To coincide with the Weekly Challenge there are Spotlight Songs which earn a Bonus for your crew.
Our first Weekly Challenge was "Leading Ladies", so making our way to the Quick Play list we could see that all contributing tracks are marked with a W, and set about playing as many songs with female vocalists as we could. We set up a Crew and added members so we could start earning points straight away.
Weekly Challenges vary over time and have a small selection of Spotlight songs with which you can earn bonus points. You can contribute to your Crew's weekly challenges by playing Quick Play, Shows and Rockudrama. Want some more serious competition? Rivals Mode gives you the opportunity to start or join a Crew with your friends online and enter weekly challenges against rival crews, finish the week in the top bracket, and earn badges. Although we would have preferred it if there had been a bit more of a variation on outcomes at different success levels, overall we enjoyed the change of pace that it offered. We appreciated the humour it brought to the game, enjoyed the video clips, and liked that we could unlock different narratives when we performed really well on harder settings. It's great fun to play and comes dripping with sarcasm, poking fun at the fickleness of stardom and celebrity. Play well and the media moguls remember the good times, play a bad set and watch on as they rip you apart. The playable rock documentary is narrated as you follow the story, from your first high school gig, the turbulent ups and downs of touring, to worldwide super-stardom and your farewell show you get to play each and every set.īy scoring points and stars for each gig you can affect your story. Rockudrama is a tongue-in-cheek reminisce of your fabled band's career. We opted for Guitar, Bass and Vocals (the bassist sang while playing when they knew the words) and jumped into Rockudrama.
ROCK BAND RIVALS BAND IN A BOX BLUETOOTH
With a little bit of fiddling (the instructions were just pictures) we manage to sync up the new Bluetooth Guitar and set up the rest of the band. Overall we'd say that playing it seems much easier and natural than the old model. The tilt sensor has also been improved to make activating Overdrive less of a problem. It's also a lot quieter and doesn't click at anywhere near the levels of the old controller. The strum bar feels more reactive and seems to perform well at high speed (perfect for nailing Through the Fire and Flames). The power, D-Pad and menu buttons are smaller and placed well out of the way to avoid any unnecessary interaction too. The first noticeable difference is the neck, a small (stiff) clip on the back gives you the ability to fold the guitar in half making it much easier to store. It's a good looking piece of kit and being bright blue it certainly stands out from the original Fender Stratocaster. Straight out of the box we unpacked the new Fender Jaguar guitar. While it keeps all the original content for existing players, can the added Rockudrama and Rival Crews be enough to dial the volume up to 11?
Rivals revamps Rock Band 4 with a new look, new tracks and new modes.
