It is ironic that the international leader in music and rhythm-based games has lost a section of the market to the unexpected phenomena known as Guitar Hero and Rock Band. But the irony turns to pure sorrow when we see Konami try and get back what they lost, and ultimately fail in the process. Rock Revolution (released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and Nintendo DS) takes the gameplay elements developed in past titles (GuitarFreaks, DrumMania) and attempts to combine them to compete with the high-profile Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises.
What made this game so disappointing? Is there any hope for Konami to make a comeback in the guitar/band subgenre of music/rhythm games? Find out what we think by taking the jump.
