Green Day: Rock Band
About the Game
Green Day: Rock Band is the second major release in the Rock Band series designed around a specific band, in this case the American punk rock group from California. At its core, the gameplay remains the same as in other games of the series: players use their instrument controllers to play guitar, bass and drum parts and sing vocal parts, matching notes on the screen in rhythm with the music.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Vocal harmonies, earlier seen in The Beatles: Rock Band are also featured, allowing three players to sing certain parts together. In Quick Play, all included songs can be played from the start, while Career mode moves through several setlists, unlocking more songs along the way. A Score Duel mode features multiplayer duels against players playing the same instrument part on the same song.
