Rock Revolution - This fall for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo DS.

When Guitar Hero first hit PS2, we thought: "Wow, this is like Konami's GuitarFreaks ... and that's been around since the original PlayStation. Why don't they release it here?" Well, our question was answered at yesterday's Konami Gamer's Night 2008 with the unveiling of Rock Revolution. Taking the "Revolution" suffix naming scheme of its other music genre (bemani) cousins, the game, from SingStar developer Zoë Mode, is set for a fall release on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo DS. We have the first screens of the HD offerings, along with some salient details:

The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will feature:

* 40 songs on the disc, with DLC tracks planned
* Record your own songs in a "Jam Session" (8 separate tracks)
* Online co-op, versus, and battle of the bands modes
* Crazy big drum set with six pads, plus pedal

The Wii version adds the ability to play "air guitar" using the Wiimote and nunchuck; and the DS version includes a "Vocalist" mode using the built-in microphone. Check back later today for our hands-on impressions of Rock Revolution for Xbox 360. FromJoystiq

Sad thing is that more original rhythm games are better in some ways, Gitaroo Man, Parrappa the Rappa, stuff like that are really fun and we need some next gen versions of those rather than 600 different Guitar Hero clones...

Even though Guitar Freaks came out first, it wasn't very popular, so most uninformed people see GH as the godfather of rock games. So, this game will be considered a rip-off, even though it's prequel came out before Guitar Hero.High_Spy

How can it be a rip off? :| If anything, GH copied GuitarFreaks. Look at how similar they are..

Yeah, I agree. I really liked Parapa the rapper during PS1 times, I really wish a next-gen version of the game with some more modes and etc could come out :/
