Nintendo Wii Screenshots: LEGO Rock Band

About a month ago I picked up LEGO Rock Band for the Wii used at Gamestop as part of a buy 2 get 1 free used game sale. I had been wanting it since it came out last November, but kept putting off buying it since I had not finished playing through Rock Band 2, Beatles Rock Band, or even the simple Country Pack (now I think I have unlocked all the songs on this one at least). Waiting ended up being good in that it now only costs about $20 (about $15 used) instead of the original $50, but honestly it is good enough to be worth the full original new price in my opinion.

LEGO Rock Band is not really all that much different in terms of actually playing the songs other than there is a Very Easy mode. However, I love that you unlock mini figs and other LEGO themed items. The coolest is decorating the Rock Den with the items you have unlocked and purchased. The choice of songs are also better than the purely Rock version, as it does not seem to have any of the annoying metal, etc.

Overall LEGO Rock Band has become my favorite version and I have been enjoying it a lot the past month. I actually think I have gotten closer to finishing this one's plot in one month than Rock Band 2 in a year, but mostly only because Rock Band 2 has other stuff like the Band Challenges and online challenges regularly added (I do not do these anymore, though, since I no longer have my Wii connected to the Internet).
