It's a new RAWK every day: Lego Rock Band
Monday, October 5th, 2009 - 1:10pm
Okay, seriously: If you can buy existing Rock Band tracks for this one, then I know what version I'm getting.
If they don't include a Lego guitar, they're fools, I tell you. Fools!

Lego Iggy Pop and Lego Bowie. I must say, that's both awesome and hilarious.

We bought RB: Beatles a few weeks ago specifically so we'd have the instruments for RB: Legos when it comes out.
Between the Legos and the ability to bang on the drums and screech into the microphone I don't think I'm ever going to get my Xbox back from my kids again.

I played it at PAX and here's what I said in the GH5 thread:

Full set list released:
Looks like you can't borrow your friend's Lego Rock band to transfer to Rock Band 2 like you could with RB1.
All in all, I am REALLY digging the song list.

The only way I'll get a new Rock Band is if all of my existing songs (RB1, RB2, downloaded) will carry over. I don't want stand-alone discs for anything. Rock Band has built a platform and anything that strays from it is pointless to me, which is why I won't be picking up Beatles Rock Band.
That is a pretty sweet set list though.

I've got a feeling this one is aimed more at the Don't-Have-Rock-Band-Yet-But-Do-Have-Kids crowd than it is at the hard core Rock Band crowd though.

If you read the quote, it says that you can port Lego Rock Band songs to Rock Band 2.

I wish it was the other way around. I want to play all the rb, rb2, and dlc songs as lego dudes.

I know this is exactly what they were after by doing this, but I am somewhat pissed about that-- I did the old "borrow" RB1 maneuver back when RB2 hit, and I'd love to do this again. Alas. I wonder if the first person to rent the game from Blockbuster or wherever will have access to the code?
EDIT: will these be made available as DLC for others with RB/RB2? I would love many of those songs, but no way I'm paying $59 + $8 to transfer.

This version and TB:RB will definitely be the ones I get when I have money.

Well I guess you can play existing DLC in Lego RB so long as the songs are "family friendly". Also the game costs $50 and it's $10 to port the songs to your hard drive.

So you have to pay for the game and pay to export to RB2? Ugh. If they are tying it to your copy of Lego Rock Band, at least let you port over for free.
I'm continually getting less and less enthusiastic about all these band games. I appreciate they want and need to make money but it feels like we just get screwed over.

While I'm saddened by the need for a Unique Identifier to pay for the transfer, I understand it. I seem to recall that everyone was so surprised that anyone could use a Rock Band 1 disc (plus fee) to get almost all of those songs, and it seems like our first impression (that it was too good to be true) was mostly correct. This is the path they took with the AC/DC track pack, so I can only assume this will be the way forward. Given the first-time code, I am a little surprised by the fact that the transfer fee is double what it was for Rock Band 1, but at the same time, the transfer feature was the biggest question I had about even picking up this game, so I will wind up paying it, but I won't be happy about how much it is.

I just picked this game up, and I don't know what it is about this variation on the formula, but it's just flat out fun! I was having a hard time keeping up with the relatively simple guitar in "Free Fallin' " because my 6 year old son, while on the 'Super Easy' difficulty settings, decided to start belting out his best Tom Petty impersonation. Just for that little thing, it was worth the price of admission. That, and the fact that he can now bang away on the drums without having to worry about the kick pedal is very welcome. There's just a playful vibe throughout the game that wasn't present in the previous iterations, and that by itself goes a long way as to blowing some fresh air into the series. It's a small thing that somehow manages to change the dynamics of the game.
The menu system is a little strange when you're navigating the story mode, but aside from that, everything else is extremely straight forward. I was quite happy that Rock Band 1 content and all the DLC I had bought showed up no problem within the game. I don't think you can get the Rock Band 2 content to show up in Lego Rock Band, but exporting the Lego RB songs to RB2 isn't a problem (once you pay a small fee due to licensing fee, as Atras mentioned).

so *IS* there some unique code you have to enter to import the tracks?

My game box came with the code inside of it, so yes.

Still having a total blast with this game!
Yesterday, I realized something else that makes me happy I bought Lego Rock Band. Since Harmonix essentially established Rock Band as a platform thanks to the steady stream of DLC, it has become less and less likely that I would buy DLC tracks which I'm unfamiliar with. Buying an actual disc full of songs has actually contributed to me discovering tracks I might not have otherwise, like the Hives' excellent "Tick Tick Boom" or Supergrass' "Grace". I probably would've never downloaded those songs, but having to play through them made me realize that those songs were pretty good, and it had been a while since Rock Band fostered that sense of discovery with new music.

dhaelis, how old is your son? I'm interested in LRB for my 6 year old. He likes watching me play Rock Band/GH but has trouble on easy mode.

My son is 6 years old as well. He tried the drums for a bit on the super easy mode, but he's way more interested in crooning lately. Hearing him go all Freddy Mercury on 'We Will Rock You' might never get old.

I picked this up as a family gift for Christmas. I've discovered I'm old and enjoy 80's rock way more than I thought I ever would. My daughter likes to play drums on "We Will Rock You."
3 year old + super easy mode = win

I really wish I could play the full Rock Band 2 experience with the Lego characters. I'm loving Lego Rock Band, but it's eventually going to get old not being able to play all those songs.
