Lego Rock Band
Lego Rock Band is all about building up that rock and roll fame LEGO style. It's a music video game and part of the Rock Band series that incorporates elements from other Lego video games. The game, as with other games in the Rock Band series, allows up to four players to use instrument controllers to play lead and bass guitar, drums, and vocals on a number of rock music songs. Players are able to customize their avatars and other band assistants, and include additional Lego-themed gameplay modes (LEGO® Themed Rock Challenges: Play killer riffs to destroy a giant robot, summon a storm to demolish a skyscraper using the power of rock).
