Combining authentic rhythm/music gaming experience of iRock Band/i with the accessibility, customization and humor of LEGO games, iLEGO Rock Band/i allows players to create their own unique rock star style and customize their own avatars, band members, roadies, and managers. style type="text/css" .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } /style p/ table align=left width=210 cellpadding=0 height="44" tr td height="44" valign="top"img alt="LEGO Rock Band game logo" title="LEGO Rock Band game logo" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/lego.rb.logo.200.jpg" border=0 align=top width="200" height="44" /td /tr /table bGameplay/bbr/ Action in iLEGO Rock Band/i for DS is true to the iRock Band/i standard of play found in other releases in the franchise, only with a LEGO twist. Your goal is to run through a succession of rock tinged, family friendly song tracks with your band. Bandmates are indicated by four separate avatars representing your guitar player, bass guitarist, drummer and vocalist. The game doesn't need a peripheral like other music games on the DS, instead the player indicates the appropriate rhythm for each bandmate in turn through a combination of the DS' D-Pad, face buttons, mic and eventually its stylus. Players switch between parts using the shoulder buttons. The game also supports 2-4 person multiplayer over a DS multi-card Wi-Fi connection. One of the fun LEGO influences is in the tablature flowing across the screen that directs your play. This is in the form of LEGO blocks color coded for each controller. As with all iRock Band/i games, consistency gains the player multipliers which earns them more points. As players successfully complete songs and rock challenges, they can collect LEGO 'studs,' with which they can customize their avatar and other in-game goodies in true LEGO Snap-On fashion. In addition, players can unlock additional content and collect amazing vehicles, which can be used to transport their band from local gigs at rock clubs to epic stadium shows and even fantasy settings on Earth and beyond. The game contains a variety of play modes including Quickplay and Challenge, which guarantees varied gameplay. p/ bThe Song List/bbr/ iLEGO Rock Band/i for DS/BSI allows players to rock along to both current hits and classic favorites that the whole family will enjoy.
