You won't even miss the plastic instruments

How can a game that's all about playing classic rock songs on fake plastic instruments be any good when you take said instruments away? Somehow - and it's to the game designers' great credit - Rock Band on iPhone is every bit as enjoyable as its console daddy.

You tap the screen as the notes reach their markers, playing or muting the authentic master track just as seamlessly as ever. There's wi-fi multiplayer to play songs with your mates too, so while this doesn't quite provide the same 'band feeling' as the original, it's damn close. And, with 30 free songs plus loads more available to purchase in-app, there's enough content to keep you busy for ages.

    Didnt you guys do this game already or am I just having deja vu? I have this and it is very good, although the price is a little high and all the dlc is a dollar a song I think. If you want something cheaper try Tap Studio Pro, its kinda buggy but it's got basically every song ever for only half the price of this.
