The strumming of guitars and the crashing of cymbals are the embodiment of Rock Bands. The rhythmic pulses and catchy anthems are literally music to our ears and within Rock Band Reloaded the game, a portion of that wizardry is presented.
Off Your Rocker
Before titles like Rock Band, fans of this genre of music would resort to thrusting their head in a downward motion, their long rock god hair covering their pale complexion and significantly – without being seen in public, as you always looked a complete and utter plonker with your air guitar.
Not all of us have the patience or dexterity to become rock heroes, so instead rhythm based games such as Rock Band have appeared, offering a musical participation that can still entice the adrenaline to surge through your body.
Timely Execution
Musical notes are represented by a simple block on the screen, that when aligned with the bar along the bottom should be enacted upon.
Hitting the appropriate colour at the precise moment it passes the bottom bar ensures a successful contribution. If you time it incorrectly or miss it altogether, the sound fails to play within the music, offering immediate feedback of your failure.
