Where exactly is the button on the GH controller? Ideally I would like a button within reach of the thumb. Using Select causes me to occasionally miss a note, meaning overdrive goes from 8X (12X on bass) to 2X.
.
No, my left hand lacks a large amount of dexterity, so I can't use it fast enough. Despite being right handed I have to use lefty mode just to play at all, and then I am unable to strum fast enough to 100% medium on some of the extremely fast and repetive songs, like Molly Hatchet or most metal songs.
My only real hurdles are getting through "Shoulder to the Plow" at all, and keeping composure during "Visions" which is not really that hard, but just not fun to play.
I am kind of torn here. I thought it would be a fun gimmick, but now that it is real I am unsure.Lego Rock Band real, coming Holiday 2009

If you've worried about your youngsters being exposed to the evils of rock music, worry no longer: LEGO Rock Band is coming this holiday season on PS3, 360, Wii and DS to deliver us all from said evil. The game, currently being developed by TT Games and Harmonix, will use all the existing Rock Band/Guitar Hero peripherals.
The family-focused version of the game will allow you to customize your "minifigure avatars" along with your road crew and managers. The kid-friendly song list hasn't been fully disclosed, but we know it'll include:
So, LEGOs or Beatles, who's getting your Rock Band dollar this year?
- Blur: "Song 2"
- Carl Douglas: "Kung Fu Fighting"
- Europe: "The Final Countdown"
- Good Charlotte: "Boys and Girls"
- Pink: "So What"
If I had to guess I would say that you can export them. If so then buying a full game, assuming a 60+ song ttrack list, is cheaper than getting the DLC itself, plus you have a new game format to play through.
Yes. Harmonix has been big on this platform deal. The only issue with AC/DC is that it is an exclusive store deal so you can't just rent it in order to export it, like you could RB1 if you already have RB2.
Lego Rock Band has giant robots, destructible buildings, more; new screens

Lego Rock Band be bringing the house down, baby. See, when the game was officially announced yesterday, I was wondering how much humor and playfulness the Lego brand of gameplay would bring to the Rock Band setting. Don't look now, but LRB will have you going against giant enemy crabs robots, skyscrapers, and call up weather storms by sheer rock power.
A product listing for the game has appeared in Xbox.com. In it, a couple of gameplay details have been revealed.
Well now, would you look at that? Brick collecting is also part of Lego Rock Band. Yeap, it wouldn't be a Lego game without collecting Lego pieces, wouldn't it? Anyway, more screens!
- Songs you know and love: Rock out to everything from current radio hits to past favorites the whole family will enjoy.
- LEGO-themed rock challenges: Play killer riffs to destroy a giant robot, summon a storm, and demolish a skyscraper using the power of rock!
- Enhanced customizer: Don't stop with your avatar, customize your whole entourage! Design the band, roadies, and manager just the way you want.
- Build fame LEGO-style: Collect LEGO bricks after each song to build cooler vehicles and move to new venues.
- LEGO rock den: Buy furniture, decorate the walls and customize your band's hang-out as you climb the ladder to rock success.
- Fun for everyone: Turn down the difficulty with an easier skill set option for budding musicians.
Traveller's Tales, Harmonix, MTV Games, and Warner Bros.' Lego Rock Band for the PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and DS will be released for this year's holidays.
Easier to reach than the Select button. 👍 It is also lefty friendly. So, it seems that the World Tour guitars are more lefty friendly. My friends all have the GH II or GH III guitars which are not very lefty friendly.
With which guitar? I don't have a problem with the much thinner RB Strat, but the Nyko Front Man is quite fat and does make my arm cramp up quite a bit. Using my friend's older GH guitars, they have sharper edges so it feels like it is cutting into my arm after a bit, but they are thin enough to avoid any cramping.I actually get a odd cramp in my arm after playing for long periods of time, for my arm sits on the top of the guitar, and it digs into my arm. Rather Painfull after a few hours, so I switch to drums
It is still too short for my liking though, based on the store display at Wal*Mart. The Fender Strat is actually similar in length to the real thing.
