    Rock Band 3 is great. It's got a solid track list, the highway-switchin' gameplay I dig, and plenty to do. I wish there are more songs and that the interface was intuitive.

    Shame about the small tracklist, as otherwise this is a good adaptation of the console game. [Christmas 2010, p.76]

    Rock Band 3 on the DS captures the solid mechanics found on other platforms, but a limited set list and lackluster additions keep it from stardom.

    I never really understood this game... you are tasked with playing 4 different tracks to maintain the band, but they are all the same gameplay, just tap buttons as they come down. Vocals especially confuse me, as there is a microphone on the DS and Band Hero DS managed to use it to success, yet Rock Band 3 (similar to Lego Rock Band DS) just uses buttons again. This type of Rock Band is greatly different than peripheral Rock Band, and the gameplay of the DS version can get boring over time, but if you are looking for non-peripheral Rock Band, then this game will suit you fine.… Expand
