    The Ultimate Rock Band

       I gotta be honest the first two RB's never really wowed me. Both the lack of music variety and general novelty would wear off pretty soon. So I wasn't particularly thrilled about the prospect of a new entry, but the sheer polish, variety, and customization gave my attitude a total 180. And it makes it that much worse that the greatest Rock Band experience comes in a time where the rhythm genre has bottomed out and most will never give it a chance. 
        Unlike Activision, Harmonix seems to understand what their fans love. The career cut scenes and menus overflow with your characters to give the player that much more time with their characters. The only misstep being the unlock method of the clothes that locks out some of the best costume pieces unless you're willing to surrender your social life, and wallet, to the game.
       This set list is without a doubt the best variety of songs in any of the games. And I'm pretty sure I have the keyboard to thank for that. Even now most of my favorite songs are still the on disk songs.
       As the future of the series, and genre, teeters on the edge of oblivion Rock Band 3 is a near perfect note to go out on.

Rock Band 3 has again taken music gaming to a whole new level. They’ve crafted what is not just a music video game, but a marvelous musical ...

      Instruments: Drums/Guitar/Keyboard/Pro Keyboard Difficulties: Expert/Expert/Expert/Medium-Expert  Spades are accumulated through Road Challenges and go towards Career Goals. 'Tis the season to play rhythm games and my year of exploding gems on a highway comes to an end on Rock Band 3.  I am very impressed with what RB3 does right.  The system of goals, fans, and complete UI structure overhaul make the surrounding parts of the game feel totally new, and the addition of Pro modes makes the gam...
