"The core experience will be familiar to anybody who played the numerous Rock Band and Guitar Hero games released between 2005 and 2010, but this time around we’re all going into it relatively refreshed. With around 23 of the titles released in just five years on near enough all formats, it wasn’t surprising people lost interest, sales dived and, eventually, the genre dropped off the map.

Harmonix is cognisant of that fact, as well as that many of us still have our old Rock Band/Guitar Hero guitars, drum kits and microphones stored somewhere in the back of a cupboard, and that a lot of us forked out a lot of money to download new tracks for many of the games.

As such, the studio is going to great lengths to clarify just what it is doing with Rock Band 4: you will be able to use most of the instruments from the Xbox 360 and PS3 releases with the new gam, and every song you own, downloaded for previous Rock Band titles, will be still be useable.

This attitude is refreshing, frankly, as well as absolutely necessary – people were bored of what was just too many releases in quick succession, and didn’t want to spend more, more and more on their games. Harmonix understands this and is doing its best to cater for former players (and, of course, current ones).

There will be new songs in Rock Band 4, though the final tracklist hasn’t yet been released – and you can pick up a “band in a box” edition of the game, with new peripherals created by publishing partner Mad Catz. At £230, it isn’t cheap, but it does actually cost the same as what Rock Band’s original instrument-heavy release cost in 2008, with inflation taken into account.

Rock Band 4 will be the only game in the series released this generation – all additions, new tracks, updates and so on will presumably arrive digitally, with the game itself (as with many others these days) seen more as a platform than an individual title.

This means it should feasibly last you five-to-10 years. How much use you’ll get out of it in that time is, of course, up to the individual. And how many parties you host. But it’s a positive step, and it feels an order of magnitude less cynical than Guitar Hero Live, with its emphasis on microtransactions and “day passes”.

There are changes to the central experience, of course – this isn’t just recycled from five years ago, even if it might appear so at first glance. Vocalists will be able to freestyle their lyrics at certain times, being rewarded for singing whatever they like, as long as it fits within the correct pitch-level for the song.

Drum fills have also been updated, offering a system that feels less random and more dynamic, fitting the song in a much more organic way. It’s certainly a step up from previous games’ tendency to encourage players to just wail on the drums for a few seconds – it’s far more tuneful and respectful of the fact that you’re supposed to be in a band." - The Guardian
