Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games are joining forces with the LEGO Group, Harmonix and MTV Games to make LEGO Rock Band. I hope you can remember that list of companies - I think we'll use it as inspiration for our next competition question!
The game, which will allow players to "Build a Band and Rock the Universe", and will be released on he Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Wii. There are also plans for a Nintendo DS version.
LEGO Rock Band combines the multiplayer music experience of Rock Band® with the fun, customization and humour of the LEGO videogame franchise packed with brilliant chart-topping songs and classic favourites suitable for younger audiences, including:
Blur: 'Song 2'
Carl Douglas: 'Kung Fu Fighting'
Europe: 'The Final Countdown'
Good Charlotte: 'Boys and Girls'
Pink: 'So What'
The game will feature some crazy LEGO-created venues, and you will be able to 'build' your band with custom minifigures.
Existing Rock Band gamers will be pleased to learn that LEGO Rock Band supports Rock Band instruments, as well as other music game controllers.
"LEGO Rock Band combines two compelling properties and creates an experience that family members of all ages will enjoy playing together as a group," said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. "Harmonix and MTV Games are the world experts in music gameplay, and we're genuinely thrilled to bring the unique and humour-filled LEGO experience to their Rock Band universe."
"We’re thrilled to offer another LEGO branded gaming experience that will deliver humorous and social play for families and friends," said Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, Vice President, the LEGO Group. "LEGO Rock Band is built around the same values of imagination and family-friendly creative role play that is present in other LEGO videogames. It will deliver innovative new elements of game play that complement the fun of the Rock Band experience."
