The DLC songs cost more than they do in the console counterparts and can only be played on guitar, so those who don’t typically play guitar like me may not have a long-term interest in the product. The experience is wonderful and I am excited to introduce others to it, but its lasting appeal is a hard sell, especially for those who can simply jump over to traditional Rock Band and play any other instrument.

Stepping into the shoes of the lead guitarist adds a new layer of excitement to the Rock Band formula, and the new gameplay mechanics are fun to mess around with, even if it feels completely different from the original gameplay style. Harmonix has always prided itself on giving players new ways to experience their music, and Rock Band VR succeeds in that regard. Though lacking in content, Rock Band VR is a fun, new way for the long-running series to let you live out the rockstar fantasy.

The inclusion of the keyboard in Rock Band 3 was interesting and bringing a full compliment of plastic instruments to living rooms around the world with the original was revolutionary for a generation, but now this latest entry truly makes you feel like the star of your very own group. The Classic Mode is merely a shell of its former self, but the new VR features establish a more immersive way of playing the game than ever before. It’s lacking in a few areas, but the core of it all is too fun to ignore.

Mit der Whammy-Bar als Kontrollfunktion u.a. für Teleport auf der Bühne wurde zwar nicht die beste Lösung gefunden. Doch ungeachtet dessen ist Rock Band VR ein wichtiger Schritt innerhalb des Rhythmus-Genres. Nur selten hat man sich in einem Spiel so sehr wie ein Gitarrenvirtuose gefühlt wie hier. Ich hoffe, dass die Oculus-Exklusivität zeitlich begrenzt ist und in absehbarer Zeit auch PSVR-Rocker in die Saiten hauen dürfen.
