Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" and Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" may be fun to listen to, but they're not a ton of fun to play. Music Selection (Included)Īfter three games and mountains of downloadable content (DLC), Rock Band 4 is starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel for popular musicians. Winner: Guitar Hero Live With its clicking strum bar and clever new design, the Guitar Hero Live controller takes some getting used to, but feels like the more responsive of the two.

That kind of aural feedback goes a long way in a rhythm game. The biggest advantage of the Guitar Hero controller, however, is the clicking strum bar.

A guitar has six strings, so why not use six buttons to simulate one? Having two rows means you can use the same three fingers for all six of them, rather than slide your hand up and down the neck constantly. As before, the strum bar has an audible, tactile "click" that helps you know when you've hit a note properly.Īlthough it takes some time to get used to the six-button design, it actually makes a lot more sense than the five-button configuration. The top row is white, the bottom is black, and you play notes by matching both color and position. Rather than five colored buttons, you get two rows of three buttons apiece. The section you are after is just down below.The Guitar Hero controller, on the other hand, takes considerable departures from its predecessors. Let us know in the comments if you’ll be plugging away with a bit of Blink-182, Asking Alexandria, or A Day to Remember. You’ll obviously need the base Rock Band 4 game to hand first, but with a wide variety of tunes having appeared for download over the weeks and months since it released, anyone with a musical bone in their body should be interested in what it provides. Xbox One band members will find that the Xbox Store is more than willing to provide the relevant downloads (just hit the links above to be whisked to the relevant Store page for each song), whilst those rocking out on the PS4 should find their own store just as open for business.

Getting the band back together with Rock Band 4 has never been easier and should you enjoy what Blink-182 create, like the tunes of Asking Alexandria, and can’t stop listening to the amalgamation of metalcore and pop punk which A Day to Remember deal in, then grabbing some of the latest action is pretty much a gimme.
