Have you seen how popular the music genre is? Activison and EA are milking it for all it's worth with Guitar Hero and Rock Band and now other companies are jumping in. Disney did well with Ultimate band on the Wii and DS and now it's time for Konami to have a go. This should be great considering their history in the genre.



Sadly this game seems like the game should be released in 2004 but someone got all the copies and shoved them in a time capsule and Konami have only picked it up now. The presentation is poor. The notes appear in 2D like the DDR games. It seems cheap considering how great Rock Band and Guitar Hero's scaling notes.



There's over 40 songs in the game and they are all poor covers. Covers can be ok if done well, I never noticed they were covers in Elite Beat Agents on the DS, but these scream drunk man at a karaoke or X Factor rejects.



I delayed reviewing this game for a few days so I could experiance it online. Shame that no one's on it.



There's a track creator but it's pointless. You can't play them or share them online like in Guitar Hero: World Tour, all you can do is listen to them again. It's pointless.



No guitars come with the game so you'll have to use a compatible product, such as the Rock Band or Guitar Hero guitar. I'd pick the Guitar Hero one. Rock Revolution will have it's own drums coming soon but to be honest, I hate them. The postioning of the six pads feels wrong. They are also outrageuosly loud and drown out the music. Maybe that's a good thing.



Rock Revolution is a total waste of money. The drums drown out the horrible covers, the track creator is pointless and badly done and the drums are badly made. Avoid



Verdict
