Music game Rock Band 2 will release for the Wii on April 24th.
For the uninitiated, Rock Band allows you to perform in a virtual band by playing different peripherals modelled on real musical instruments (a guitar, drums and a microphone). You have to strum, beat or sing in time to notes that scroll down the screen, as the picture below shows, and it’s a real laugh, especially when played with friends.
When it launches the game will cost £39.99. Standalone guitars will also cost £39.99 and drums £49.99. Or you could buy the pair plus a microphone for £89.99.
Just to make things more confusing – or simpler perhaps – you’ll also be able to pick up the game, drums, guitar and microphone together for £109.99.
The game comes with loads of songs spanning all types of music pre-loaded on the disc, plus you can download extra tracks from the Rock Band online store.
