Rock Band--
--Entry #2
-----
Forgotten Summary For Entry #1
So basically the story mode for Rock Band on multiplayer is you and a couple friends start a cover band and rise to stardom, gaining fans, money and bitches along the way. The only problem is you get really famous, and even make it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame simply by being a really good cover band. That, however, is neither here nor there. Each new town you enter offers new venues, city shirts, songs, vehicles and crew members.

GAMEPLAY
Social Aspect
By now my friends and I were playing with a full our-piece band, and making our way in the music industry. Its funny to hear close friends sing while intoxicated. The game never gets old when one has friends around.
Emotional Connection
The game can bring out an emotional side in everyone. Each song has some special connotation to someone in the room, and for me the song that hit home the most was Foreplay by Boston. It was a real challenge on drums for the first half of the song, but later eased up and proved to be rather enjoyable and emotionally invoking.
DESIGN
Challenge
The game has a gradual learning curve, as one can play any level difficulty of song and any level difficulty of difficulty. Even while playing with novices one can stil play on their own level and have just as much fun. Just as one thinks they have mastered the game they find that the next difficulty or song is a bit too hard for them.
Innovation
This is the first game to really take many forms of rhythm based video games and mesh them into one spectacular multi player game. It is really the co-op aspect that makes it so new and innovative in an era of Guitar Hero. All the scoring and currency systems are amped up for a more versatile and customizable game. You can make your own logo!! IT GOES ON THE DRUM!!!!11!1!
