Rock Band Encore: Battle of the Bands

Rock Band Emcore: Battle of the Bands is a Rhythm game based on Rock Band: Encore. The game targets the players who isn’t into rock and wants to discover the genre. It is the least received game in the franchise.

Why It Sucks

 * The main complaint is that the game uses a different engine so hitting notes are now harder than the previous other games.
 * The soundtrack is questionable such as Iron Man by Black Sabbath which has a dark meaning of the song and also has Lil Pump who isn’t even a Rock artist.
 * Customization is watered down. Now you are only limited to 6 colors for your guitar which the previous games has more.
 * Also you can’t replace band members which the other games allowed you to do
 * The backgrounds are pre-rendered.
 * The game is a reskin of Rock Band Encore: II but with a different engine.
 * Many of the characters looks way different to their counterparts in the older games.

Good Qualities

 * The Soundtrack still has great and iconic songs such as More Than A Feeling by Boston, Paralyzer by Finger Eleven, Hotel California by The Eagles, Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand and more.
 * The game is easier on Clone Hero since the hit detection is different.
 * Even though the venues are pre-rendered, the graphics are great.
 * Speaking of venues They are awesome for example the singer will do the YMCA dance while singing just like in Band Hero.
 * You can play as all the members of Grateful Dead which comes with their instruments respectively.
