ROCK BAND Reloaded for iPad
Parent and Kid Reviews
Is It Any Good?
The Rock Band franchise is one of the best in the music genre, and this mobile version keeps the quality level high. The game comes with a deep collection of music -- 20 songs are available initially -- and finally lets players actually sing the songs, rather than tap the screen along with the lyrics. This "vocal mode" makes the game more immersive (though for tone-deaf players, the tap along option is still available). The game is pretty forgiving with singers, though -- not recognizing lyrics and being extremely generous with pitch. The differentiating features of the iPad version (versus the iPhone version) are minimal and don't really justify the extra $5 in price. It's a well-made and truly fun game, but you're just as well off buying the less expensive iPhone version.
