"If you've worried about your youngsters being exposed to the evils of rock music, worry no longer: LEGO Rock Band is coming this holiday season on PS3, 360, Wii and DS to deliver us all from said evil. The game, currently being developed by TT Games and Harmonix, will use all the existing Rock Band/Guitar Hero peripherals. The family-focused version of the game will allow you to customize your "minifigure avatars" along with your road crew and managers. The kid-friendly song list hasn't been fully disclosed, but we know it'll include: * Blur: "Song 2" * Carl Douglas: "Kung Fu Fighting" * Europe: "The Final Countdown" * Good Charlotte: "Boys and Girls" * Pink: "So What" So, LEGOs or Beatles, who's getting your Rock Band dollar this year?"

I think they've gone too far.

i'm calling for a moratorium on all music games henceforth.

"Blur: "Song 2""

this seems terribly stupid, but will probably sell a lot

Europe: "The Final Countdown"

designing Lego rock stars = AWESOME!

i dig the chest hair on the singer above, hahaha

4/22/2009 9:55:11 AM

will buy (as long as soundtrack is exportable to RB2, or vice versa)

4/22/2009 10:52:00 AM

haha

4/22/2009 12:12:50 PM

That's pretty fucked up

4/22/2009 12:25:12 PM

Im not sure if this will be a big hit or an epic fail.

4/22/2009 12:59:05 PM

i didn't know people paid attention to the graphics on these games. i just play the tunes. if it has good songs, who cares if they are legos, regular people or freaking sasquatch?


but you can customize your own rockers. that's pretty neat.

What would be truly funny is if Lego is also able to include characters from their other toy licenses. Lego Rock Band Batman/Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Spongebob would be all kinds of both silly and awesome.

4/22/2009 1:20:46 PM

I'm done with music games for a while

4/22/2009 10:00:20 PM

BLASPHEMY!!!!

4/22/2009 10:11:56 PM

this would be epic.
seemingly.


also, VERY glad they added "Don't Stop Believing'" by Journey.

4/22/2009 11:35:27 PM

Wow. The only way they could milk these franchises - both have which have become prefixes effectively meaning "toy version of" - any more than they are in this would be to make "Lego Rock Band The Movie - The Game."

4/23/2009 12:09:33 AM

that would be awesome if they came out with a lego guitar or something

4/23/2009 8:12:10 AM

Oh, I'm sure they'll have an edition out there packaged with instruments with that lego look.

lol, yeah b/c you can't do that right now with any of the other versions



Oh wait you can

*except for PS2, Wii.

4/23/2009 1:52:14 PM

lol, oops. i've only played it on wii.

i'm dumb.

4/23/2009 2:48:41 PM

I think it'd be a nice (and probably obvious) touch to change the shape of the color bars on the track into Lego bricks.
