3 Things That Rock about Rock Band on the iPhone
October 23rd, 2009
Just got Rock Band on the iPhone and took it for a spin.
Here is my first impression from the first (Lynard Skynard) song I played.
1. Great job translating the experience to the iPhone format. It’s all about the details: For example, when you hit a note the “breaking glass” look on each (fret) looks tight. Very nice detail. The subtle fade on the division between the image and the guitar neck is always a nice subtle detail. Makes the scene feel like a “memory”.
2. It eases you in very well. Starts nice and slow so that you get used to it and then as the song crescendos it gets faster. By then you already have the hang of it and can jam a lot better. Great for first time players who have not played the console.
3. Finally, the detail that I digged the most… I wondered if you can shake the phone as the “whammy bar”… yep you can! I just tried it and the phone vibrated it! I think. I could have been tripping. But regardless that was rad. I actually got a crowd gather around me here in the office.
For sure felt like a rock star… thumb star that is…
From first impressions the only negatives that I saw are more issues with my thumbs. They are pretty fat. So I tripped over them a bit. But I am sure I can get used to it with some practice. As my music teacher always said “practice.. practice…practice…”.
Which I didn’t do. That is whey I am not a concert violinist.
Bottom line, if you like Rock Band on the Xbox 360 or PS3 and you want a game with great replay value (on the bus, waiting for your lady to try out clothes at macy’s, DMV lines _____________ Fill in the blank) this might be a good $9.99 investment. Worst case show off to your office mates for 5 minutes at lunch.
