FBTB - From Bricks To Bothans

New to me anyway:

The game is, obviously, geared toward the younger audience. When I saw this game at Comic Con, there was always a line of kids and adults alike wanting to play although some of the younger kids were having trouble with the concept; seemed like they just wanted to mash buttons regardless of cascading colored bars and potential for star power. In any case, what seemed at first to be an odd mashup now seems to me like a hit. No doubt it will be a cash cow for Warner Bros. Interactive and LEGO.

I gleaned the following from USA Today; it is the entire song list for the game. Tracks with a * will be included in the DS version:

All American Rejects, Swing, Swing*
The Automatic, Monster*

You can rock out to Bon Jovi and Tom Petty starting November 3rd.

If you’re chomping at the bit waiting for LEGO Rock Band to be unleashed, you can get a small reprieve to help pass the time. Head over to Toys’R’Us to preorder LEGO Rock Band for the system of your choice (Wii, DS, PS3, Xbox 360) and you can get a snazzy Rocker minifigure keychain pictured below:

Or, you can just pay $4.99 for it and skip the game entirely. Johnny Depp was even more of a genius channeling Keith Richards for his Jack Sparrow role since, apparently, rockers are just pirates.

The game will be released November 3rd. FYI, the LEGO Rock Band tag is a sticker.
