Rock Band 2007

Is it still worth playing?

Harmonix's 2007 rhythm game, the first Rock Band, released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in November 2007, on PlayStation 2 in December and on Wii in 2008. It was conceived for several instruments at once. Controllers modeled on guitar, bass and drums play scrolling notes in time with the music, alongside a microphone for vocals. Up to three tracks of vertically scrolling colored notes show lead guitar, drums and bass, their colors matching the buttons on the controllers. On the microphone, singers follow the original vocals in relative pitch, with an indicator showing how accurate they are. A whole band on screen and in the room still makes each song something played together today.
