, decorate the walls and customize your band's hang-out as you climb the ladder to rock success.
• Fun for everyone: Turn down the difficulty with an easier skill set option for budding musicians.

Thanks, GoNintendo.
