Rock Band Debut

The highly anticipated music game Rock Band has just been officially released here last week – 10 months after the US launch.

While Rock Band 2 on Xbox360 was launched in the US on September 14, music gamers here can only console themselves with the first version. Many expressed their surprise that Rock Band is launching here when the sequel is already out. So much for touting the small local market as the Digital Media Gateway of Asia.

Besides the parallel importers who have been bringing in the game since end of last year, Rock Band will have to compete with rival music game, Guitar Hero World Tour, which will be launched in the next few months.

Rock Band 2 vs Guitar Hero World Tour, so which game is better?

Here’s a video of Rock Band live demo at the recent Games Convention Asia 2008.
