'LEGO Rock Band' Hitting Shelves Holiday 2009

by Evan Shamoon on April 22, 2009 at 10:19 AM



Proving once and for all that two totally unrelated franchises can be rolled into one gooey ball of profitable deliciousness, 'LEGO Rock Band' is a go. Set to launch this Holiday season on any console with a pulse -- PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and DS -- the game is a joint effort by TT Games, LEGO, MTV and Harmonix, the original creator of 'Rock Band.' Unsurprisingly, the games will make use of all the 'Rock Band' peripherals currently cluttering a host of homes around the world.

In addition to letting players customize their LEGO rockers and road crew, the game is said to be rather "family friendly." We're guessing that means the game doesn't feature any songs referring to pelvic thrusting or whipped cream. At present, Blur's "Song 2," Carl Douglas's "Kung Fu Fighting," Europe's "The Final Countdown," Good Charlotte's "Boys and Girls," and Pink's "So What" have all been confirmed for the game, which should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from the final version (i.e. kid-friendly, potentially-annoying-for-parents fare).

We can only hope that one of these block-rockin' controllers will be available in conjunction. [From: Joystiq]
