snaaaake snaaaakeee oooooh snaaaake.

I'd love to try the singing parts in this...  As well as everything else.  I do still want Tiger 08 and GHIII for Wii though.  They're topping the list at this point.  Would RB ever make it to Wii?

[tet]

rumor has it, yes.  apparently the makers of Rock Band have said that a Wii version is on the way, so that's as good as confirmation as you can expect i guess.  don't know when, or if it will have access to the same awesome downloadable content, but i'd say you can expect a version of it in the next year or so. 

in the meantime, buy a 360

Thats cool they have Dead tunes on there

yup, primarily why i bought it.  they announced a while ago that they signed an agreement for 18 Dead songs, so it's gonna be interesting to see what else they pick.  i'm sure Touch of Grey is coming...

But do you get more points for not playing the songs the same way twice?

sadly, no.  and i'm sure there's not going to be any extended jamming... they're releasing China Cat, and if they ever release Rider, i would doubt you could jam between them.  though that would be AWESOME.

just played through them all, pretty awesomely done.  they even made some trippy effects during the jam at the end of China Cat, which kick ass.  now if only they'd release Rider, that would be amazing to jam into...  it sorta ends abruptly, so i can see them doing something cool like that (if it's even technically feasible)
