Note: the only way to access the full Rock Band library of songs in Rock Band 4 is having already owned them in Rock Band 3 on PS3 or Xbox 360, then having transferred them over to Rock Band 4 on PS4 or Xbox One. A narrower set of platforms and a far narrower set of songs to choose from actually make it a hard sell. Rock Band 3 is relevant due to having the largest Rock Band library ever (thanks to the deep pockets of its publisher) and despite the myriad of graphical and gameplay improvements made in Rock Band 4. While Guitar Hero titles are great too, for the sake of this list we’ll only be discussing the two games from this developer that are relevant today: Rock Band 3 and 4. Speaking of influential rhythm games, the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series rocketed the genre into mainstream consciousness thanks to the developing ingenuity of the studio Harmonix. Platforms: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii (3), PlayStation 4, Xbox One (4) In the era of the early Guitar Hero games and YouTube taking the world by storm, Audiosurf was a hit – not just as a game for people to play, but also to watch the incredible visualizations of your favorite tracks played out right in front of you, with much more visual spectacle than offered by its contemporaries.Īudiosurf 2 takes this core concept and dials it up to eleven with polished, modern-day graphics, a multitude of new game modes and improvements that make the original game obsolete, a better, more-accurate online ranking system, the ability to play virtually any song through YouTube, and the addition of user-made mods that allow them to change the way the game looks, sounds and plays. It did this by allowing users to use their own locally-stored tracks for track generation and by being generally fun and well-designed. Way back in 2008, Audiosurf took the Internet by storm by innovating on the rhythm game genre. With my recently-renewed interest in rhythm gaming, I’m going to show you the best the genre currently has to offer.
