When the 1st country pack was announced for Rock Band, I was a bit ambivalent. Would it be good music to listen to? How would it play? Does it fit in Rock Band?
But I was happily surprised by how fun all the songs were, especially on guitar. The 2nd pack wasn't as good as the 1st one, but still, I find that having more genres in Rock Band is a good idea.
The PS3 seems to disagree... Raikan wanted to sing some country songs (he loves "How Do You Like Me Now?!") so we played an 8-song all-country set. Perhaps this country overload was too much for the PS3 to handle, so it crashed as we were finishing our 5th song! That's the first time this happened during one of our sessions, so was the PS3 trying to send us a message? ;)
When we got back into the game, the scores for the 5 songs had not been saved in our song list. Hopefully the scores were still uploaded to the Leaderboards between songs.
We played one 8-song set with our optimal line-up tonight and it paid off, as we got 7 Gold stars, and nearly an 8th for Prong's "The Banishment" (really fun song). The rest of the night there were instrument rotations for variety, with Sylvie and Seb subbing in at times.
In total we played 29 unranked songs and gained about 26M points, moving us up from rank 32 to 23 in the "All Songs" Leaderboards (we now have 438M points). At this rate we'll likely be in the top 10 within about 3 months.
Highlights:
- Stars breakdown for the 29 songs: Gold star (7), 5 stars (18), 4 stars (3), 3 stars (1)
- Bongoo is the "Top Performer" for the most songs (20), followed by Raikan (8), DMan and Sylvie (3 each), and Phoenix (1)
- Bongoo has the most FCs (9), followed by Raikan (3), and DMan (2)
- We get 666K on "Hillbilly Deluxe", the week of the release of the "Iron Maiden" 12-pack DLC
