Rock Band, developed by Harmonix Music Systems and published by Electronic Arts Studios, is a rhythm game that acts as direct competitor for the big Guitar Hero. Its first installment was back in November 20, 2007, and the latest one, Beatles Rock Band, did incredibly with both the critics and the fans. The game makes use of the special controller that the Guitar Hero series first put to use, the plastic guitar, enabling players to perform either the bass guitar or the lead guitar chords, but also uses other controllers. Rock Band offers gamers the possibility to perform the drums part of the songs and is also compatible with a USB microphone. All in all, it's the party game where everyone can get in on the action.
