Rock Band 4

Probably the best Rock Band from a gameplay perspective, and definitely the one I turn to most when I just want to play my favorite songs and not have to worry about the calibration, but lacks the varied stages and essential feeling of both being free to do whatever you want while still feeling like you're progressing that made 2 so memorable. Customization also pales in comparison to 1 and 2, and the song list is one of the weakest in the series, although it does feature a few standouts.

Well made but too much prompting for online play.

I generally really like Rock Band, but there are two problems here. 1. What is this song list? 2. I thought the benefit of console games was that standardized hardware meant you could release a PS4 game that actually runs on the PS4.

Not going to totally trash this game, but it is a game for casuals. It's mainly Karaoke but now in a video game form. So basically you listen to songs and play with a guitar, drums or microphone. Usually you play this with a guitar. Notes come down the screen and when they get into your little stars on screen you press the respective color button on your guitar. Again this is targeted for casuals.

It has one of the weaker set lists when compared to all the other Rock Band on disc songs, but the fact than you can add all previous versions into the game, makes this one the best in the series to date. The Rivals aspect of the game keeps me coming back each week, trying to get that #1 position. The free Rivals songs aren't so good (huge exception is Shadow by Bearstronaut....that song bangs!) but hey, can't really complain about free stuff.
