Lego Rock Band Track List

The full track list for Lego Rock Band was recently revealed — and it’s a doozy!

The game contains 45 songs, all of which can be exported to Rock Band 2 for flat fee of $9.99. I’m pretty sure this is tied to the code inside the manual so there’s only one export per copy of the game.

All American Rejects – Swing

Blink-182 – Aliens Exist
Blur – Song 2
Bon Jovi – You Give Love a Bad Name
Boys like Girls – Thunder
Bryan Adams – Summer of 69

In addition to the fantastic, first-class song export experience (I hope the Guitar Hero series is taking notes), there are some features that are new to the any Rock Band game to date:

  • Any Rock Band DLC that “passes through a content filter” will be available for play in Lego Rock Band, so it’s effectively another front-end for your song library. Awesome!
  • Failing a song does not end play; it only causes the player to lose any “Lego studs” earned during that song. Furthermore, all the lost studs can be regained by playing recovery phrases in the same song.
  • There is a “super easy” mode where only strumming is required, no button presses. This was first introduced in Guitar Hero: World Tour.
  • There is an option to automate the drum kick pedal to make drumming more accessible.
  • Each song can be played in “full” and “short radio edit” versions. I’ve only seen this in karaoke games to date.

Most of these enhancements are to make the game more accessible to kids — but I think they’d be a good addition to all future Rock Band games, too. Even the achievements list for Lego Rock Band are kinder and gentler as well.

We saw a preview of this newfound focus on accessibility in The Beatles: Rock Band, where selecting easy automatically turns on no-fail mode. As far as I’m concerned, more accessibility is never a bad thing; us hardcore folks who like to play on hard and expert can continue to do our thing, and those who are new to the genre can have a more gentle introduction than having a giant SONG FAILED blasted in their face.

Lego Rock Band will be available for Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 sometime between November 3rd and November 10th. Personally, I can’t wait!

KoRn!, Legos, in Rock Band! I’m so happy KoRn is finally in Rock Band, but how exactly are they kid friendly?

Where does it say “content-appropriate” DLC will work in Lego Rock Band? Not doubting you, I just haven’t heard that anywhere else yet. That’s awesome! Little Lego guys singing Blondie or the B-52s? Heck yeah!

Mayday since the Foreigner pack came out HMX have been imbedding ratings into the DLC, 1 for all, 2 for T, etc. LRB will play any DLC that has a rating of 1.

There’s one really difficult (for most people) achievement though, getting 100% on Expert in the solo for Europe’s The Final Countdown.

The Korn song is a cover of theirs, of Cameo’s Word Up! from 1986.

Can you use multiple microphones for multiple vocalists in Lego Rock Band on PS3?

I have two singstar mics and a Beatles Rock Band mic.
