Instead, your created band is more like your profile for the game, and everything you do adds to the band's legacy. Gone are the separate World Tour and Challenge modes from prior games. Outside of those two additions, there are also a lot of nice refinements to the main game. Replacing the strum bar with separate strings alleviates fatigue, so long sessions are much more comfortable, and feel closer to playing a real guitar than the older instruments. The instant feedback of where your fingers are and the correspondence with the track on screen makes it easy to follow, yet the difference with regular guitar is great enough that it's a new challenge, and you'll find yourself learning to play all over again from the easiest songs. The interface for Pro Guitar is terrific, with an on-screen overlay showing you what buttons are pressed down and by how much, negating the need to look down at the instrument to see if you're in the right place. For the first time in a rhythm game, you can legitimately learn how to play a real-life instrument, which is very cool.Īdding even more complexity than Pro Keyboards is the Pro Guitar mode, where the Fender Mustang Pro Guitar has a button for every string at every fret. There is a full-fledged tutorial that goes over numerous lessons for each instrument.
While I wasn't able to fully test all of Pro Mode, I am impressed by how it works for the keyboards and guitar. Still, the ones that do feature the keyboards are excellent. Unfortunately, not every song features constant keyboard parts, making some of those songs pretty boring on the instrument. The keyboards, which are playable in 63 of the game's 83 songs, are a lot of fun to play in the regular mode and Pro Mode. The core of the new additions is the keyboard controller and Pro Mode. Rather, it achieves that title by refining the idea of the Rock Band and Guitar Hero games into a sweet, wonderfully designed package. It doesn't earn that title by reinventing the entire genre, or changing the core mechanics. Rock Band 3 is the next evolution of rhythm gaming.
