Rock Band Reloaded on the iPhone and iPad!
Take a look at the brand new app that is currently available in New Zealand, and should soon be available everywhere else. This new version (dare I say, sequel?) to the Rock Band iPhone game comes with 29 songs, and the (optional) vocal recognition mode that was requested in the previous version. You can also use the app in Landscape mode for more precision, because you’ll need it in the new Expert mode! With the included support for retina display, play through 6 cities and 36 events in World Tour mode to capture up to 50 different awards and achievements.
UPDATE: There is ALSO an iPad version, with enhanced graphics!
Some of the songs included are:
- 3 Doors Down – Kryptonite
- Alice in Chains – Your Decision
- Beastie Boys – So What’Cha Want
- Billy Idol – White Wedding
- Drowning Pool – Bodies
- Duran Duran – Hungry Like the Wolf
- Evanescence – Call Me When You’re Sober
- Megadeth – Peace Sells
- NIN – The Perfect Drug
- Nirvana – In Bloom
- No Doubt – Hella Good
- Pat Benatar – Heartbreaker
- Seether – Remedy
- Steve Miller Band – Rockn’ Me
- Vampire Weekend – A-Punk

Interesting. I like that vocals are actually vocals now but I play on an iPod Touch that doesn’t have a mic built-in so that kind of sucks.
I’ll probably still pick it up. The original Rock Band iPhone game was pretty fun.

You can purchase a headset/mic to use on you iPod touch for relatively cheap. It’s worth looking into if you’re interested in vocal gameplay, or non-gaming apps like skype, etc.

I think the Astro a30s that I use as headphones with my iPod might work but I’ve never really had a reason to test them.

Passed over again. Don’t they know Android is outselling iPhone now? The market has spoken. Support the better platform, developers!

Yeah, don’t know why EA has not started selling for Android yet (or at least I can’t find any indication that they do on their website).
Fixed memory issue?
Why the heck would New Zealand get it first?

It’s rolled out on the App Store that way if it’s a worldwide launch. Goes from east to west
will our old dlc work?
Wow I was getting super excited. Then I saw the setlist. Hmmm I may wait a while on this one.

Yeah, and what worries me on the setlist is that they only list 15 of the 29 songs. Makes me think that the other 14 might not be so hot…

Just like how they list every single good song on the back cover for the other games?
Looks like a great app. It would be awesome if they would figure out a way to allow us to import the songs from the original RB app. I liked that setlist better.
kinda cool to see a couple RBN songs on there.

I wonder if the charting groups get anything from this. (Not likely, I concede.)
Any word on price?

$13.99 according to the iTunes page for it.

Gah! Way too much. I’m not expecting a race-to-the-bottom one dollar app, but fifteen dollars would buy me plenty of DLC for the real game.

Those are the New Zealand prices. I’m sure (or hopeful, at least), that the US prices will be closer to $4.99 and $9.99.
Another Rock Band game I won’t buy because they stupidly put the same songs in it that I already play over and over again on the console version.
I would have definitely bought the PSP game if they didn’t do the same.
The audience for these games is people who don’t have rock band but for some reason want a handheld version and people who don’t mind rocking out to old songs they already mastered on the real game.
Great strategery!

I have to agree here. If there were exclusive songs I would get the app, but not to play the same songs that I can play with a real plastic insturment.

I’d be much less happy if they had exclusive tracks for these handheld games. “Why don’t they put those on the console versions where I can have the full experience?!” That sort of idea. It’s more about getting to play Rock Band on the go than it is about getting different songs for me.
make the game harder than the last one, and release more dlc often and I’ll instantly buy!
Great…now we have to buy an iPhone version of RB just to get a decent tour experience and competitive modes. Nice work there HMX.
Not on PSP?
No Keyboards?
No deal.
Touch based music games don’t work because you need BUTTONS to get an instrument based music game to work properly, and the DS can’t handle more than 20 songs and the sound quality suffers. Harmonix, please, you screwed keyboardists over with the failure that is Rock Band 3 (I have to watch my friends have fun while sitting out of about 25% of the games setlist even though they already had 2000 songs with no keyboards, they can’t have the decency to give us keyboardists a full setlist with actual key heavy songs, sorry but tracks like Need You Tonight and Rainbow in the Dark don’t cut it.)
I love how EA called this one of the best game company of all time.

Obvious troll is obvious.
Anyone who hasn’t seen the trailer for Vocal Recognition is missing the most brilliant minute spent advertising vocals EVER.
