VGBATB's review for Rock Band: Unplugged (PSP)
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 must play all four instruments, the left and right triggers are used to switch tracks. Add in the "X" button for Overdrive, and you've got the controls nailed! Sadly, however, no multiplayer mode of any sort was included. In the end, however, the pros outweigh the benefits: the fully-fledged Tour mode, the flawless sound quality, and the surprisingly fun gameplay combine together to create the first must-buy on PSP in over a year. This is more proof that 2009 is the year to own a PSP!

When this game was first announced, I was think this was going to be the hardest game in the entire series. I thought that the fact you played ALL four instruments would make it ludicrously hard. I was shocked, it's the easiest (in my opinion) and the best (in my opinion)!
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…
