Lady Gaga's Poker Face (South Park Version)
""Novelty" indeed." |
JT |
|
Now, its one thing to buy a song that makes you laugh, or to spend money on something like Flight of the Conchords or Jonathan Coulton just to get a jolly.
But this is going too far.
It made me laugh at first, I'll be the first to admit. But once the song got going, I just felt like it was going on far too long.
It adds nothing to the experience of the song. In fact, it takes away from it. Halfway through playing this, I felt like quitting and playing the original version instead.
The is the first Non-RBN song to get the "Novelty" genre type. Sadly, the Novelty wore off pretty quickly. Its the exact same guitar chart, nothing new at all. If it were a buck, or free, I'd let this slide. But two bucks for the exact same guitar chart? No thank you.
I understand this was to ease the pain of the Lady Gaga pack for the "hardcore" fans of the game, who are too obsessed with writing Zeppelin meets Pink Floyd fan fiction to actually listen to something new for a change. But regardless, that doesnt mean we have to pay two dollars for this crap. |

Seriously, this song/pack is a blast to sing. You can tell Harmonix really tried to chart this as to be accurate, but not too difficult that it's not fun. The vocals definitely deserve a 5 and anyone downvoting is obviously just doing so because it's Lady Gaga.
Sing it, you will have fun! |

Stand for Something
"Very Good Song!" |

First off, I love Skindred. Best live band I have ever seen. Also, this is not their best choice for RBN, but it'll do.
Alrighty, I am mainly a guitarist, so I'll do that. It is not the most fun guitar chart around, but it is fun for what it is. It is charted well and feels 'right'.
A great song, which I recommend to everyone, but vocalists have the most reason to pick it up. It has become my favorite song to sing since I've bought it. |

"Amazing Song!" |

WANA is an amazing song to play. I am mainly a guitarist, so I will review that. This has got to be the most fun song on guitar out on the RBN. It's not overly difficult, but it is also no chump. Almost constant HOPOs make this song very memorable.
A must have for guitarists! |

I'll spare you the chart terminology since I don't know it and just say that the song is very fun to play and not that difficult on drums. Actually if you've been playing on expert for a while it may seem rather easy. Don't let that deter you from picking this up. When I rate drums charts I consider the difficulty and fun factor. My ratings also tend to be a bit biased based on the music. |

Get Over It
"baw charting" |
toymachine |
|
|
It seems weird that there would be artificial difficulty in this pack given the fact they neglected to chart blatant fast strumming in "Get Over It"
edit: now that I watched the chart again I assume you are talking about the "grace notes" using h/o chords. That's just another interperation of the chart- doesn't seem like anything that would deter enjoyment imo of course :) |

Here It Goes Again
"Good news and bad news:" |
Crazed Geek |

The good news: This confirms my suspicion that the Rock Band version's BRE is made up (and a little unfun to play).
The bad news: This chart's filled with the sort of artificial difficulty that Guitar Hero is known for. Most of my issue is that they charted notes in the main riff that just feel awkward to play if you know the song. Pass individually, but the pack is more than enough awesome to justify getting this with it. |

Do What You Want
"Great song." |
Crazed Geek |

It's a *tiny* bit repetitive, but it's made up for a by an awesome solo and the trill alluded to by toymachine. Definite buy. (That is, if you like good music. And, you do. I know you do) |

Do What You Want
"This is the track to get." |
toymachine |
|

It was excellent on GHOT and it's even better full band. Drums have great variety and there is lot's of movement.
Bass is bass
Vocals are challenging
Guitar has a trill that was ignored in the Nintendo DS chart lol |

The Complexity of Light
"My favorite RBN Song so far." |

I cannot stop playing this song. The mixture of catchyness and how well the chart is put together keeps you interested. There are absolutely no boring spots in this song. The solo is also very fun. |

Pieman |

You. For playing this song. You'll be strumming. A lot. The entire song, in fact. 13 nps bursts of strumming for three minutes. You're going to be in a lot of pain after this one. It's also just fast enough to be affected by the strum glitch. |

Thrasher
"Unspectacular and finicky talkies." |
Pieman |
|
|
This song is a completely boring and absolutely unremarkable talkie song. Not only that, but you really have to have your timing right on the "Thrasher" phrases to get an "Awesome." The last phrase of the song is particularly hard to not "Strong", even on RB2. It's also got a minute and a half of nothing before the vocals come in, and a whole two solos of nothing. Don't buy this for vocals. Ever. |

Don't Stop
"An enthralling journey into the world of snares." |
Pieman |
|
|
There is not a lot to say about this song. It starts out very promising, with a snare and tom pattern with kick every other note, that transitions into a snare and hi-hat pattern with a kick every other note. Now, did you like what you just played? Good. You're going to be playing it for the rest of the song. |

World Turning
"Hi-Hat Roll: The Song" |
Pieman |
|
|
Mick Fleetwood may be a very talented drummer, but this isn't his best song by far. It's kept out of Polly territory, but that isn't saying a lot. You play a hi-hat roll for at least half the song, followed by more hi-hat, this time with bass on every first note. The song attempts far too late to spice things up with an alternating ride/hi-hat pattern with a small snare roll now and then, but dies down into a common rock beat by the end with momentary ride hits. The end of the song shows potential, but unfortunately, it doesn't last, and comes far too late into an overly boring song. |

Hangar 18
"There are HOW many solos?" |
Pieman |
|
|
Yes, that's right. Hangar 18 is the star song (although certainly not the most difficult) of the Rust in Peace album for guitarists. The beginning of the song is a long stream of chords, followed by scales of moderately fast single strummed notes, and a main riff full of grace notes. The other half of the song is consumed by the eight solos, with various amounts of fast hooks, sweeps, triplets, trills, strumming, and anything else you can think of. There is also a recurring guitar hook joining each solo together with a single sweep and some HOPO chords which are slightly awkward. The charting is iffy in spots, especially compared to Guitar Hero 2, and it feels like they purposely changed things for the sake of change. Overall, it's still a must buy for serious guitarists. |
