With the game coming out in a few days (Oct 14), I just thought I'd post a link for Konami's answer to Rock Band. Last time we saw that ridiculous drum set... and it now you can see it in action.As I came across this video, I initially thought it was a joke, but it's real. It's Rock Band with worse graphics, a terrible interface, and songs list that boasts titles such as Sk8r Boi. In addition to that, the game only comes with drums - you just have to use your Rock Band or Guitar Hero guitar to play guitar parts - and no microphone. This was presented at some games conference and it's just so hard for me to believe it's legit. The guy who demos it isn't that great at the game and at one point in the video he starts twirling his drumsticks as if he's owning it and then he starts acting all modest. You just have to watch it.
Oh yeah and get this. If you're a Wii owner, you can join in on the action too!
"On the Wii, instead of the specialized controllers players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk for "an air-drum and air-guitar experience" similar to Ultimate Band.[1] The game will be simplified for the Wii control scheme, and Wii guitar and drum controllers will not be compatible."
Man. Imagine being a kid and asking your parents for Rock Band for Christmas, and instead they get you Rock Revolution. I'm pretty sure that's how this game will make a majority of its sales.

lol I noticed the twirling thing too. "I can take the skills I've learned" my ass... such a marketing ploy.
It's probably not a horrible game but it does look like a wanna-be Rock Band. Everything looks similar, but slightly worse in some way.
haha ditto...it's like PC cola versus Coca Cola
