Lego Rock Band Question

sgigi · **11-6-2009, 12:40 AM**

Does anyone know if you have to have the orignal Rock Band instruments to play the Lego Rock Band? I don't see it listed anywhere as a requirement but I would think you would. It looks fun and love the song list. Stupid me bought guitar hero world tour for my kids last easter. I should have got the rock band. Thanks

I would guess yes, since you could use the RB1 instruments with RB2 and vice versa.

you can also use guitar hero stuff with rock band

DH says guitar hero guitar will work with Lego Rock Band

Has anyone actually used Lego Rock Band on guitar hero yet? How do you do it? Do you just put the game in and have your guitars hooked up to your wii controllers like normal?

You can't use Guitar Hero equipment for Rock Band. We have both. You can buy other equipment, not the brand name stuff that is compatible with both.

ETA: Maybe the Rock Band Lego is different, but I know we can't play Guitar Hero games with Rock Band equipment and can't play Rock Band games with Guitar Hero equipment.

According to Rock Band's web site (http://www.rockband.com/compatibility), for XBOX 360: GH World Tour guitar and drums are compatible with Rock Band, Rock Band 2, and RB Beatles, for PS3: GH guitar is compatible with RB, RB2, and RB Beatles and drums are compatible with RB2 and RB Beatles, for PS2: GH guitar is compatible with RB and RB2, and for the Wii: GH guitar and drums are compatible with RB2 and RB Beatles. It also says that Lego Rock band shares the same instrument compatibility as Rock Band and Rock Band 2.

I don't know about the Wii, but we have the Xbox 360 and we use the same Guitar Hero guitar to play RB, RB2, GH, and Lego Rockband.

Oh, thanks! I hope this is true! I questioned this because if they needed the Rock Band instruments I figured they would have bundles. I can't find any bundles that include Lego Rock Band. My DS10 loves lego games and said he wanted this. I didn't want to buy if we couldn't use it. I'll see if we can maybe rent it first to make sure. Thanks to all the responses. Keep them coming if you have any other information!

slightly off topic, but I was interested in the guitar working I have a GH guitar and 2 games for it on PS 2 -- since Old Navy has a special promotion for Rockband & RB 2 on Thanksgiving and also for Lego RB on BF, I wanted to ask:

We have PS 2 and Wii and are getting PS 3, what is the best system to play Lego/any ROCKBAND game on?? I mean if I am going to get it for free and can choose whatever, then I want to go with the system that it is most fun to play it on..is there a general rumor/opinion on this??

Also, don't you think Old Navy may make the price of RB 2 (on Thurs) really high, thus making the "free guitar" not such a steal?? How much would be too much to charge for the RB 2 game, to make it "NOT" worth my time getting in line super early.?

Any help appreciated.

I have the Wii with guitar hero world tour and I play rockband 2 on it...

mom2monkiesx3 · **11-16-2009, 11:43 AM**

Mine are compatible on BOTH our Rockband and GH for BOTH PS3 and WII. We have WAY to many guitars sitting around here..I KNOW THAT!! (and TWO sets of drums!!)

edited to add we dont' have LEGO yet but I cannot imagine it being any different.

Ok so from what you guys are saying Lego Rockband will work with Guitar hero on Wii? I just want to confirm before we open it and are stuck with something we cannot use. Thanks. If someone has it can they test it for us?
