Tipping the scales in RBU's favor is that of music fidelity. In fact, outside of a few more jaggies, they are almost identical to their console counterparts. Visually, Rock Band Unplugged is exactly what you'd expect from the Rock Band franchise. Regardless of pricing, the ability to download more songs to your MemoryStick without having to switch out UMDs should provide players with convenience in addition to extended replayability. 99¢ seems competitive, we can only hope the $1.99 price point will actually cover bundled track packs - we'll have to wait and see. Moreover, the ability to download new tunes via the Music Store is potentially a huge boost to the game. I would have liked to have seen some multiplayer goodies, but the single-player offerings are good enough that I'm not too discouraged. While I'm glad this option was there, I didn't find it to be particularly compelling.ĭisappointingly, online leaderboard support and ad hoc / infrastructure jam sessions between multiple players is not an option. This mode lets you play just a single instrument. If you are looking for a more traditional approach, you can go into the Extras tab at the main menu and select Warmup.

All this hopping from one track to another takes a bit to get used to, but in the end it feels very satisfying and adds another level of complexity to the genre.
