[PSP] Rock Band Unplugged

Back when Guitar Hero was first announced, I was fairly hopeful that it would be a spiritual successor to Amplitude, which I enjoyed playing the demo of against some of my co-workers while working at Circuit City (all those years ago...). Of course, what resulted not only a better game but a game with wheels. Whereas Amplitude had next-to-nothing in terms of familiar games and artists, Guitar Hero took music licensing to a whole new level and, as we've seen, the rampage has been unstoppable. Had Amplitude featured any of the music that has been in the Guitar Hero or Rock Band games, the landscape would be much different.

That said, I still hold a special place in my heart for Amplitude's gameplay (flipping tracks at manic speed is a good way to drive oneself crazy) and this looks like the spiritual successor I was waiting for back in 2005. I daresay I may want to buy this.

The one thing that puts me off is the idea of buying songs again. If they found some way of you being able to download the tracks you'd already bought in a full release of Rock Band then that'd be top notch.

That would be nice, but I can't imagine that being free or convenient for Xbox 360 owners.

What else would be nice: not being limited to just four instruments. Hello keyboard/piano, sup Elton John and Billy Joel.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, Activision could have done it if they wanted to, but you may be too right about your "money grabbing" comment. They are remaking several old tracks with vocals/drums/bass for Guitar Hero: Smash Hits, so.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

(Never mind, I updated my PSP. My Memory Stick is too small.)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
