Game plot:
Along the lines of what had been done to the Beatles, Green Day: Rock Band tried to follow the career of the California group, its nervous beginnings three agreements in its securities subsequent, more sophisticated. Without getting into music criticism, Green Day is a group that has diversified, which from the perspective of the game is to avoid certain weariness with a bit styles vary throughout the 47 pieces of cake. Course and left to push a door open, better to be a fan of the group to embark on the purchase of this special edition of Rock Band. Special Edition and not a simple extension, as the content allow the software to run as a full title.
Like the Beatles: Rock Band, the title was changed to look to marry the image of the trio of Berkeley. Besides the menu, there are therefore mainly modeling musicians whose appearance changes according to season. However, fans may regret that the details are less advanced than in the Beatles issue. There are far fewer events and every place that benefits no one undertaken with the introduction of the game engine and if you appreciate being able to change venue, it will not be too greedy because we do account than 3. Yes, Green Day’s selling a lot, this is not the Beatles. In return, fans can unlock a good amount of content, just pictures live videos. Pure a fan service, but it is always good to take.
As for the game play, Harmonix did not touch and does not take much of a risk by offering a Rock Band lambda which has been changed the dressing. Side progression, the three concert venues are divided into three sections each with different challenges of playing a set list with a minimum score to achieve. Not surprisingly, these challenges are inevitable for those who want to unlock the content in the most alluring title, namely live performances. Its bit of a classic, namely a good way to replay the same songs and then extending a little life in the game right, it is usual but it is a bit annoying.
Much less, however, that lady censorship is once again passed through here to make the singer lost his voice when he uses certain words too rude. Suddenly, you hear the joy of fine phrases like "I’m a (white) happy" with the curious impression the first time that the soundtrack was derailed. And that’s a (white) rock and roll. Besides that, Green Day Rock Band is a sure bet for fans of the group, offering a nice design and content right.
Game play and Support:
Green Day Rock Band recovers the basic features of The Beatles Rock Band, so great care to reproduce the various stages of the band’s career, the very high quality compilation of notes to play and to sing up to three simultaneously. Allows you to import all the songs of Green Day may have already purchased the online store and will have a track list exportable "to" Rock Band 2. Will be included in full albums Dookie and American Idiot, with twelve pieces taken from 21st Century Breakdown (the remaining eight are available on the online store and will still be included in the edition highlights of the game) and there are no DLC, since the animations of the "characters" were designed and created specifically to bind to different songs. Are not finally set the appropriate controller.
The funny thing is that criticism of The Beatles, beyond its spectacular presentation or being the first (well above GH: Metallica, which shares the title in presentation) to pay true homage to a band through its history, is that certain core of fans endorsed him criticism for not having the musical style associated with these allowances. He gave exactly the same as over the disks and concerts will explore ways of creating music that the pace would make it possible one way to play the drums or the need to combine three voices with all that this entails. The case is that the public is always right. The adaptation of The Beatles will go down in history as being, as we say, the best example of how to pay tribute to a great rock band, but did not become the success that everyone expected it to be.
The choice could not be other than Green Day. With numerous awards behind him, more than 60 million records sold over more than ten years of experience, the group formed in California breaks styles thanks to its punk revival that has evolved remarkably since its inception to the present. Three members (Billy Joe Armstrong on vocals and guitar, Mike Dirnt on bass and Cool on drums), had an explosive start and then spread thinly over the amalgamation of the competition, returning from the dead a short time later with global success marked American Idiot. Then come Breakdown 21st Century, which would take them back to sit on the throne of the state rock.
Game Modes:
The Beatles that operates with the most popular melodies of the California group. This implies that aesthetic level changes are zero, using the same graphics engine, recreating the attitude of the three singers in three different scenarios, chosen by themselves, as representing the most emblematic places in which they have had the opportunity to play vivo. This will close the doors to a visual progression to call wide attention, but not longer be catching design with which it has characterized members, like his behavior. When we started heading for the first time we have a chance to see a short video introduction of the 21st Century style Breakdown, which serves as the starting gun to start enjoying the game, something that stretches as we complete the career mode.
We say that the basis is the same as that used on The Beatles because as we move unlocks additional material (videos, interviews, photos …) that Warner Music Group has taken out of the closet as a gift for fans who want to know more about their favorite band. The mechanics are identical to other titles by bands formed in this regard: we played several songs from one album in particular as we move through the career mode unlocking challenges (get certain scores on three items, get a number of stars …) achievements (also present in the Wii edition of virtually) and little else. One of the problems of this RB: GD is that their song list includes 47 songs that easily end up in an afternoon.
In our experience, five hours were enough to take a look at the final video with instructing the public not to lose sight of the group’s evolution. The aesthetic part of the title is clearly marked with a commendable effort to recreate when the three locations in which we played over our particular tour: The Warehouse, the most significant in the first period and where the group began to play (representative of Dookie), Milton Keynes, England (where he was engraved Bullet in a Bible) and finally the Fox Theater that has become the most important place in the group’s recent tour as he introduced 21st Century Break.
Visual Style:
This is in regard to the visual, as in playable level (beyond the mechanics already discussed), the game offers users the option of playing several compositions of his albums through a major tour the most important moments that Green Day has featured worldwide. Keep in mind that this band’s musical style is mainly focused on the so-called ‘punk revival’, that part of the base with touches of punk rock. Specifically, GD was characterized by carrying this style a step further by creating the so-called ‘punk opera’, in seeking to add depth to the compositions instrumental fast, with relatively few taps. His style evolved dramatically as the years pass, hence Breakdown 21st Century is perhaps the most complex of all, with variations as the tune progresses.

The truth is that the structure of a group composed of three members is achieved impressive harmony both vocal (which offers the chance to sing in three voices, as in The Beatles, another sign of evolution) as instrumental. The difficulty increases gradually as the group’s style evolved, leading the hard-nosed punk rock to the more complex and contemporary. Most notable in this regard is the variety of styles: the same plays imitate a Spanish guitar in ODF to play four or five different riffs in Before the Lobotomy (we stayed with the harmony of Peacemaker, spectacular song, very well lead to the appearance Virtual Rock Band). In this sense happens something similar to that seen in previous titles in Rock Band; maybe the premise of the band is not attractive at first glance, but the mechanics focuses progressively, so that the user who knows the group to enjoy, and no, he can enjoy learning from their best performances.
Rock Band: Green Day continues to be a Rock Band continues to use the standard set by his predecessor, varying the creative – artistic, basing the player’s attention in the variety of songs on offer. The following is the full track list of 47 songs that are offered in addition to the DLC that has appeared and will be compatible with this title if purchased in advance. It can play both solo and together, offline or online, as is customary in the music simulation games that appear in our days.

Green Day – Rock Band invents the Rock Band series is not new. The career mode has become thin and is not offset by volume of collectable material. The great live atmosphere and the same powerful songs from these criticisms, however. Not only Green Day fans, and other Rock Band players will have fun with this item.
