Rock Band: Unplugged is the first entry in the series on the PSP, and it is one of the best games to ever grace the system's presence. Featuring a total of 41 songs, a robust Tour mode, two exclusive game modes, the same in-depth character creator from RB2, and the option for purchasing DLC, RBU has most of the workings of a home console game. However, the gameplay takes a while to get used to. Replacing the peripheral experience are the left, up, triangle, and circle buttons. And, since you…
One of the reasons is the simplicity. On Tour, which was said to be a Guitar Hero on the go, was hard to control, needs the added peripheral and now can't be played on the DSi.
Unplugged gets past this by only using the PSP's buttons. Basically, you switch between each instrument during a song, and each instrument is played in 'phrases'.
These phrases are basically like the overdrive notes, only these you HAVE to hit to keep the song going well. Miss one note and you have to play a different phrase. Though I said it was the easiest, that doesn't mean it's a piece of cake, it's still fairly hard.
Next is the soundtrack. One word; outstanding.
The amount of awesome artists on there are awesome. I mean, System of a Down, Judas Priest, Lit, The Offspring, Boston.
The songs avalible to get old after a while. Well, some of them. Painkiller is very difficult, or the Through the Fire and Flames of the soundtrack, whereas My Own Worst Enemy and What's My Age Again? never get old to listen to.
If you do get bored, there is DLC! With the free Still Alive and each song being 99p, it's like having a playable iTunes store!
All in all, Rock Band Unplugged is legendary. A concept I thought would fall apart has turned itself around to become one of the most awesome games on the PSP. What is it with Backbone and me?
Sonic Rivals 1 and 2, now this.
They're on a roll.
Oh yeah, and I reccommend this game greatly.
