Konami today announced Rock Revolution, a music-based rhythm game, similar to Guitar Hero and Rock Band. What makes Rock Revolution stand out in an already crowded instrument based gaming market is its focus on drums, while still allowing players to rock out on the bass and lead guitar.
Designed by musicians, Rock Revolution will be available with the most realistic drum peripheral on the market at launch for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3.
"Rock Revolution will be the most innovative and realistic rock game to hit the market, that will provide a quality drum peripheral and music that players will appreciate," said Anthony Crouts of Konami. "As the originator of music-based games, we are dedicated to bringing fans a truly preeminent music experience. With Rock Revolution, we put the emphasis on the drum kit, delivering an experience unlike any other."
Rock Revolution features an extensive music selection on the game disc, along with a wide variety of downloadable songs available at launch for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 versions of the game.
A unique aspect of the Wii version is the interactive use of the controls with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk for an air-drum and air-guitar experience.
Rock Revolution is scheduled to launch this Fall for the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii and DS.
