LEGO ROCK BAND
MTV GAMES/WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE
(XBOX 360, PS3, Wii, DS)
We didn’t know there was a market for this, but apparently some people want to assemble their balls-to-the-wall rocker avatar from plastic bricks. This family-friendly game is narrated by the not-at-all-family-friendly Iggy Pop.
Rocks: The game play is on par with other Rock Band releases. Players can’t fail out and kill the fun for everyone else. Your avatar can look like Iggy himself.
Flops: The band challenges may raise eyebrows among those who just want to prove their metal mettle. The music definitely fits into that family-friendly box, so while you can jam to songs from Blur, Foo Fighters, David Bowie, and Vampire Weekend, you’re not going to be screaming any Slayer lyrics.
