LEGO Rock Band is a music video game released in November 2009 by TT Games (Traveler's Tales Games). It is a Lego version spin-off of Rock Band series developed by Harmonix. Characters include the selection of original characters, existed celebrities from Rock Band series, and also several Lego line characters. The game was released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Nintendo DS.

Launch Trailer[]

A promotional trailer was published prior to the game's release. The trailer features the characters from the game driving or flying through various LEGO landscapes, like a city or the sea, while playing rock music on their instruments. One of their vessels, the Rock Band Bus, is available as downloadable building instructions. Several past and present LEGO sets appear in the trailer as well, such as 4958 Monster Dino (in green), 6285 Black Seas Barracuda and 7236 Police Car. The blue bus and the airplane only appear in the trailer. This trailer also appears in the game as the introduction sequence.

Story[]

Like other Rock Band games, the Story mode follows the player's band through their career, starting by playing gigs at smaller venues and taking requests for special performances. Different from the original ones, the story also adds Lego-ish adventure elements. The default band members are Sir Thomas, Penny Twilight, Nicky Overdrive and Quentin Lance from Rock Band 2, but after the prologue, you may unlock and buy other band members to replace the original four via "Rock Shop".

List of songs[]

In addition to the list above, Lego Rock Band also supports a total of 539 songs from the game's back catalog of downloadable content, as well as imports from the first Rock Band game considered "Family Friendly" (exporting songs from Rock Band 2 is only possible into Rock Band 3). "Hysteria" and "Rock 'n' Roll Star" are featured only in the European version of Rock Band, while the other 22 songs are available across all versions of the game.
