Music from Green Day Rock Band is already available, with exports from Rock Band 1 and Rock Band 2 coming soon. This week also sees the ability to export your Rock Band 3 on-disc tracks forward into Rock Band 4. Seriously, even some PlayStation 2 instruments work! Best of all, the majority of your old drums and guitars are compatible with the new Xbox One and PlayStation 4 game. That's literally something that's never been done until now. They had the unenviable task of ensuring that over 1700 pieces of previously released song DLC, spanning multiple games and console generations using different hardware and software architecture, could carry over and still be played in Rock Band 4. Harmonix respects the legacy, and most importantly they respect your prior investments. It goes beyond the core gameplay, though.

If you're a beginner, simply switch on "No Fail Mode" and enjoy yourself free of any pressure. A new feature called "Auto-Kick" lets you just concentrate on the pads while the game handles the kick drum pedal. Maybe you're intimidated by drums, and the bass pedal in particular? Or maybe you have a child who can't get all their limbs on the same page just yet.
Think you can do a better job than the original singer? Stray outside the lines and belt out your own melody - as long as it's in the same key, it counts. Do you love playing rhythm guitar but fall apart during difficult, technical solos? Switch to Freestyle Guitar Mode and unleash your own solos, which magically sound great and put the emphasis more on creative expression than technical mastery. You could apply some of these things to Guitar Hero Live as well, but where Rock Band 4 pulls away is player choice and its abundance of expressive gameplay options. It’s an endless buffet of personal challenges to overcome and scores to conquer on a variety of instruments. It’s social glue a fantastic excuse to have a party. A platform for escapism and expression and rocking out with careless abandon. For some it’s a portal into music discovery, and a path to gaining new appreciation for songs that don’t register a blip on their everyday radar. The brilliance of Rock Band is that it represents many things to many different people, and can be experienced in a variety of ways from ultra casual to hardcore. Labeling it as a “video game” simply doesn't do it justice.
