Out in April/May is a brand new rhythm-action game by Rolling Stone magazine for Nintendo Wii, which sees you becoming the drummer in a band that’s on the road to global stardom. Yes, it's time for another music rhythm game...
To become a music legend in 'We Rock: Drum King' you only require two Wii Remotes, rather than having to clutter your living room with potentially expensive instruments. The remotes become your virtual drumsticks as you beat your way through 30 rocking tunes.
You start on the road to fame by creating your drummer and then joining a band, before performing in a range of increasingly spectacular venues – until you’re crowned the greatest rock band in the world.
Developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii by DEL, We Rock: Drum King takes full advantage of the innovative motion-sensing capabilities of the console. The game is played by moving the remotes as if you’re ‘air drumming’. Different drums – including snare, toms, hi-hat and bass – are simulated by waving the Wii Remotes while pressing a different button.
Wannabe drummers know exactly when and what drum to hit thanks to coloured indicators that scroll down the screen in time to the tune. The difficulty can be scaled too, so that beginners can pick-up-and-rock-out, whereas experienced beat masters can crank up the challenge to 11.
The track listing for We Rock: Drum King includes music from Queen, Europe, Bloc Party, Gorillaz, The Police, DJ Shadow, The Clash, Queens Of The Stone Age amongst many others.
