    In closing, I can't help but think a local co-op option would have been a great addition that would have attracted a wider audience. If you couple this with the fact that Rock Band 3 songs are still unable to be imported, there are a couple of things that stop this from being a 100% scoring game, but nonetheless, it is still a fantastic entry into the rhythm game genre.

    But as long as you like rhythm games, turning it away simple because it isn't fun to watch would be a major mistake, as Blitz is one of the most enjoyable rhythm titles I've played in years. All of the nuances involved make it much more interesting than simply attempting to "get 100% of the notes," which is something truly special.

    Harmonix proves rhythm games are still as alive as ever; it just lacked some creativity these last couple of years. Rock Band Blitz might start of slow, but this is soon compensated by the fresh outlook the game gives on music games.

    Blitz proves that rhythm games can work without additional hardware, but even though it reminds sometimes of Harmonix' early masterpieces Frequency and Amplitude it lacks substance as a stand-alone-game. But throw the cross-compatibility with the instrument based brethren in the mix and you get more than 20 new songs to play for a fair price.

    This is what you call a true sleeper hit.There is unlimited replay value and a game that surprised me in just about every way.I didn't think it was possible for a video game to be so fun.The company that's direction was going for simulation in music gaming comes back and slaps us in the face with arcade genius.Whenever I wanted to play the arcade versions of music I would pop in one of my Guitar Hero games and just have good ol' fashion fun.When I wanted to play a little on the real side of the music genre I would play my Rock Band collection,not saying that I will quit playing GH games but this is a big reason in my mind to play this work of art before I play my next GH game,just BRILLIANT!… Collapse

    For long-time fans of Frequency and Amplitude prior to the Guitar Hero and Rock Band era, Rock Band Blitz is a more accessible and no less engaging experience. If you immersed yourself in those games as much as my friends and I did (ultimately, Amplitude is what brought my wife and I together), Rock Band Blitz is a big 'ol love letter straight from Harmonix... just make sure you change up the controller to a less alien mapping.… Expand

    Very addicting, hypnotic, but all Blitz is is a more modern version of Amplitude. That being said, that game stole many hours of my life. The mechanics are a little easier than Amplitude however, instead of hitting specific buttons, you press the thumb sticks in the direction of the "note." But the best aspect about this, in my opinion, is that it uses all of your Rockband 3 data. A great game to play when just needing to kill some time and chill out.… Expand

    the game is quite annoying, but the fact that the songs import freely is the best thing of this game, it's just disappointing, but I'd say if you're into this type of games go for it, spend some 1200MSP (NOTE: this isn't really a Rhythm Videogame like previous ones). As for the setlist, "One Week", "Spoonman" and "Give It Away" are the best of this offer… Expand
