Thread: Rock Band 3

I picked this up last week for the ps3 and snagged the keytar accessory and I must say that I couldn't be happier. The keys have quickly become my favourite instrument to play, and that's coming from someone who plays a mean plastic guitar.

My roommate has played piano his entire life, and nearly instantly understood how to play pro keys mode. Admittedly, it did take him a while to map out which line corresponded to which note, once he got it down, there was no stopping him. I can do expert on normal keys mode with relative ease (on most of the songs), but pro mode is another story. Also, it's disorienting at first since I'm accustomed to not having to hold down a note, then let it go, then depress it again in order to play it twice (on guitar you just strum twice, for example).

Also, the revamped career mode is legit. The introduction of spades and additional challeges other than score/stars is very welcome, and the rewards feel well-earned.



What do you guys think? Favourite songs/band performances?

Sounds great. I'm really looking forward to getting the keytar thingo as well but just haven't gotten around to picking it up yet. Got back from an overseas trip yesterday and had a pickup slip for the game. About to play it for the first time shortly!

I hope the process for getting songs and such from the older games isn't too annoying/tedious.

Yeah, it works like this:
Pay $5 to export Rock Band 1 songs unless you already purchased it .
Pay $10 to export Rock Band 2 songs.

So...not too terrible, especially if you can rent the games on the cheap. Either way, nothing like playing a ton of songs in one sitting. :))

I'm going for the endless setlist with about 20 friends this Sunday. Yikes.
