Rock Band 3 Ready for Release for Video Gamers

This new video game caught my eye because I have 3 teenage grandsons who put this on their gift lists. The finishing touches have all been put on the new video game and it's scheduled to be released on Oct. 26, 2010. The games platform for this new music video game is Playstation 3. Of course my grandsons just happen to have this game system along with a number of others, so their all set for this new video game.

Rock Band 3 will make an ideal gift for anyone who loves Rock Bands or is an avid gamer. It's the third main release in the iconic video game series that challenges gamers to live out their Rock & Roll fantasies together in a band situation both locally and online.

Get ready to rock with an ever expanding song list from every era of Rock & Roll history including tracks from Queen, the Cure and Jimi Hendrix, just to name a few. The easy to pick up, yet challenging addictive Note Highway gameplay is compatible with earlier releases in the Rock Band series and all platform specific instrument controllers including most Guitar Hero controllers. It features extreme in-game character and band customization and a slew of other new features, including new setlist search functionality, the addition of 3-part harmonies and a keyboard peripheral as well as expanded play modes like the advanced Pro Mode.

Some of the 83 tracks of music on RB3 from the best bands around the world have never appeared in a music game before. It also gives players immediate access to a music library approaching 2000 + songs as well as a wide variety of additional downloadable music. This newest Rock Band series ups the game once more to give you a more advanced musical experience while still delivering the classic game you love.

Rock Band 3 is the next generation of the ultimate social and interactive music gaming platform developed by the category's leading pioneer, Harmonix Music Systems. Its innovative game modes and instruments will change the way fans think about, and play music games. Besides the access to the 2000+ music library, new content is added weekly and allows you to create and save setlists to share with friends, both in-game and on Rock Band.com. Song filtering makes it easier to find the tracks you want to play.

The new Rock Band 3 music video game retails for $59.99, and will be available on Amazon.com, QVC, and Game Stop as well as most other video game retailers starting on 10/26/2010, just in time for your holiday gift giving.

The only disadvantage I could find with the Rock Band 3 video game is it's addictive quality. Be aware, once you pick up that controller and start playing Rock Band 3 with up to 7 of your friends, you may not want to stop.
