This holiday season Rock Band hits the scene built upon what made Guitar Hero 1 and 2 so popular. Added is a drum kit and Mic to fill out your 4 piece band!

From the Rock Band Site here’s the rundown on the drums/vox:

Drum kit Controller: 4 pads, 1 kick pedal and drum sticks
Mic: “High-Tech” Karaoke design which rates pitch, rhythm and phonemes.

Rock band will also allow co-op locally and use Xbox Live so you can “rock out with friends half-way across the world”.

The game will include 40 licensed songs from the 60′s – today with support to download and buy additional songs (bahh…more purchases on top of all the hardware).

Finally Metallica is included!

Check out the site for more details. It’s release is listed for Xbox 360 and PS3.
