Q:Is anybody else having difficulty entering the code on the title screen of Wii Rock Band to open the locked songs? If so, has anybody figured it out?
A1:
Yes, I am too. The cheat that I've found seems to apply only to the X-box 360
A2:
It's the 360 cheat, not the Wii cheat. Anyone come up with it yet?
A3:
At start screen press:
red yellow blue red red blue blue red yellow blue
to unlock all songs
A4:
The wii cheat needs to be entered on the giutar at the title screen where it says press + ok here it is : red,yellow,blue,red,red,blue,blue,red,yellow,blue
A5:
I am new to this game and have tried to enter that cheat code several times - can someone walk thru it in a little more detail - do you press start with the wiimote and then enter the code? or do you enter the code on that screen BEFORE you hit the start button? - does this work for any type of play - solo, quick play - multi player quick play?
A6:
You must do the cheat on the screen that says
ROCK BAND
PRESS +

Q:What are the pros and cons about rock band for the wii?
A1:
Pros: Its basically the same as on the other concles (spelling)
Cons: it has no characters creation (doesnt matter that much)
thats basically it!
A2:
Pros: It came with 5 more songs than the xbox 360 rock band
Cons: No rocker maker or music store
A3:
Pros: a bit more unique since the others are always black and this one is pure white
Cons: no character creation, no DLC (downloadable content), or a rocker store. also has no world tour experience in carreer mode
A4:
Okay....
Pros:
- Cheaper, tho you have to buy a new guitar if you want a 4 piece band
- Wireless guitar
Cons:
- No tours or sets to play (which, upon reflection with the group, is a real downer...)
- Guitar hero gibson guitar not compatible
- loading times for songs seem longer than xbox
- no online facility to get new songs (though you can buy the song packs)
I first played Rock Band at a mate's house on an Xbox. I loved it! We have a wii, so we invested, and it is totally worth it, cos its such good fun, but if I owned Xbox and Wii, we'd be rockin it up on the xbox.
Q:For Rock Band for wii do you have to put another wii remote in each of the instrunebts?
A1:
No. The guitar has its own sensor. The mic and drums plug in at a central usb port.
A2:
No I Got It Today And Its Just Like The Other Versions
A3:
Rock band does not use the remotes. So no you do not need to get new controllers.
A4:
You need 1 Wiimote, that is how the vocals navigate. When doing single player it decides what instrument you are playing by what you use to navigate into it. (Also must make a new band name for each different intrument you take into single player tour mode)
Rockband. Even though it's Rockband, you can still play a single instrument, you don't need the whole band. The guitar on Rockband compared to Guitar Hero is much more realistic and has two hand positions for guitar and bass.
A2:
I'm going with rockband though that may change as I progress farther along. Not to say I don't like GH or won't likely pick up gh4 when it's released, I seem to just be having a better musical experience with Rockband thus far.
Haven't played through all of Rockbands tunes yet, but I don't think I've yet to run across a cover (if I have it was near perfect). Guitar Hero's use of cover bands always kind of bugged me, especially when they deviate from the real recorded versions. You know a song by heart, have a good musical ear, can play it on a real guitar just like the recorded version, and then play a video game with said song and they've modified some part...annoying.
The guitars...I wish I could blend the two. I much prefer the neck size and button width of the rock band wii stratocaster. However the strum bar feels mushy, which I'm still getting used to. Super fast up/down strumming seems to miss at times without out the familliar GH click to remind me I've missed. My hands are pretty big and on a real guitar/bass I can sometimes be lazy and use my Thumb on the E string. I can do that with the green button on the Wii like my guitars (so with less than "technique perfect" hand positioning I can actually hold down all 5 buttons 1 on each finger and the thumb), not so on GH guitar unless I shift my hand or use one finger to press 2 buttons. I love the full neck width buttons on the wii guitar compared to GH, but I prefer the button press response on the GH guitar.
Music, thus far in playing I think the Rockband guys are better in tune with what's a good fun song to play than Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero seems to favor more and more metal/Rock speed until the end of the game. Speed isn't the only thing that makes a song hard, or good for that matter. Guitar Hero (notice no rock or metal in the name) just seems to be skipping some great and difficult songs all through the series because they aren't rock or metal (I suppose we should feel lucky to even see hints of blues in there). Even with the addition of Devil went Down to Georgia in the GH3 challenge they went for a (admittedly pretty good) rock remake of it instead of dare exposing players to another genre.
Then add in drums and vocals and Rockband sits over the top in my book. Having more fun with vocals than I thought I would.
A3:
Omg such an easy question. Rock Band, dude! It's so cool, b/c it's got a whole set of [plastic] instruments, and not just. (I know I just got shots in my arms so it hurst to drum a little. A minor problem.)
Q:Why doesn't the wii version have a rocker maker or music store?
A1:
Mainly lack of storage in the form of a hard drive is my guess on the music store.
some of the DLC (downloadable content) songs available for download on XBOX 360/PS3 versions are being released for Wii (and I assume ps2) as song packs for about $30. First one is due out in July, I don't recall exactly how many songs you get but it has been mentioned it costs less per song on the songpacks than other systems are paying over the DLC sevices.
The custom characters are probably a lesser degree of lack of storage on the Wii/PS2 and more to do with if they had included them they would have had to scale do or change animation methods to make things look right on the lesser video capable consoles without dragging the whole game down. This would probably add have added considerable time to the development. That being said I think Harmonix truly underestimated Wii's popularity and should have done a more "polished" Wii version than just port the PS2 version. Hopefully for Rock Band 2 they'll see the light and do that parallel with xbox360/ps3 development cycles so we have a better product and not have to wait forever for it either.
All in all I like the wii version. Customizable charaters are cool for about 5 mins when you make them and first see them, after that I personally don't see much of anything but the track I'm playing so it could be a blank screen for all I'd care and I'd still enjoy the game. DLC they get around with the music packs so we aren't completely left out in the cold and can get more tunes in between versions.
Q:My guitar override does now work when I tilt the guitar up? Instead, override works when the select (-) button is pushed. this is annoying! how do I fix this?!
Q:I cant figure out how to turn on my console without using a wii remote. Gh3 guitar can turn my console on and off.When I use the wiimote to turn on rockband my console recognizes it as an instrument and assigns it a player number. Can someone please advise me STEP by STEP instructions on how to start game once I have all instrument assembled? Thanks
Q:With Wii Rock Band, is it possible to just simply PLAY the instruments without being in a song or practice. I.E bang the drums and hear the sounds without playing along to something. Sort of a "free play" mode or something. Thanks.?
Q:How do I get the Guitar Hero guitar to work with rock band so 4 people can play?
A1:
You don't.
A2:
You have to buy another rockband guitar seperate. Rock Band guitars and guitar hero guitars dont work together on wii
(ive heard rumors that they work together on PS3 tho)
A3:
You can't but it's 100% true that you can do that works on ps2. my cousin has a full set just because be has a guitar hero 2 guitar and he somehow hooked it up on rock band
