Rock Band Unplugged
Rock Band Unplugged
Rock Band Unplugged, développé par Backbone Entertainment et Harmonix Music Systems et édité par MTV Games et Electronic Arts, est sorti le 9 juin 2009 sur PlayStation Portable. Ce jeu de musique constitue une extension de la série Rock Band, avec des modes de jeu similaires à ceux des opus principaux et une bande-son incluant plusieurs titres déjà présents dans la série, certains morceaux supplémentaires étant exclusifs à Unplugged pour une durée limitée avant de devenir des contenus téléchargeables sur les consoles de salon. La presse a salué la qualité du titre sur portable, Play UK jugeant qu'il compte parmi les meilleurs jeux de rythme sur la machine, tandis que Pelit en Finlande note que le jeu prouve que les jeux musicaux fonctionnent bien sur console portable grâce à un gameplay proche d'Amplitude. Des joueurs sur Metacritic ont quant à eux apprécié l'idée de devoir jouer de chaque instrument du groupe pour renouveler l'expérience Guitar Hero. L'agrégat de notes du jeu s'élève à 69,99.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« There are few better rhythm-action games on the handheld. [Issue#181, p.81] »
« Rock Band Unplugged proves that music games can work surprisingly well on handheld consoles, too. The Amplitude-like gameplay works great and the song selection is good. A game worthy of the Rock Band name. »
« But as a rhythm game, Unplugged is a wonderful portable title. [July 2009, p.84] »
« Buy this game if you want a challenging title that will eat up long journeys or quiet evenings in darkened room; it’s a great take on the franchise and it’s made for us, for the fans. »
« Not a bad little version of Rock Band considering the fact that it doesn't come with anything resembling a fake instrument. »
« Rock Band Unplugged is a great addition to the Rock Band series, offering a refreshing rhythm game mechanic that feels very comfortable on the PSP. Even though the game lacks multiplayer, the DLC feature should help give this game some legs in the future. »
« There are few things to object to this Rock Band Unplugged. This portable version respects the gameplay of its elder brothers, but adding a new gameplay approach that we consider a hands down achievement. »
« Rock Band Unplugged is a top title worth picking up, the only problem lies if you own Rock Band on another console as it does feel quite similar both in the tracks available and the gameplay in general. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Brilliant concept of how to perfect the guitar hero gameplay. This game is forcing you to play every instrument in the band and thanks to this idea you can focus on things you wouldn't even hear. You can actually focus on a bassist parts or see how difficult drums can be! In my opinion it's the ultimate gameplay of any music game. Songs are amazing and overall graphic design is really pleasant. Of course graphic and textures are outdated and not really good... But gameplay is amazing. »
« Jugabilidad radicalmente opuesta a la tradicional y aún así emular la dificultad de la misma. Si haces ciertas cosillas ilegales y consigues todas las canciones dlc's... imprescindible para fans del rock and roll y las Dixie Chicks. »
« Includes inpossible patterns for psvita console - making the game unplayable »
« It's so beautiful playing laid to rest songs portable, I'm a fan of guitar hero!!! »
« A fun Rock Band spin-off for the Playstation Portable. The graphics are pretty impressive for the band, equipment and the crowd. The soundtrack is good but gets even better when you download some other classic songs from the Playstation Store for the game. The sound is great too. The gameplay is the same as Rock Band and Rock Band 2 and its fun to control all the band members at separate times. The controls are very easy to use and very responsive. I would use the first Control Style. There are other modes to play apart from Tour Mode such as Band Survival Mode and Warm Up mode to practice your skills. I would say that the purchasing of dlc songs does take away from the game and that some of them should have been included on the disc as the list of the dlc songs is near perfect. A fun game overall. »
« Best button mashing game on psp for sure. Button layout is just the best, otherwise like on Guitar hero on xbox. Song list is great, there are blink 182, Franz Ferdinand, System of a down, which are my favorites. Recommend it. »
« I got this game 3 1/2 years ago, and I still play this game today. I expected it to be bad because it's a branch-off and there's no instruments. I was so surprised and relieved to see that this game could and should be in the PSP hall of fame. It has the same personality and charm as the console versions. My hats off to EA for making a franchise add-on that doesn't ****. »
« A fair well made game if you expect a full " Rock Band " experience . For PSP users suffering for not having to many things in the device , RB does a little to entertain and be good time killer . »
