Electronic Arts has finally given the nod for Rock Band in Australia.
Australians watched with envy, as the rest of the world rocked out on drums, guitar and microphone in Harmonix’s Rock Band, and then the subsequent announcement of Guitar Hero: World Tour and the inevitable Rock Band 2.
Nothing but the sound of crickets greeted friendly inquires about Rock Band hitting the shores of a land famous for bands such as INXS, ACDC, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel and more.
Finally, EA have announced November 7th as the date of release for Rock Band in oz.
The EA statement is below: Harmonix, the leading developer of music-based games, and MTV Games, a part of Viacom's MTV Networks (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), along with distribution partner Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced that Rock Band will be available in Australia for the Xbox 360(r) video game entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION(r)3 and PlayStation(r)2 computer entertainment systems and Wii(tm) beginning November 7th, 2008.
Rock Band is the all-new platform for music fans and gamers to interact with music. The game challenges players to put together a band and tour for fame and fortune, mastering lead/bass guitar, drums and vocals. With more master recordings than any other music game, Rock Band features some of the world's biggest rock artists and spans every genre of rock ranging from alternative and classic rock to heavy metal and punk.
Rock Band also features an unprecedented library of 200 songs available for purchase and downloads for the Xbox 360(r) video game and entertainment system and PLAYSTATION 3 system. In the near future, all new Rock Band downloadable content will be available on a weekly basis.
Rock Band will hit Australian retail five days before closest rival Guitar Hero: World Tour makes its retail appearance.
Interested? Or would you stick to Guitar Hero, the devil you know or hang out for the inevitable Rock Band 2 release date – which must now be imminent?
