Are You Kidding Me?
Take a look at this (thanks Gamespot):SANTA CLARA, Calif.--The Battle of the Bands is officially on. Yesterday, the Neversoft-developed Guitar Hero III revealed the python-enthused former Guns N' Roses fretter Slash would rock on a variety of unlockable guitars. Today, original Guitar Hero developer Harmonix fired back with the announcement that it will offer not just hit singles for gamers to play, but entire full-length albums from multiple labels.
The first band to receive the digital conversion will be classic British rockers The Who. Gamers will be able to form a virtual cover band playing guitar, hitting the drums, and singing along to the band's widely acclaimed 1971 album Who's Next.
An argument can easily be made that Who's Next is one of the ten greatest rock albums in history. Oh, and with one of the greatest drummers in history.
Oh, and ALBUMS? Are you freaking kidding me?
Here's more:
Harmonix also announced the first 15 songs from the retail edition of Rock Band.
