Maybe so, but it's about the same as playing a guitar along with a CD.
ok, I want a set of these!
The expansion option is nice. Especially if they want to compete with GH IV.
Yeah that's the big question, and how limited?
I mean I would be tempted to import one if it was toooo expensive, I just have a limit on how much I will spend it I have no chance of replacing it.
Looking at ION's website they have two models of electronic drums one for $149.99 and one for $199.99 so it really shouldn't be much more than that. I just hope they worked with HMX with their expansion plans so that when they do make separate cymbals and what not that it can be compatible.
Being able to convert to a real e-drum set will be a definite plus.
The PS3 one works as one with the help of a Mac, but the lack of pads/cymbals takes away from that.
Well, I was already planning on getting it, but seeing the kit may push me into actually pre-ordering it.
ok so they are 300 bucks plus shipping, and the 3rd cymbal is extra.
Does this game sound good on a nice surround system? Specifically 5.1 dolby digital, or dts surround?
Oh yes it does, my flatmate has a very nice set up, it's great.
I certainly see what they mean about adding more music video like effects.
84 songs in Rock Band 2 and an export RB1 to RB2 song option.
Wow. AC/DC is confirmed. And the Guns & Roses song is from Chinese Democracy. And some frigging Replacements too.
And they'll be releasing another 20 master tracks for free this fall as DLC!
My only complaint is the actual AC/DC song they chose. Lame. Hopefully, AC/DC will let them use more (better) songs in the future.
Sweet! There's the "Uncontrollable Urge" that I requested!
And Lush? Good, early Lush? What a delightully unexpected surprise.
I'm also happy to see more tracks with female vocalists, since my wife staunchly refuses to be seen playing the plastic guitar.
